Introducing......

My newest featured artist interview is here!!

I'm very pleased to introduce you to "WIGGLE"!! Her things are really cool I especially LOVE this blue necklace!!

Here is her Etsy Shop: http://www.wiggle.etsy.com
Her blog is here: http://wigglejewellery.wordpress.com
Her twitter is @wigglejewellery.

In her words:
I describe myself as making funky, colorful and handmade jewelery, which may be chainmaille, beads, wire or a mix.





Do you have a Favorite color?

My favourite colour on its own is turquoise, but I'm also loving the combo of teal and pistachio green at the moment.


What would you say is your Favorite smell?


My elderberry perfume oil.




What would be your Favorite place to live?


I'd love to live in Barcelona; I've visited it several times and it just seems so bright and vibrant, the people are really friendly, and it's full of great art and architecture. The buildings designed by Gaudi especially fascinate me.


All time top 5 Favorite songs?

1. Wondering Where the Lions Are by Donavon Frankenreiter
2. Hide and Seek by Imogen Heap
3. Colorblind by Counting Crows
4. Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol
5. A Dustland Fairytale by The Killers


What are your top 5 favorite movies?

1. Dirty Dancing
2. Pirates of the Caribbean
3. Serenity
4. The Princess Bride
5. Star Wars episodes 4, 5 and 6. Trilogies count as one, right? :)





How do you enjoy spending your time?

Apart from making jewellery, I also make cards and read, particularly sci-fi and fantasy. I'm slowly crocheting granny squares to eventually make a blanket, and I'm having a go at weaving at the moment, on a kid's loom I got cheap on eBay. It fascinates me and has such a history behind it, which I'm enjoying learning along with how to weave.


What is your favorite piece from your shop?

This is a hard question, and the answer often changes each time I make a new piece. At the moment it's probably my Butterfly copper charm necklace.




Why?

I love copper, especially the warm colour of aged copper, and the butterfly charms are really cute. The green brings a touch of colour to it, and I think it's one of the most feminine and flirty pieces currently in my shop. And musical--the charms all chime tgether as it moves :)



What is your Favorite Etsy shop?

Another tough question! Picking just one of the amazing lampwork artists, ceramic artists or fellow jewellery-makers is difficult, so I'm going to be a bit partisan and choose Rhubarb http://fliss1984.etsy.com.



Why?

She makes gorgeous jewellery and I love her tidal range in particular. Her jewellery is unique and elegant, and very feminine. She's also a good friend of mine in RL and we share a table at craft fairs.

I want to thank Wiggle for her interview and hope you all stop by her shop to see more of her wonderful items!

Peace,
Jessica

Where Inspiration takes me.....

So last week I started this cool new thing. I decided I needed to see some new and fun things on Etsy. So I started a thread on one of the forums and asked people to post one of their items that fit my "Treasury Criteria". Here is the link: http://www.etsy.com/forums_thread.php?thread_id=6284749

SO, I got some REALLY great things and I'm saving everything I love and using it in a series of Treasuries I'm calling "Where Inspiration took me..Vol. ?"

So here are my first two! I really love how they both came out.

The first one, while I was going through all the entries I kept finding these REALLY great peachy, green, purple colors. So I ended up using a bunch in my first Volume! I love how it came out! I ended up buying the card with the globe on it! HA!



For my second one I saw this super cool Bright Orange and Purple necklace! Then I found the really great Orange and Purple pin! How perfect...So I created this Vol. 2 Treasury using those 2 items as my inspiration. This treasury was just made today so feel free to stop by and see it in person!

So if you like what you see please click the link above and leave a comment and maybe your item will be my next inspiration!

Peace,
Jessica
