A New Marketplace

Scott's Marketplace has been around for a little while, I bookmarked them, got busy with a few orders and finally opened shop there.  Stop by my GypsyGoods Shop on Scott's Marketplace.  I am getting it filled in my spare time.

They will be running a few sales this fall:

Facebook

Long story short...

I had to create another page for my shops on facebook.  After a week of trying to merge the page to the profile without success... I gave up and started over again.  A new beginning so to speak.

Mini Art Canvas Buttons (ABEO) for Artists

So, what can you do with the ABEO Art Buttons that I sell in my Shops?

The answer is your imagination is the limit!  They are small mini canvas covered buttons waiting for you to add your art.  They are available in two types of canvas, regular and watercolor.  1.5 inch and 2.25inch buttons.  Anything you can paint on a larger canvas can be painted on these (only smaller).


One talented Jewelry Artisan that creates beautiful wearable art is Connie Owens Art.  She uses watercolors as one of her mediums to create one of a kind artisan jewelry.  This beautiful leather southwest art bracelet is available in her Connie Owens Art on Etsy

Visit her Etsy Shop where you can find this beautiful  Hummingbird Pendant Necklace Spring Colors, Hand Painted Original Art Pendant, Pin or Scarf Slide.

These are just two of her beautiful wearable art jewelry.  The holidays are right around the corner.  She also does commissioned work (get your orders in now-before the Holiday rush).  She is a great person to work with.

Rainbow Connection

I have had the song "Rainbow Connection" stuck in my head all afternoon....
Judy of Portable Graffiti makes these adorable large 2.25" rainbow magnets and sells them in her Portable Graffiti Zibbet Shop.  I don't know how many button machines she owns....But, her variety and prices can't be beat. She is a great person to work with and if you need any custom work done.  She has Graphic and proofreading services available in her other Zibbet Shops.

January

January is a great month to play catch up.  No holidays, maybe a couple of Birthdays...

The last two days I have added a new item to my Artfire shop.  Button Badge Reels.  I had lots of buttons around.  I am always cutting circles out of magazines and playing with Photoshop.  Today I made at least 50 button badge reels.  I let them dry 2 days before I move them off their tray.  I photographed buttons I made 4 days ago and then photoshopped them.  Oh, how tough it it to take pictures of shiny mylar buttons.  Some of my last photos might have to be re-shot.   Here are two of my latest creations.

Now if I can figure out how to be everywhere with my social networking, groups and my blog gets so neglected....  : )
