Lime Organic Goatmilk Soap from CircleANaturals

more about CircleANaturals: I started making soap to fill in the slow time on our farm, and to help me over the speed bump of having to give up making jewelry. Due to an illness I have lost some of my fine motor skills. I can honestly say, I love making soap and all natural body care products. I was sad to give up jewelry, but the soap more than makes up for it. One door closes and another opens.

Wish Hand Stamped metal Pendant from MindyKuen

more about MindyKuen: My husband and I both enjoy the satisfaction one gets from making something. So MindyKuen. Etsy is a team effort! My husband does most of the metal stamping and I polish, string, sew & maintain the site.

Intoxications of Spring, Open Heart Series from WingedWomanArt

more about WingedWomanArt: My meditative images are released from a textural, charcoal or pastel-coated surface by erasing, scratching, and sanding. An integral part of my art-making process is preparing the pressed wood panels to a workable, yet tactile surface. These designs are also carried forth into my metalwork/metalclay jewelry. I hold a degree in Studio Art with a focus on metals from Mount Mary College, a small women's college in Milwaukee, WI. Inspiration for my art is found during the solitary, reflective moment immersed in the natural world. Living in a breathtaking river valley in rural Wisconsin, I am surrounded by the bounty of nature, so inspiration is rarely further than barefeet and an open heart away. My work focuses on a vision of humankind united, earth connection, and environmentalism and a portion of every sale is donated to humanitarian and environmental projects.

Mini Tin Pill Box, or Coin Case, with Polymer Clay Decoration, Multicolored Design, OOAK from ClayCenter

more about ClayCenter:

My name is Berit Hines.
I am a graduate of the Royal Academy of Art and Design in s'Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands with a Bachelor of fine Arts degree in Ceramics.
I worked in Ceramics for over ten years, having regular shows in galleries, participating in art fairs, and teaching Ceramics classes to adults as well as children.
I moved from Holland to the US in 1999, and retired from Ceramics, after having sold my studio and most of my work in order to be able to immigrate.
I found a wonderful outlet in polymer clay. I approach the material in the same manner I used to work in ceramics: I like to let the material "tell me what to do", and I love to work with the paint-like layering effects of the colors as well as the lively movements of the distortions. I hope you will feel that joy in my work!
