Norah Downey not only happens to be a wonderful friend, but she's also one hell of a jewelry designer and creator. With three distinct Etsy jewelry shops, she's truly become a top innovator and mini-mogul. Her latest shop, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/SilverInitialJewelry?ref=search_shop_redirect">Silver Initial Jewelry</a>, markets eco-friendly, recycled silver antique wax seal jewelry, and jewelery
specializing in personalized initials/monograms. It's a very old laborious process, and Norah gives it a gorgeous, timeless spin. It's perfect for men or women. You can have pendants, charm bracelets, key chains and you can even design your own jewelry. It's also nicely affordable.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
A raging trend right now seems to be pet inspired jewelry. Whether it be paw impressions cast in silver or even pet noses, people are going crazy for these precious trinkets. Pets are people's children and what could be sweeter than wearing Spot's nose around your neck. It's not for everyone, I know, but I happen to be on the bandwagon. They're even using the cremation ashes of pets as infusions of the jewelry-making process. Fluffy could be in a pair of diamond earrings. Now that particular trend spooks me. A lucky paw keychain or a nose necklace, however, makes me feel like my dog will always and forever be with me. I will list a few of the people who create such jewelry, which consists of using a non-toxic putty mold to take the impression. I thought my dog would freak out, but suprisingly enough, he didn't. It only takes a couple of seconds, but you may have to try a few times to get a good one. The mold is then sent to the creator, who converts it into the metal version of your liking. Bronze, gold, silver - all can be fabricated. The prices range from $120 - $350, depending on the size and style. I know my dog isn't going to live forever, and the thought of that kills me. But to have his nose around my neck everyday makes life much less painful.</div>

Remember when you were a kid and created all sorts of Shrinky Dinks? Well, I've let my inner child have a blast recently, and purchased some Shrinky Dinks kits. And......wait for it.......they now have a Deluxe Shrinky Dinks Maker so your mother doesn't have to put them in the oven for you. Woweeeeeee!!!!! I got one and have not stopped making things since. You can also buy just the Shrinky Dinks paper so you can draw your own designs. They even have paper for printers. You can find something you like on the computer, print it, and shrink it. I haven't had this much fun since Disneyland!!! I encourage everyone to buy a kit or some paper and try it. It'll bring back loads of memories and make lots of new ones. You can buy a jewelry kit, an animals kit, a Monster Lab (which I got and love!) - virtually any kind of theme is available. So go on and let your inner child roam free! Who says there's an age limit on art???<br />

Not only is he an amazing designer, but as you can see, he's cheeky too. I was first introduced to his creations by buying one of his candles. After using one, I proceeded to buy 10 more. I'm particulary attracted to his vases, that are a bit racy and alluring. I also enjoy his jars with naughty titles. All of his designs are ceramic and delicate. I'd like to show you a few of his pieces:<br />

I just discovered a new line of handbag accessories that are sure to make you smile. The product line is called "Candy Store," and it is delicious! All of the products are made of jelly-type rubber silicone, and they come in a variety of happy neon colors. The silicone is strong, stretchy and tear-resistant, and it is lovely to touch. They're totally yummy and they're deserving of they're name. I'd like to show you some products:<br />

Come on ova and take a look at my shop: <a href="http://www.funkyfeltflowers.etsy.com/">Funky Felt Flowers.</a> I'm open 24/7!!

So I picked up these adorable glittered lips embellishments at Michael's and needed to figure out what I could create with them. Since I work with felt, I decided to make little heart shaped faces with colored movable eyes and those luscious lips. I made 3 assorted brooches and they're the cutest little things. (I can brag...) Though I digressed from my usual flowers, I hope you won't hold it against me. Here they are:<br />

I bet you can guess my favorite class growing up in schools (elementary, middle, high). Yup, art. It wasn't just because it was a time for creativity, it was the impact of the entire class. It was a veritable craft klatsch. You could feel the cumulative creativity in the air, the palpability of ideas, the functioning imaginations.We would simultaneously create and talk, advise, express, display. There's just something magical that happens when you have a confabulation of artistic people. It definitely inspires; that's for sure. Art brings out the best in others. It's a fact! And furthermore, people come out of their shells. Accomplishment abounds! Art class should be mandatory everywhere. So much is learned, and not just about art in itself. There's psychology involved, philosophy, history. The list is endless.<br />
<br />
So, that's why once a week, me and my artsy friends get together and have our craft klatsch. We rotate hosts, and food and beverages are available. Everyone brings their projects and we all just go at it. It's one of the happiest days of the week for me.<br />
<br />
In fact, Etsy has a lab called "Etsy Labs In Brookln, NY." Craft Nights at the Etsy Labs are free and open to the public, 4-8 p.m. on Mondays. You see, they're in on the know too!! There's also Meetup Groups; <a href="http://www.meetup.com/">www.meetup.com</a>, where you can find virtually any kind of meetup you like in any town.<br />
<br />
So even if you take a knitting class or crocheting class, not only will you learn something new, but the experience in the class setting will bring the learning to new heights. I swear. There's just something about a bunch of artistic minds being in a room together. It's truly magical!<br />

This past month when I was holiday shopping, I noticed some bling in the corner of my eye. They were small star ornaments that I thought would make great pendants for necklaces. So I purchased them and decided to digress momentarily from working with funky felt. I bought four 2" stars in 2 colors and 2 textures. I made them into necklaces and here's what was created:<br />

I read an article about this organization, and it made my heart smile. It's called the MD Anderson Cancer Center Children's Art Project. You'll find something for everyone here - even the family pet - courtesy of the pediatric patient's creativity. Each ornament, card, book and frame is inspired by the artwork of these cancer patients. Proceeds go towards trips, camps, educational programs, and scholarships for the kids. I've always said "art heals," and in this case it heals both patients and customers. Not only does the artwork give the patients something to do, it inspires their creativity and gives them a sense of accomplishment. I believe this aids in healing. And of course, the customers admire the talent, so that in itself inspires the patients to continue creating. I honestly believe that a program like this should be instituted in all pediatric cancer centers. It breeds creativity, imagination, accomplishment and healing. Whoever came up with the idea is an absolute genius! I don't know about you, but I'm about to get my checkbook out. And you can check out the goods at: <a href="http://www.childrensart.org/default.php?ourdata=main">http://www.childrensart.org/default.php?ourdata=main</a>.<br />

<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A friend of mine (she deserves mention: Cathy Tuggle at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000107262267">https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000107262267 </a>gave me an idea using my Funky Felt Flowers. She urged me to make "Interchangeable Funky Felt Flower Necklaces." I thought the idea was brilliant so I ensued it. And, I love it. To summarize, you purchase a ball chain with a pendant clasp on it; small and large flowers with holes in them are then purchased and put on clasp. Easily installed and easily removed with the bail clasp. So, you can veritably wear a different flower necklace every day of the week. People will think you own a share in Funky Felt Flowers!! All of the pieces are cheap and fab, fresh and colorful. Here's a lookee:</span></div>

Okay, people, not only have I slashed ring prices to half and the rest of the jewelry also reduced, I'm giving 10% off with coupon: FUNKY45.<br />
<br />
Rings:<br />
Originally $15.00, now $7.50<br />
Earrings:<br />
Originally $15.00, now $10.00<br />
Necklaces:<br />
Originally $15.00, now $12.00<br />
Anklets:<br />
Originally $8.00, now $5.00<br />
Sets:<br />

The Cocktail Rings are the REAL bargain, though. They're the muses for my shop. Who wouldn't want a fab, fresh, colorful, vibrant, trendy cocktail ring to rock the world? I wear 3 at a time!!<br />

Smart phones are all the rage; the iPhone, the Blackberry, the Droid... They're staples of modern living. Most people can't exist without them. I mean after all, with all the apps available, you can basically manage your entire life with your phone; check your email, surf the web, check your calendar, keep reminders. The list goes on and on. So since these "gadgets" are omnipotent, I figured I'd feature some etsy cases for them. God forbid, they get scratched or dropped! And after all, if you have the trendiest "thing," you might as well have the bling to keep it safe. What if you lost it (Perish the thought!!!) - there goes your life...<br />

There are millions more on etsy, so take a look. You can even have one customized. I mean, you can't let your cherished phone be naked....</div>Michelehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14487597951074661153noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2215820931183545101.post-41826807944471488372011-11-09T16:04:00.004-05:002011-11-14T10:30:33.078-05:00Treasured Treats<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
I love etsy treasuries. I love viewing them and making them. An etsy treasury is a curated list of items based on a theme. The name "Treasury" is actually apropos because you have to go on a treasure hunt through people's shops in order to find the items for your treasury. Sometimes I get so absorbed in the items I'm looking at, that I forget I'm treasure hunting. Coming up with a theme is fun too. I try to be as creative as possible. You also want to make the treasury look pleasing so it's important where you place your items. People then view them and add comments if they desire. Some of them even make the front page of etsy, which is an esteemed honor that I haven't yet figured out how to do. Someday. Anyway, I wanted to share some of the treasuries that I've been in. It makes for a good blog post.<br />

I love doing custom requests because it forces me to work with said choices. In other words, the desired object is not up to me, so I feel that I have to be extra creative in order to fulfill the request. Sometimes, people even like to collaborate with you. That's always fun. And they like to get a glimpse of how you work. I want the creation to be extra special so I try my best. I just wanted to show a couple of my custom requests because I feel like boasting a bit. I'm allowed!! :0) So here are a few:<br />

So if you'd like something custom and special, don't hesitate to ask. It can even be something that you think can't be done. I can do it. I assure you.</div>Michelehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14487597951074661153noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2215820931183545101.post-36538573952033457162011-09-09T14:48:00.004-04:002011-09-09T14:50:59.938-04:00Funky Felt Flower Jewelry Sets<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
When I began my endeavor to open a shop on etsy, I envisioned only selling my <a href="http://www.funkyfeltflowers.etsy.com/">Funky Felt Flower</a> cocktail rings. Then people advised me to make other pieces of jewelry, so I took the plunge. In this post, I'd like to showcase my sets because they're unique and different. I'm just going to post the photos with links to my shop, where you can see more photos of them.<br />

I miss her. I miss my mother every day, every hour, every minute, every second. She died of breast cancer when I was 14. The pain is still tremendous; the wound never healed. The time passes and the memories grow distant, but the pain remains. I bring up my mother because I believe that's where I got my artistic ability. I believe artistic ability is innate, whereas creativity can be gleaned. You can become an artist by learning and practicing, but I think the seed is genetic. And I definitely believe that everyone is creative given the chance. When I was 12, my mother brought me down to the crawlspace in the basement. There she unearthed 12 oil paintings; mostly still life and portraits. She said that she painted them when she was young. Her mother bought her paint and she just started creating; no lessons, no advice, no prodding. I was blown away. They were so professional! I can't believe that they were created by a novice hand. She was an artist with a capital "A." But there's more. She then showed me an old record - thick, black, one-sided, and played at 75rpms. It was from the 50's and it was her demo. There were 5 songs on it, and the sound that emanated from this 5 ft., stunning, pint-size woman was tremendous! She had pipes like Barbara Streisand. Again, I was blown away. She said the reason she never pursued her talents was that she got married and wanted a family. Oh, and while I was growing up, she was taking sculpture classes and created beautiful pieces from stone! She didn't start with simple clay, but marble. I'm convinced she could have been famous - for her multiple talents. Incredible. Not only was her life cut short at age 41, but I'm sure that the world has been denied of a major talent; that of which the capacity will never be realized. At least I know where my artistic ability comes from. That I'm certain.<br />

I think it might have started with the Easy Bake Oven. No, it had to be earlier than that - though the batter and dough never did make it to the oven (I was too impatient and my mouth was watering!). I think my obsession with craft kits began on a sick day from school. My mother would always bring me home craft kits when I was sick so I wouldn't feel too bad and I'd be occupied. So therein instilled the obsession. I've always been creative and loved art periods in school and camp. It was unavoidable - I was destined to somehow be involved in a creative career. But back to the craft kits. I'm a little embarrassed to say that to this day I am in love with them. I still purchase them - who cares if the age bracket is 4-6 yrs old? I still get a rush and a sense of accomplishment. Even though I design my own jewelry for <a href="http://www.funkyfeltflowers.etsy.com/">etsy</a>, I make time for the kits. Actually, I think it would be a financial boon to by shares of Play-Doh, Alex Toys and The Orb Factory!</div>

And who can forget Play-Doh? It's an institution!! Before the kits came out, we just played and sniffed that wonderful odor de Play-Doh. Remember, it proceeded, polymer clays like Sculpey and Fimo so it must be respected! I deign to say that every child has experienced Play-Doh during their childhood. I recently purchased a black can of Play-Doh because I don't remember having that color as a child. Is it new? All I know is that when I opened it and inhaled tremendously, I almost died and went to heaven. Demeter even sells a fragrance called "Play-Doh" which of course I have. I don't wear it lest people try to mold me into shapes! Ya never know -- this <u>is</u> New York City!</div>

Lately I've been into "Sticky Mosaics" which are little square adhesives that stick onto jewelry and trinket boxes, boards, paper dolls - depending on the kit. There must be 50 of these kinds of kits and I've completed almost all. And yes, I save every kit creation I make. I plan on showing them all to my grandkids someday!<br />

I don't think the child inside us ever goes away. I think all of us have our childhood creative tendencies. I know a lot of men who still love Legos (who doesn't - I mean, the world should be made of Legos!) and I think that a lot of fathers are having more than enough fun "helping" their children build kits.<br />

For me, yes craft kits are fun and creative, but they also bring back that childhood memory. Not only am I happy and satisfied when I finish making something, but I also feel like I just transported back to a happy time in my life. I think I will forever be doing craft kits - probably way into my 90's!! They provide me with happiness, creativity and bring out my inner child. Everyone should try them. Go on, I won't tell....<br />
