In My Studio – Fashion Colors for the Year

Good Morning,

Today I thought we might look at some of the things that drive the fashion industry, and like it or not, jewelry is part of that weird world of models and run ways.

This year the powers that be in the Fashion Industry have decided that Green is the must have color for 2013.  And not just any green, oh no, it has to be Emerald Green, a light, translucent and beautiful natural color.

Raw Emerald

Pantone, makers of Printers Ink even has a variation of the color.

The Alchemists Vessel is no stranger to this lovely color.  Not only is Emerald the owners Birthstone, it is also one of her favorite colors, and has been incorporated into some of the pieces created by Alixandra, long before the Fashion Industry said so.

Chainmaille Bracelet “Serpent’s Spine” – Emerald Green Czech Glass beads and Silver plated jump rings.  By The Alchemists Vessel.

A simple Memory Wire wrap bracelet with a contrasting blue bead.

Green evokes a feeling of open spaces and large fields, a feeling of openness, calmness and peacefulness.  The color is also most famous as “The Emerald City” in the Wizard of Oz.

The color Emerald represents, harmony, wisdom and love.

Thank you for stopping in and having a look.

The Alchemists Vessel would like to wish you a pleasant day.

Handmade Artists, A Site For Sore Artists

Happy Friday,

This morning I would like to share some of the wonderful things that handmadeartists.com has to offer.

Many of you claim you love etsy, Ok that’s fair.  However the big orange E has turned away from its original goal, and become the Walmart of the internet.  Such a  shame.  Many artists, artisans, and makers of beautiful things have jumped etsy’s ship, or been forcibly removed from the site or other sites due to one perceived infraction or another.  I would like to show you how simple it is for you as a buyer or seller to use Handmade Artists.  Buyer accounts are always free!

This is the Home Page or the top of it.  From here you can access all of the neat stuff on the site.  The Categories menu takes you to all the fabulous and must have items that vendors have for sale.

Let me first say that their service is absolutely impeccable!  Seller or buyer account holders will always receive the highest level of quality customer service and care that I have ever had the pleasure to experience.  They have also upgraded and expanded their servers, this has allowed for a faster site along with room to grow.

Buyers and others you will not be disappointed.  Structured very much like etsy, they have many amenities, like the Forum, Seller Shops, Highlights, and a Blog right there on the home page so you can keep up with the latest trends and advice or just reading about a topic that interests you.

You do have to sign up, which is easy, simple and super quick.

 
For the artists, if you are unsatisfied with etsy or other sites, art fire or what have you, take a look at what handmade artists has to offer:
Your Shop account is just $5.00 a month or $50.00  a year.  That is cheaper than listing 20 items on etsy and re-listing them every four months for a year.  A real value for the money, and you can list a lot of items, I won’t say unlimited, there is a cap, but I don’t think any one is going to list 10,000 or more items so it might as well be unlimited.  Best part is, your listing never expires, as long as your monthly shop fee is paid, your item is there forever!  Bonus!

The forum, talk about friendly, happy people.  Got a question, you will get an answer, have a problem, there is support, just want to hang out and chat, yup, they have that too.  There is even a scheduled forum chat every Thursday night.

Sign Up is easy, and although there is not a “transfer” files button, this gives you an opportunity to list your items fresh.  The item page is quick, easy and intuitive! Plus there are all kinds of categories in which to list your item, choose the one that is right for your item.  Get in now while it is still small.  578 shops and growing everyday!  Also a roll by or marquis is included, and your shop will appear in the list below on the home page!

  Sellers and Buyers, worried about security and your information?   The site is safe, secure, and uses Pay Pal.  I myself have made several sales and have found it to be a simple and hassle free process.  I know, I know, some of you have had issues with pay pal.  Don’t forget that many of the artists are willing to make other arrangements to make sure the item you desire gets to you!

Highlights.  What is a highlight?  If you have used Etsy or looked at a friends “Treasury” you know what a Highlight is.  Created by Sellers and Buyers alike,  20 items are chosen from around the site and compile a list of favorites, give it a theme, or use it to enter one of the many contests the site hosts.

Selected items from the winner of Highlight Contest #29, the prize was a $25.00 Gift Certificate to any of the shops on Handmade Artists.

 Let’s talk about Promotion.  You know the squeaky wheel gets the grease, and are there some squeaky wheels over there.  You can only promote yourself so much; but at Handmade Artists, they do it for you as well.  Your items are shared by the powers that be and forum members as well.  They post / share things on Facebook, Pinterest, have a Google Community page, and you can feature yourself on their blog (just fill out the questionnaire and watch Kimberly turn in to a wonderful article all about YOU and YOUR SHOP!)  The perks are almost endless, and the site is just a lot of fun too.

Participate in the Blog Ring, sign up to contribute to the site’s blog.  Get connected with other artists in your area, post a photo of your newest item and watch the shares roll out.

Frankly there is no better place to sell or be a seller on the internet.  Buyers, all this is available to you as well, you don’t have to make things to play on the site.  Join the Forum, see what those clever and crafty people are up to, throw out suggestions, talk about your favorite pet.  Whatever, the forum is there to cultivate communication and community.

I would also like to mention that this year Handmade Artists was nominated for a Shorty Award.  An award given by Twitter for the use of its site to promote small business on Social Platforms. Handmade Artists came in 8th.  Not too shabby.

Five Great Gifts For Giving – List #6

It’s Tuesday and we have another look and five cool shops and five neat things that you give as gifts, or treat yourself. 

From: Jackie Guttuso Design

Winter art sale, Original, Brown bear art, Woodland, Modern nursery, Woodland Christmas, Original paper sculpture, Cabin decor, Forest

 

I created this original paper sculpture of a brown bear in a forest by painting heavy duty watercolor paper with acrylic paint and then cutting and layering each piece to create depth. The result is a whimsical, one of a kind piece that would look great in any room, but especially in a woodland nursery or a cabin.

The colors would really pop in a white shadowbox. (not included) See photos for ideas for matting and framing. It has an approximate 1/8″ white border which can be trimmed if necessary for framing.

SALE:$35; was $40

From: I Paint It Pretty

Wedding Wine Glasses For The Bride And Groom

 

This is a set of two (2) mint green wine glasses that have been painted with deep red and white roses. I attached a sprig of tiny white seed beads to the stem of each glass with a white ribbon. What a lovely set of glasses for the wedding toast. And then a cherished keepsake from the wedding day. These would be a unique bridal shower gift. Or treat yourself, you deserve it.

These goblets were painted with non-toxic acrylic enamel so they are perfectly safe to use. I heat set the paint so it is quite durable. The manufacturer of paint states ‘top rack dishwasher safe’, I would highly suggest gentle hand wash, just as you would any other special piece you may have. The ribbon is not secured so just untie it to remove before washing.

Featured Artist – Reef Botanicals

Good Morning,

This morning I have the pleasure of introducing you to one of the busiest artists on handmadeartists.com. Larissa from Reef Botanicals.  Not only does she hold a job as a Paralegal by day, she knits, sews, face-paints professionally, and makes wonderful handmade soaps, candles and lip balms with her husband.  This is one busy gal. 

I really like this shop and their goods.  I love her descriptions, she gives each item a unique story, either how the item came into being or a little history, like her Thieves Oil Lip Balm, one of my favorite products from

The best way to explain what they offer is in their own words:

We are Larissa and Eric, the makers of our high quality, all natural 
handcrafted soaps and other indulgences.
We do not use any pre-made bases, but make all of our products ourselves,
 from our own recipes, with our own four hands, in small batches. 
We use only the finest all-natural ingredients in our bath and beauty 
products, to give you a luxurious bath experience. We therefore do 
not use synthetic fragrance oils, only essential oils. The same 
standard is held for colorants, and the colors you see in our bath and 
beauty products come only from the ingredients themselves or safe, natural 
additives.
Most of our soaps are suitable for vegans and/or vegetarians, and 
those are noted for your convenience.
None of our products have been or will ever be tested on animals.

Who doesn’t like a gift basket, Larissa will make one just for you 
with alll your favorite items from her shop.

Custom Gift Basket

Product Details:

This listing is for a gift basket made from any of our current 
products that add up to approximately $40.
When you order this item, I will contact you to discuss what you 
would like in your basket.  Please be available to discuss, as 
I cannot ship the basket until the contents are agreed and finalized!
This is the perfect gift for Chanukah, Christmas, or any other event.

Thieves Oil Lip Balm

Product Details:
What is Thieves’ Oil?

As the story goes, during the bubonic plague, there were thieves 

ransacking the houses of the dead and dying who, oddly, didn’t 

catch the disease.Finally, four of them were captured in France 

and charged with the thefts.  At the trial, the magistrate offered 

the thieves leniency if they would reveal how they managed to avoid 

contracting the dreaded plague despite their close contact with the 

infected corpses. The thieves disclosed that they were perfumers 

and spice traders who had rubbed themselves with a concoction of 

aromatic herbs. It worked!

Together with beeswax, cocoa butter, shea butter, almond 

and other moisturizing oils, and vitamin E, we have used those 

same herbs in the form of essential oils to create our Thieves’ Oil 

lip balm: cinnamon, clove, eucalyptus, rosemary, and lemon.

It’s a wonderful, spicy mix of scents.

Go ahead and steal a kiss!

.25 oz

Did I mention she sews?  Fabric of My Mind

 

  

Have little ones or a home on the range?  This adorable stuffed cow is 

just right for home decor or a little one’s playmate.

 

Flossie the Cow in Black and White

Product Details:

This adorable cow is based on my character, Flossie, in a community 
theater production of “Cinderella Confidential.” I made one for each 
cast and crew member as an opening night gift, but they’re too cute to 
keep for just them.
The fabric is 100% black and white cotton. The pink felt that forms 
the snout, yellow felt horns, and black and white felt ears and 
hooves are 100% polyester, as is the stuffing.
She does have pretty cream button eyes, so she’s not for children 
under 3.  She’s approximately 6.5″ tall, not including the horns, 
and 5″ wide, not including the ears.
Hand sewn with care in a smoke-free, animal-friendly home.

  
Deep Blue Celtic Knot Hand Knitted Scarf

Celtic knot pattern known as a six-strand Saxon braid.

either men or women.  It’s 5’5″ (66″) long and 6.5″ wide.  
100% Acrylic.
Created in a smoke-free, pet-friendly home.
Easy Care Instructions:
Mashine wash warm on a delicate cycle with mild detergent.  
Machine dry on a moderate setting.

These are just a few of the products this artists has listed.  
We hope we have inspired you to take a look at what else this talented
and clever lady has in her shops.  Or maybe you’d just like to follow
this crafty woman and she what she comes up with next.

Memory Box/ Photo/ CD Holder/ Recipe Box

This is a black heavy duty cardboard memory/ keepsake box . The lid has been hand painted with classic black and white flowers and vines. There is a factory printed design on the body of the box. It’s a beautiful way to save all those precious mementos in one spot. It can be personalized with names and/or dates for an additional fee. The box comes with 10 dividers so filing is easy. It would also make a great recipe box. It can hold over 1000 photos. It can also hold 14 DVDs or 18 CDs. There are so many uses for this box.

I used acrylic paint which I allowed to air cure for 24 hours. Then it was given three coats of varnish.

Fun Stuff To Do For Halloween Weekend Links and Promotions

Happy Friday,

I have been so busy this week filling orders and trying to make new items that I have not had much time to do much else.

Halloween arrives on Wednesday of next week and there are some fun things happening around town.

Frightened Felons at the Old Penitentiary
 Friday Oct. 26, 2012
The Old Idaho Penitentiary will once again open it’s doors during the spookiest season! Walk through 140 years of history and, of course, hear about all the scary but TRUE things that happened in every hidden corner.  All ages are welcome, but remember some themes can be too scary for kids under 10.

I attended last year as part of the entertainment. It is interesting and a lot of fun.  History rises from the Dead for this event.

Linder Farms
A real working pumpkin farm.  They are open all month, check the link for times.  This is family fun, walk the maze, but don’t get lost…
Home of BSU’s Corn Maze.

It reads “Bronco Nation”

Field of Scrams at the Farmstead
I-84 and Eagle Road…
Where getting lost means finding fun!

I have not attended this, but I have been to the corn maze and other attractions.  These are OUTDOOR events and it is COLD!  Dress warmly, and bring a flash light, there isn’t any electricity out in the fields or the woods and it’s  DARK out there!

This year is the 13th Annual Haunted World! How appropriate!  

This is the largest outdoor Haunted attraction in the area, and it is very entertaining.  The Haunted House and Walk through the woods is nerve-racking fun!   Things jump out at you, costumed players pop out when you least expect it, diving from the corn rows or stalking you through the woods, and there are things planted and buried along the path (like trampolines) that make you feel uneasy.   Spooky, scary fun!

Please remember to follow the links for information, many of these events require a ticket or admission fee.  Times and dates are listed on their websites along with other information, like maps and directions.

Be safe out there this weekend!

Thank you for coming by and scaring up something to do!

The Alchemists Vessel would like to wish you a Spooktacular weekend!
