Wednesday Wishlist: Etsy's Create Crochet Team

For this week’s Wednesday Wishlist I want to give a nod to my fellow team members from Etsy’s Create Crochet Team, made up of Etsians from all over the world. I’ve got to tell you the talent on this Team is extraordinary. Arm these fine folks with a crochet hook and some yarn and there’s no telling what they’ll whip up. I am constantly inspired by the items these good people list in their shops, and am proud to be part of such a wonderful Team.

And I just have to mention that the Create Crochet group is a kind, caring, compassionate bunch as evidenced by the frenzied crocheting of chemo caps and other items to benefit Relay for Life in which one of our own team members, Creationsbym2, is participating.  For details on this Charity Event, check out the Team Blog.  Be sure to check out our Team's Facebook Page as well.

Please show my team members some love by right-clicking on their shop names to open their Etsy shop in a new window. Let’s hear it for Create Crochet!

Wednesday Wishlist: Welcome Home

Home is where the heart is.  Where you feel safe, comfortable, and content.  We fill our homes with things that mean something to us.  Of course my home is filled with a bunch of clutter at the moment, but that's a whole different story.  I'm a gal who shuns "traditional" or "contemporary" furnishings; my taste is very eclectic, as you can see by these selections from Etsy sellers in this week's Wednesday Wishlist.

Get Stoned! First in the "Discover This" Series

I am very proud to present "Discover This," a special series here on the JMO blog where I will be showcasing undiscovered artists that can be found on http://www.etsy.com/ as well as other places on the web.

First up is Marni, a very talented Midwestern artist who describes herself as a "self-taught mixed-media craftsperson. " Says Marni: "I have always loved creating things, from crafts to cooking. I take inspiration from many places, especially nature, to come up with my creations. I'm lucky enough to have a husband that enjoys the same things I do and supports me in all my endeavors." And JMO feels very lucky to have discovered her! Her designs are eye-catching and functional.

Take these Salt and Pepper Shakers with Purple Glass Gems for instance. Standing approximately 4" tall, they are embellished with violet glass gems, wire, and violet glass beads and would make an elegant addition to any table. They are sturdy enough to be used outside for a picnic or backyard bar-b-que, or inside for that fun dinner party. Marni can also make them in your choice of colors!



Or this Red Stained Glass Candleholder with polished Stone Cabachon. Marni created this asymmetrical candleholder using beautiful red stained glass and a polished agate cabachon. The stained glass sits atop a removeable metal stand that holds a tea light candle. Imagine the candlelight playing off the red glass, creating a captivating visual display! The glass piece itself is approximately 4 inches at it's widest point by 5 1/2 inches tall. Sitting on the stand, it is 6 1/4 inches tall.

And this Stained Glass Planter Charm/Suncatcher with polished Jasper Cabachon is a true work of art! Marni created this unique piece for use in potted flowers, houseplants or small container gardens. It can also hang in a window or from your vehicle's rear view mirror. She took a piece of stained glass, foiled and soldered the edges, and attached decorative wire, glass beads and/or charms. A beautiful polished Jasper Cabachon has also been attached to the glass. Use this piece outside in warmer weather, then during cooler months bring inside to add beauty and charm to the home. The charm is approximately 8” long (including beaded hanger & tassel) and 1 ½” wide. A hand-made wire shepherd’s hook is also available upon request.

For more information, including pricing, on these and all of Marni's beautiful creations, please visit her online shop at http://www.madebymarni.etsy.com/. All of her designs would make wonderful and unique gifts for yourself, your friends, or your loved ones.

A special thank you to Marni for allowing me to feature her gorgeous works of art here on my blog.
