Got the Blues?

Here is a wonderful selection of Blues, curated by hauntedwillow, a fellow Shops with less than (10) sales guild member.  She chose some really gorgeous items for you to browse that includes jewelry, fine art, handcrafted pens and one of my cute little handmade catnip toy pillows.

Artfire Maven Blues

I was very fortunate, and was including in this stunning Maven Blues collection curated by soapsmith.  Now this is a wonderful selection of jewelry, pin cushions and my cute little catnip toy zombie kitten, in all shades of blue.  I love how soapsmith put this one together, it looks wonderful!

Unique Gifts

And in case you are wondering, Mavens are a group of people who test out new features and tools for Artfire, and give suggestions and feedback to help eliminate potential problems and bugs before admin releases it for the general members of Artfire.  I am fortunate enough to have been accepted as one of the team, and feel that it is a wonderful opportunity for me to give back to the community.  Plus, it is lots of fun!!

Supporting the Indie Artisans

I have been a member of an awesome guild on Artfire for a couple months now, called Shops with Less than (10) sales. It is a great way of learning various ways of promoting yourself, and generally making new friends.  My fellow members are a great bunch, full of support and best of all, there are some awesome artisans with fresh "eyes" who can help make suggestions to better one's chances of being seen in the huge Google pond. 

I wanted to show my support of the guild, so I made this collection of some really gorgeous pieces.  I call it Less than 10 Sales and I am hoping that soon we will have some new graduates in the guild.  Basically, once a studio reaches their 11th sale, they can "graduate" out of the guild.  As you can see, I do love black!

So if you like to support the handmade movement and indie artists, why not check out some of the wonderful artisans? You never know, you may even be able to get your Christmas shopping done early this year!

Pamper your Pet!

Here is my latest collection of Artfire goodies!  Since I love to pamper my own pets, I wanted to show off some goodies that can help you pamper Yours.  Isn't that caterpiller dog costume adorable?

My latest Artfire collection Bubble and Squeek

I am having way to much fun doing these!  I have a list now of potential themes, and instead of spending time sewing my catnip toys etc I find myself searching out lovely items to include in my favourite collections.  I think over time I will be using these for things like Christmas wish lists, sale promos (like the last one, Christmas in July), seasonal and tons of others.

The Artfire Mavens (of which I am a member) get to test run new features for Artfire, and this is the latest one we have been working on.  It is almost ready for release and we are all quite excited about it!

This latest one I made, is based on a phrase in one of my favourite books "Bubble and Squeek". In this case, however, I used mice and soaps LOL instead of food.

Isn't it adorable?  If you click the link it will take you to my collection and from there you can check out all those adorable items I have chosen.

Have fun!

My first Artfire Collection!

I am so very excited!  I was able to create a wonderful collection of some of my favorite things on Artfire in this lovely collection. 

I call it "Crazy Critterz"

Aren't they wonderful?
