Introducing you to - SeaAndSoulCharts

Hi There.....Are you a fan of Nautical Charts?

I beg your pardon.....you might be thinking 😦

Let me explain what a nautical chart is first. It is a graphic representation of the sea area and the coastal regions near to it. But I am sure it will become clear to you once you see what SeaAndSoulCharts has in store for you.

But first a little bit about how they got started. It began as a friendship between Bob and Anna who met while producing nautical charts for different companies.

Anna, the art director, and Bob, the manufacturer, shared besides what they were producing, a love for water, family, and friends. As a result of changing times, they decided it was time to work together under their own brand where they could ensure the best possible customer experience and have complete creative and quality control.

Almost 10 years ago Bob's company and Anna's company began working together to create personalized works of art. Having drawn and or manufactured for different companies over the last 13 year, the next step in the evolution was to manufacture their own brand with things like clocks, cribbage boards, serving trays and ornaments.

I bet I made you quite curious to see more about this amazing shop. Here are some of the Items I chose for you.

Introducing you to - TerraOpheliaDesigns

Hi There.....Do you have a green thumb?

I don't that's for sure, I most recently destroyed a cactus.....not sure how but it died that is a fact.

So I am glad to hear that I am not alone, cause the shop owner of TerraOpheliaDesigns says she doesn't have a green thumb either 😀

Succulents are supposed to be easy to care for, or so they told her.

If you don't know what a succulent is.....here is what I found about it on the internet 😃

They are plants that have some parts that are thicker and more fleshy. This way they can retain water in dryer places where water isn't always available.

So they told Claire, our shop owner that these beautiful, colorful little plants that live in the desert would be pretty hard to mess up.

But they were wrong.....at least what Claire's concerned.

So born out of her logic-defying ability to kill even the hardiest of desert plants, Terra Ophelia Designs is all about the beauty of nature hand-sculpted into permanently vibrant creations.

Terra is Latin for earth, and Ophelia is her desert-dwelling pet leopard gecko, who represents a gem of beauty in nature's harshest terrains. For her these both names represent the loveliness of deserts and the life that flourishes within them.

She hopes that her designs can represent a slice of that beauty for you in a form that isn't quite so short-lived as the succulents she cultivated in both live and clay form in her humid North Carolina home.

I think it's time now to show you some of her handcrafted creations she wants you all to enjoy 😊

Blue Succulent Flower Garden Ring, Colorful Nature Clay Jewelry



Purple Clay Succulent Terrarium with Sand in Square Bottle

Clay Leopard Gecko, Leopard Gecko Terrarium



Large Succulent Earrings, Clay Plant Jewelry, Handmade

Those are some pretty cute succulents.....don't you agree?

Hope you like my blogpost.....Until next time.....Have a great weekend

Introducing you to - NatureArtByBeccky

Hi There.....Are you a fan of mother nature?

Who isn't.....right? I actually wondered where that phrase came from. So this is what I found 😊

The phrase most likely stems from Greek Mythology. The Goddess Ge or Gaia (meaning earth) created everything and even gave birth to Uranus (meaning sky) and Pontus (meaning sea). So if this Goddess gave birth.....she must be a mother.....so this way they came to the term mother earth or mother nature.

Interesting to know, Isn't it? 😄

But this being said.....or written.....let me introduce you today to another Etsy shop called NatureArtByBeccky.

This shop owner doesn't have the easiest life, being a single mom to 2 boys with autism spectrum. You can understand that she wasn't always into art.

But most recently she had been inspired and started doing it just for fun.

Many of her friends wanted to know where she got her artwork from, and some of them also asked her to make them something especially.

This way she started thinking if her friends were interested then maybe others might even be willing to pay for her art. So she decided to give it a try and open an Etsy shop.

Let me show you some of the creations you can find in her shop 😊

Purple Painted Leaf 




Triple Rainbow Painted Leaf



Steelers Art Painted Leaf

Rainbow Pride Painted Leaf



Fiery Autumn Painted Leaf

Introducing you to - hugsbeads

Hi There.....Are you a fan of hugs?

You are.....come on just admit it 😉

A weird question you might think. But it has everything to do with Hugsbeads, the shop I am introducing you to today.

Paula, the shopowner, wants to take you on a journey on how beading found her. She was not particularly looking for a hobby, let alone a passion, but it chose her.

Sounds cool.....don't you agree 😃

It all started 10 years ago, shortly after she had given birth to two beautiful bouncing identical twin boys. She already had a 6-year-old and 4-year-old son running around, and now she was up to her eyeballs with feeding twins and changing diapers. Oh yes, she says, the endless diaper changes!

I already had similar thoughts when having one kid at a time 😰

She was running on steam, not getting much sleep, feeling each day merge into the next with every minute scheduled. She loved being a mom more than anything but was feeling slightly overwhelmed.

But help was on its way.....Her mom came over to help her with the twins and brought with her a project for them to share. A simple earring bead pattern, a needle, thread, and some beads. They sat down to learn how to make this pair of earrings. And that is all it took for actually both of them to fall in love with beading. Especially the fact of doing something a bit 'girly' for a change.

That is how a lot of us Etsy sellers get started.....doing something simple, loving it and wanting to learn more 😃

So to continue her story.....From that point, she researched how to sew different bead weaving stitches and learned techniques of bead embroidery, which she absolutely loved to do cause it gave her the feeling of being able to be as creative as she wanted.

Her twins are now 10 years and she has been beading for all those years! She loves the feeling of designing and completing a piece. It's just part of her now.

She finds her inspiration everywhere. Sometimes she draws them, sometimes she just keeps them in her thoughts until she gets into her studio, and other times she has no clue where a piece is going until it's in her hands and she gets to work on it.

You might have been wondering where do those hugs come in then 😯

That is because there is love behind every piece, a story, a discovery, a journey.....a hug in form of the beads. She wants that hug to be a small reminder that we all have talents within us that are just there waiting to be discovered.

Now let me show you some of the pieces she has listed in her Etsy shop.

Dark Red Crystal Oval Pendant, Bronze Beaded Long Necklace



Sun Ring, Beaded Celestial Rings, Bronze Polymer Clay Sun



Polka Dot Earrings, Black Rockabilly Earrings with Czech Peacock Beads



Victorian Gothic Pendant, Black Polymer Clay Beaded Embroidery



Dusty Blue Flower Earrings, Polymer Clay and Crystal Dangle Earrings



Right Hand Ring, Bohemian Wide Band Ring for women



Native American Fringe Necklace, Green Blue Jasper Stone



Moon Face Beaded Shawl Pin, Celestial Beadwork Embroidery



Small Hoop Earrings, Turquoise and Bronze Bohemian Hoop Earrings



Ombre Earrings, Pink Square Earrings with Floral Modern Rustic Design



So tell me.....did you get her hug 😃

Introducing you to - Knitux

Hi There.....Are you a fan of knits?

They are warm and cozy don't you think so?

I did a search on Wikipedia to find out how far knitting goes back 😉 It seems the oldest knitted artifacts are socks from Egypt. They were from the 11th Century. They are a very fine gauge, done with a complex colorwork and some have a short row heel. The complexity of these knits suggests that knitting is even older than this archeological find.

But let me introduce you today to Knitux ðŸ˜ƒ

The shop owner, Martha is a photographer, graphic designer, and illustrator from Latvia. She has been interested in knitting and crocheting ever since she was a little child. Like most of us knitters (I do also knit occasionally 😄), she was taught by her mother and grandmother. But later on, she also took craft lessons in school.

She makes knit and crochet beanies, berets, shawls, and scarfs. It is good to know that she works with natural materials such as wool, alpaca fiber, linen, and silk. But they are sometimes blended with small amounts of high-quality artificial fibers to make the yarn stronger and perfect for daily use.

She lives in a small village called Asune, that is located in Latgale. This region is famous for his blue lakes and strong craft traditions. Some people there still use horse carts as transport.

That is quite astonishing, don't you think so 😲

But let me show you some of her beautiful creations 😊

Hand knit rainbow gradient cat beanie hat. Kitty hat with cat ears



OOAK Oversized rainbow slouchy wool winter beret



Yellow and knit bandana cowl. Alpaca/wool lace shawl



Brown-ochre gradient hand knit ear warmer



OOAK gradient slouchy winter wool beanie. Hand knit hat



Wedding light pink hand knit lacy shawl. Bridal lace shawl



OOAK Orange-citron green-blue gradient hand knit hood hat



Hand knit pink and white gradient beanie hat



Wedding hand crochet ivory white lacy stole. Bridal lace shawl



Oversized slouchy wool winter beret. Hand knit hat



Tell me what you think? If you ask me.....those are really nice knits 😘

Hope you like my blogpost.....Until next time.....Have a great weekend and New Year's Eve 🎉
