Andes Cruz was featured on this lovely “Etsy Item Of The Day” blog, ( and twitter) HERE.

Rosy Revolver has a blog feature coming up this week on Tuesday (the 28th); regarding Pricing of work. Here’s what she has to say: “I’m going to be blogging on pricing this coming Tuesday.  Not my specific formula, but things I have to take into account when it comes to settling on that final number.  This is to both educate my customers/potential customers, and maybe (hopefully) enlighten new sellers on how to price their work.” I think this is going to be a great discussion. Rosy has also invited other artists from all fields to participate in the discussion, and will be linking to their posts from her blog.

This weeks’ Team News:

Don’t forget to check out our Talk About Blog from last week! Great topic, “What would you love to make, without boundaries or limitations of skills, or technology? “ great posts 🙂

Moxie And Oliver : From the creative genius behind Moxie and Oliver comes AlereModern.com – a new website for handmade.  The website will launch later this summer (or early fall, depending on what part of the country you are in) but she is searching for artists now, and blogging about the artists who have already signed on.  Check it out here – http://aleremodern.blogspot.com – and be sure to send her an email if you’re interested in being one of the artists.

NEDbeads : is working on a necklace designed by Margie Deeb FOR Margie herself to use at her speaking engagements, and has so far successfully completed a freeform peyote bracelet in lapis & amethyst, which is personally thrilling because she has never been able to come up with something freeform that she really liked before.

Bella Bijou Jewellery is celebrating her first wholesale order! Her jewellery will soon be found at Nokomis Clothing in Edmonton, Ab., Canada. A shop that features only Canadian made goods from talented designers.

Danielle Miller has been featured in the September issue of “Lapidary Journal/Jewelry Artist” magazine in an article entitled “Net Profits: Get Synced” and on their “Jewelry making Daily” blog article entitled “Integrating Your Social Networking”

This week’s News

Don’t forget, this week, the 15th is our monthly Talk About Blog feature, so please keep your eyes tuned for it coming up. It’s going ot be a great topic this month!!

Moxie And Oliver wants to share some news!  She says “In late June, we welcomed our baby daughter in the world. Now as she approaches two months old, and my entire life has changed, I feel the need to make a few more changes.

I used to say that doing custom orders was my favorite part of my business. I love working with customers to create a piece of their dreams, and over the years I have been fortunate enough to meet some wonderful people, and create incredibly unique pieces for them. Where I love it no less now than I did before, my time has been severely limited. I barely have time to work on new piece, and spend much of my time either creating custom pieces or made to order items.

So, since the reason I became an artist in the first place was to exercise my own creativity, I feel that right now I need to return to that. I haven’t decided when yet, but soon (before the end of the month) I will be removing all made-to-order items from all of my shops (1000markets, etsy and artfire) and I will be discontinuing custom ordering. I will offer my Smokey pattern wallets and guitar straps for the holidays, but that is it. Other than the few Smokey pieces, my shop will be entirely limited to stock on hand.

I have already begun to work on new pieces, including an entirely new line for AlereModern.com. I am sure you will all love the new pieces being added to my shop – just remember that they will all be one of a kind, so if you see something you like, don’t pass it up.”
