Today I'm featuring a jewelry artist from Manchester, England! Luto Jewellery on Etsy is a little jewelry shop that's currently getting a re-vamp, but I think it's a shop you'll like to browse and watch in the future!
There are so many more pieces to be added and to find that perfect piece, this is a shop you might just have to keep an eye on as new pieces are added.
Leonnie, the artisan behind the pieces in this shop, started making jewelry so she could have her own pieces without paying the growing market prices of commercial jewelry. After making her own pieces for a time, she then moved on to making jewelry for others!
Her goal is to run a shop where customers from all over the world can enjoy her jewellery at prices that everyone can afford and, although her collection is currently small, she's on her way to doing just that! So be sure to stop by and take a peek at this lovely shop and give a boost to a new and upcoming artisan on the handmade marketplace!

You know.... Today's shop is proof that sometime it's worth it to click on those little ads you see on blogs and other websites now and then.
That's how I discovered today's feature shop! I clicked on an adorable little square on a website and it took me into a land of feminine cuteness and lovely creativity that I had to come and share with you!
FeltLovely on Etsy is filled with beautiful felted items from bags, corsages, tea cozies and jewelry to scarves, wraps, slippers and more.
Creativity abounds in this little shop that's filled with colorful pieces and wonderful ideas. I'm especially attracted to the little acorns. They're just adorable.
The artist uses natural materials in her pieces with preference towards the organic whenever possible. She also often incorporates vintage fabrics into her items in a combination of artistic talent and the ancient art of felting. Blended into one, she creates unique, contemporary pieces that are both beautiful and functional in today's world.
Once a resident of Scotland and now located in France, the artist behind FeltLovely has a fashionable flare to her pieces and an inspiring eye for color.
And, not only does she offer a beautiful variety of items for sale in her shop, but she also loves custom orders and offers to happily collaborate with customers on a unique item designed just for you!

In my artistic and craft endeavors, I find a lot of things inspiring. Nature, food, scents and flavors, sounds and music, people and personalities. There's an endless supply of inspiration out there for the creative soul and I love to tap into all those different venues.
Sometimes, I run across beads or different supplies that stir inspiration. At other times, I run across other artisans that do so.
Today's shop is one of those artisans. NicoleHill on Etsy has some of the most beautiful wire-work and chainmaille jewelry that I've seen. I've always been fascinated by chainmaille. It's one of those talents that is just mind boggling for me, with all those tiny links put together in intricate and inventive ways. When I visit Nicole's shop, I love to browse her chainmaille pieces because it reminds me that anything is possible with a little inventive creativity and ingenuity!
Nicole uses both the cool shades of silver as well as the rich warmth of copper in her jewelry, combining many pieces with gemstones and glass bits as well. She also is open to creating custom pieces to your specifications! All of her pieces are 100% handmade with care and attention to detail and are shipped from London or the south coast of France depending on where she's staying at the time.

As a jewelry connoisseur, I don't just make jewelry but I absolutely love shopping for jewelry in other's shops. I can browse through an artisan jewelry shop for hours. And there are so many of them out there with so many different styles and techniques that there's always a wide variety of beautiful pieces to browse through too!
Today's shop is one of the many but, as you'd expect with any handmade jewelry shop, with their own specific style and atmosphere. BuySomeLove on Etsy is filled with a sweet romanticism and dreamy elegance that is sure to make any woman smile.
BuySomeLove is a shop ran by a husband and wife team of artisans in their late twenties with a true passion for creativity. And, not only are they interested in similar creative pursuits, but they also have day jobs that are in the same field as well! And all of the proceeds from their shop go towards their son's college fund.
This truly creative family is sure to charm you with the contents of their shop. I'm particularly drawn to the beaded necklaces as well as the bracelet that's featured here in this post. I have no idea where they found the adorable little colored rose charms used in many of their pieces, but there are a variety of them in different colors scattered throughout BuySomeLove's shop and they make an absolutely lovely (and very romantic looking) accent to the pieces that they're used in.

Thank you, everyone, yesterday for taking a look at the off-the-topic-for-this-blog post I put up. Every once in a while, a break from the norm is a good thing, especially for something so important.
When I first came upon today's shop, I was struck at first by the shop's clean lines and crisp photos. So struck, that it took me a minute to realize what I was looking at.
I've seen quite a few of the "reuse, recycle" artists and work out there, and I'd never name any names, but there's a substantial portion of artisans in this venue that produce (what to me personally) looks like just... slapped together junk.
Tanith on Etsy is -not- one of those.
Tanith sells Guitar String, Steampunk and Found Object Jewelry What this means is that they specialize in jewelry handmade from guitar strings and other found objects. Yep... Found objects. You wouldn't know it, though, to look at the pieces in their shop.
Tanith Rohe is the artist of these terrific, innovative pieces, and is a featured artist at both The Museum of Craft and Folk Art in San Francisco, CA as well as the Sonoma Valley Music Center in Sonoma, CA.
Tanith loves to take an object that would appear as trash to another and to turn it into a work of art, and does an excellent job at doing just that! This shop is a stunning example of what you can do with a little innovation and creativity behind you to guide your way.

I enjoy making jewelry. I absolutely love it. It's one of the creative treasures of my life. I love shopping for jewelry too. And wearing jewelry.
I admire the craft, style and creativity that goes into every piece from concept all the way through to how a person wears it and pairs it up with their attire to create a unique "look" all their own.
Because of this love, I've seen a LOT of jewelry over the years. I can honestly say I've never seen anything quite so unique and beautiful as the pieces I browsed through in the shop featured today, though.
Today's shop is JenJewelry on Etsy, and the pieces in this shop are so beautiful and so intricate that I just couldn't tear myself away until I'd clicked on every single listing and looked at every single picture.
I can't think of a single piece in Jenny's shop that I wouldn't want to own and be honored to wear, and I can't imagine anyone else not feeling the same way too! If you don't believe me (or even if you do) this is a shop that you really have to check out for yourself to truly appreciate anyway. SO head over there and take a look! You won't be disappointed and are sure to be tempted by what you find.

Today's feature is a wonderful jewelry artist who is just starting out on Etsy.
Designs by Tahra is a fresh, new shop that opened up just this last December in 2009 and is filled with a small but absolutely gorgeous collection of pieces that are both unique and stylish.
Tahra West, the shop's owner, contacted me in e-mail recently asking for some advice and when I followed the link to check out her shop I was both pleasantly surprised as well as.... well, tempted. She has some wonderful pieces in there with a very unique inner vibrancy to them.
As a mother who home schools her children and loves to cook, I can't even imagine how she finds the time to make such beautiful pieces but I predict future success for this creative woman's future and I bet when you take a peek, you'll agree!
So head over to Designs by Tahra today, take a browse around and give her some hearts or leave a comment here to help encourage an up and coming jewelry designer that's sure to make others take notice.

This is not a gift I would suggest you give to just anyone, but when I saw it? I couldn't help but feature it!
It's been said now and then over the years 
since I was born that I was born with an extra mean gene or two. Most (yes, honest... I swear) people think I'm sweeter than butter frosting, and most of the time I am. But, like most women out there, I too have my moments.
So, when I saw this necklace in a treasury on Etsy, I couldn't help but laugh at the variety of reactions someone could get by giving it as a gift!
The necklace is by Bonny Jewelry, a beautiful shop filled with lots of shiny little treasures to browse through from classic pieces to the eccentric like the one here that caught my attention. She has great photographs of her jewelry to browse through and a variety of pieces and styles to choose from, so be sure to check her out!

I was absolutely fascinated when I came across today's shop, and I have a feeling that you will be too!
I have very little experience with polymer clay other than the colorful disk-like beads that you occasionally find here and there in craft shops. It's one of the mediums that I've just never tried to experiment with.
I'll tell you what though... Madeline over at 
beadsCraftz has this down pat.
Just look at the bracelet in the picture to the right if you don't believe me. Have you ever seen anything so beautiful and intricate and just... perfect? I haven't. I can't even imagine the amount of time and effort put into making this piece and many others like it that are offered over at Madeline's shop.
Madeline is a self taught polymer clay artist that has spent a lot of time experimenting to achieve the best results possible for her craft. All of her beads are made from Premo or Sculpey clay, which are both artist grade polymer clay. The use of this clay combined with Madeline's image transferring techniques create some truly stunning results that you can clearly see in the variety of pieces she has to offer.
This is definitely one shop you don't want to miss... so go check out beadsCraftz and take a browse through Madeline's beautiful gardens. You'll be happy you did!

I got really excited and beyond fascinated the first time I saw work by this particular artist, and I'm thrilled and honored that they agreed to letting me feature them here on my blog.
This artist is a glass worker, and what I saw 
is the focal pendant that you can see pictured here in my post. This lovely, softly etched and hand-formed borosilicate glass shell pendant is so beautiful that my mouth dropped open in amazement and I was left speechless.
For those that know me, speechless isn't something that happens all that often so you can understand my excitement.
I'm sure a part of my fascination is the fact that I have a great admiration for those that do lampwork arts and other types of glass work. The other part of my fascination? It has everything to do with my love for beaches and oceans.
Lori Lochner is a full-time studio glass artist, metalsmith and jewelry designer. This piece, like all of Lori's beautiful glass art pieces, is meticulously created and then kiln annealed.

Suns and moons are a theme that's a personal favorite of mine, so it's no wonder when I came across this necklace that I instantly fell in love with it.
The necklace is made by DelicateLinks, a crafter on Etsy that's entire variety of beautiful pieces is inspired by a favorite necklace that her grandmother used to wear. Her work is based on how that necklace was made... with dangles and fancy, delicate chains.
Her shop is full of unique, beautiful pieces reminiscent of an era gone by. An era of beautiful jewelry and quality craftsmanship. If you like jewelry styles of the past, particularly of the turn of the century era up into the 1920's, this is a shop you're sure to enjoy browsing through.

Honestly? I've seen a lot of amazing artwork done with colored pencils. I had a girl in many of my classes back in high school, in particular, who created the most unique and amazing pieces with a vibrancy that I just couldn't pull my eyes away from every time I saw one.
But I've never seen anything like this done with pencils, and I'm completely in love! I can't even imagine how she does it. It's mind boggling!
Each piece in Jennifer Maestre's collection of art pieces is hand made by Jen and looks like a wonderful jigsaw puzzle of colorful pencils fit together in unique and interesting shapes.
On Etsy, she sells earrings, pendants, pens, necklaces and more. She also has a selection of "Pencil Urchin" sculptures that have been recently featured in American Style Magazine!
On her website you can see an even larger variety of Jennifer Maestre's works and you'll be amazed by all the color and creativity displayed.
Take a peek for yourself and a browse around her website, I bet you too will be fascinated and wondering just how in the world she makes those beautiful, intricate little bits of pencil art!
