Blue and brass, feathers and a touch of nautical accents. All brought together, you end up with a beautiful shop ran by a spectacular artisan. Maureen Kirchdoerfer creates gorgeous items offered in her shop, Release Me Creations (Zen25), on Etsy!
This shop is filled with a wonderful and creative collection of necklaces, earrings, bracelets and cuffs, rings, cufflinks and more. I'm particularly drawn to the pieces that have a nautical and ocean theme including necklaces depicting dangling seashells and a truly spectacular brass wrist cuff with a detailed octopus design depicted on its surface.
There are even a few creative pieces like the one featured in this post that have natural elements included from seashells to fossilized sharks teeth.
Maureen puts a great deal of herself into each and every piece she designs. This creates an incredible release for her heart, mind, and soul that has assisted her through rough times and continues to soothe the soul in today's hectic world.

For today's feature shop I had an extremely hard time picking a picture. There's just so much jewelry in this shop that I've fallen in love with that it was nearly impossible to pick just one. In fact, it was so impossible that I decided to use one of the features on Etsy called an "Etsy Mini" to share four of them with you instead!
Taylor's Eclectic on Etsy is filled with beautiful colorful jewelry with a delicate, feminine flair that draws the eye and tempts my wallet... and I'm positive that it's going to tempt your wallet too no matter if you're looking for a gift for yourself or shopping for someone else.
All pieces are in Taylor's Eclectic are individually hand-sculpted of paper and wire for a unique, artisan style. There are no molds or forms involved in the work at all. Instead, each piece is a wearable sculpture, specially sealed using a technique the artisan herself developed so that they are waterproof against the worst of weather conditions.
Taylor's Eclectic also offers custom orders! So if you feel inspired by the artist's work but would like something made just to your specifications or your imagination's musings, you can contact the artist for custom work as well.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Fourth of July yesterday!
Today I'd like to introduce you to a member of Etsy who is not just a team member in the BESTeam (Boosting Etsy Shops Team) that I've mentioned here on the blog in the past but is also a fellow member of the QESTeam (Queer Etsy Street Team)!
The Queer Etsy Street Team is a very supportive and wonderful team of sellers who fit into the spectrum of the LGBTQ society (that would be Lesbian Gay Bi Transgenders Queer). Since July is Pride Month, it's my honor to be able to introduce to you one of the members of this team during such an important time of year!
Ellesbeads on Etsy is filled with funky eco-friendly jewelry and accessories including not just Pride Jewelry but also earrings, necklaces, bracelets, rings, charms, brooches, barrettes, bookmarks, cell charms and more. I'm particularly intrigued by the rings they have for sale. As you can see by the picture in this post, they're very unique!
Everything is colorful and bright and absolutely beautiful, much of which is vintage inspired with a twist and often takes recycled goods as well as donated and discarded items and combines them with beautiful beads to create many of the pieces offered!

I'm all over the place on the net and I discover the artisans and artists that I feature on this blog from just about everywhere I visit from photograph sites to search engines, browsing through Etsy, Artfire, 1000 Markets and Zibbet to forays into Facebook and Twitter.
Today's shop, I first discovered on Flickr! You'd be amazed just how many artists and artisans (besides just photographers) are on Flickr showing off their creations, their work spaces, homes and creative processes through photographs.
Yali Paz-Gilboa is one of these and I did a little digging through her profile to find her outside Flickr for further exploration. She has a lot to explore too!
Yali designs the cutest brooches you'll ever set eyes on, and that's what at first drew me to her work. Wonderful hand embroidered felt brooches of little girls in different colors, styles and shapes abound in her shop. Each one with it's own personality and sense of style. Eye colors, hair colors, skin colors and hats abound... all with pretty lips and rosy cheeks.
She also offers colorful felt flower clip barrettes, unique embroidered wall art, magnets, necklaces, rings as well as other hair accessories.
All of her items are so very adorable and you'll be hard pressed to choose just one. These wonderful pieces will also make terrific gifts for just about anyone from little girls to mothers, grandmothers, neighbors and friends. They're sure to bring a smile to the face of any girl or woman who appreciates cuteness, no matter the age.
