I was on etsy’s front page! Thanks to fiveforty for featuring my dark horse hoop earrings in this treasury. Yay!What is a treasury? According to sweetestpea, the “Treasury is a member-curated gallery of short-lived lists of 12 hand-picked items each (plus four alternates). It functions as a high-demand (and pretty!) promotional tool that many devoted Etsians fight to get. Members can feature their favorite items, items selected on a theme, or just however they like. The Treasury is not intended for self-promotion, but instead to acknowledge and share the many cool things for sale on Etsy. Admin often choose an exceptional Treasury list to promote on the home page and occasionally make them to tie into Storque articles or special events and occasions. ”

Artisan wire wrapped earrings: Coral finds a friend

Here are the sterling silver wire wrapped hoop earrings to coordinate with the bracelet pictured below.

These dangly hoops are slightly more than an inch in diameter and wrapped with many feet of sterling silver wire. A red coral rondelle, also snugly wrapped, dangles from each hoop. I oxydized the whole earring for depth, and then shined the surfaces.

 

 Friendly indeed.

Etsy published its brand spanking new version of Alchemy, a giant electronic wish list of sorts for all things, or at least mostly all things, hand made. 

We, the lowly shopper, proclaim our need to the etsy world, and then etsy artists ‘bid’ to fulfill that need. For instance, I REALLY want some new super cool hoop earrings. I want some pretty particular designs and components and posted my request. Within hours I had at least a dozen custom hoop earring possibilities to choose from. Fabulous hand made hand crafted possibilities, all within my price range. Awesome. 

Etsy is still working out the kinks, as I saw a listing requesting used tshirts and another for sheet metal. So its not perfect, yet, but oh the possibilities.

I’ll post pictures of my fabulous custom designs as soon as I receive them. The anticipation…..
