More Collaborative Work

After seeing Claybykim's fairy portals, I found a thread on Etsy about collaborative work between Etsians. Although we've not worked on projects together with other artisans, we've loved seeing what people have created using our stamps. I've tagged past relevant posts with "collaboration", so that they can all be viewed together on one page.

And then I found some more pieces I had missed - click on the images for the listings (some have sold).

More clay items from adornyourself:

And the quilted stamped "Celtic butterflies" are by cobaltquilter.

Ads

I took a bit of time today to mock up an ad, as we have another deadline for RubberStampMadness...


I love these images (from RaquelMasri, DesignsbyGinaLouise, and RedHotPottery), as well as this one of Adornyourself's buttons (but the image doesn't seem to show up well at this size, unfortunately.) Loden took a look at this mockup and said that it looks as though we sell ceramics. Sigh - I think he is right. I think we will have to pull together some black and white stamp images and add color. We shall see!

Ceramic Celtic knotwork buttons

Click on the images to see the listings for them.

More wonderful stamped clay objects from Willow Tree Designs (adornyourself is her username on Etsy). She used the small triskele stamp from our Fish & Celtic Knotwork stamp sheet.

I just found the listing for these buttons, but they have already sold. She does welcome custom orders, however, and may post more again...

Clay Pendants

Willow Tree Designs (username Adornyourself on Etsy) posted some more pendants made using the fish stamp... You can click each image to get to the listings.

Update 8.16.08: The listings are no longer there - pulled down for some reason. The photo links now lead to larger images on Flickr.

Our Stamps - Clay Pendants

Adornyourself, an Etsy ceramic artist I've mentioned earlier who has some of our stamps, has been making ceramic pendants.

Here is a pendant that has been claimed by her daughter. She used one of the triskele stamps from our Celtic Knotwork Triangles set.

And here is a green pendant she made using one of the bubble stamps from the Leaping Fish stamp set. Click the image to see a larger picture - the listing is no longer on Etsy.

Sedona, Grand Canyon and Ceramic Artists

(Originally posted on Feb 2, 2008)

I was in Arizona in mid-January for a conference and had a few days on my own over the weekend of the 19th. I went to Sedona, as I always do when I have the chance, and also up to the Grand Canyon. Click the image below to see the photo album:

So I got a kick when I was recently contacted by a ceramic artist based in Sedona who wanted some of our stamps. Her business is called Red Hot Pottery and you can click here to visit her store on Etsy. She also has a blog here on blogspot.

Shortly after that, I sold a set to another ceramic artist: Adornyourself.etsy.com. She is based in Canada and is new to Etsy, although not new to pottery.

Although we focus on the fact that our stamps can be used for velvet, we have also tried to emphasize that they can be used on other materials as well - clay being one of them. We keep meaning to join the local pottery studio this season so that we can actually play with the stamps and clay ourselves, so that we can post examples, and possibly also have some pieces to sell. We are far from proficient with clay... and have not done anything with clay for years. I was very excited to have ceramic artists purchase stamps and communicated a bit with them. I can't wait to see what they create, as their work is lovely.

And now I really should get back to work!
