Etsy Finds: Fresh on the Scene
Here at Etsy, we're always looking for talented new artists, and these up-and-comers do not disappoint! This collection of items comes from Etsy shops that are less than three months old — some with no sales, some with a few. Fresh talent grows around these parts! Any of these would make great holiday gifts, so …
Fresh Shops: RimaDesigns
I was recently searching for capes and things with hoods (hoodlets, perhaps?) on Etsy and came across the sheer genius of rimadesigns. This Fresh Shop just set up in September 2008. Her capes and hoodlets are just too well designed and functional — thus, they garner some investigation! Here's a little …
Fresh Shops: DiscreetCharm
I'm a big fan of anything of the natural history vein, so when I saw DiscreetCharm's animal inspired metalwork, I was hooked. Her jewelry features wolf heads and antelope horns, all small enough to carry with you. She's been on Etsy a little less than two months and is still getting her feet wet on the site. Here's a …
Fresh Shops: The Secret Nest
Sometimes when you find a Fresh Shop, it's like a beam of light coming down to show you something you haven't seen before. I happened to bump into TheSecretNest a few weeks ago and was thrilled at how unique their items were (and how lovely their photos were too!). So I asked a few questions to learn a bit more about …
Fresh Shops: commondecency
I recently spotted a new quirky shop on the scene. The seller in question? None other than pillow, tote bag and t-shirt maker commondecency. Their unique combination of antique imagery and contemporary forms is pretty captivating! Here's a little interview we did with this Fresh Shop. Can you tell us a …
Fresh Shops: jillrosenwald
Ceramicist JillRosenwald's beautiful works have been all the rage on the blogosphere as of late. Her gorgeous lamps, bowls and vases are the picture of muted palettes and graphic beauty. This Fresh Shop may be brand new to Etsy, but she's an accomplished artist who has already sold her art around the world …
Fresh Shops: transitantenna
I was recently given the heads up on a very interesting new shop. Though TransitAntenna has only been on Etsy for a few months thus far (one sale and counting!), this Fresh Shop has a pretty interesting story. You see, this shop has decided to take the "road less traveled." After leaving their homes in South …
Fresh Shops: badhairmountain
Sometimes I find art on Etsy that really speaks to me, in some language or another. It's possible Sean from badhairmountain, a Fresh Shop started in August 2008, found all my metalhead friends and drew their portraits. There's also the possibility that he just lives in the coolest town ever where all the …
Fresh Shops: LuckyJackson
"I like the idea of working really hard at being happy and I think that you should surround yourself with things that reflect this, including art. I like making art that is fun, that you get a chuckle out of when you see it, a bit of nostalgia that everyone gets. I hope that my fellow Estians find that in my work!" — …
