ITSAStudioArts
Announcement
ITSA Studio came about after I closed my bead store in the 90's; I wanted to get into my own studio to create art. When I shuttered the windows of the shop, I did not leave behind my love of world art and craft and cultures, beads and embellishments, textiles/fiber and more...rather it followed me to its new home, ITSA Studio, where I create contemporary fine art for collectors and galleries, teach, and have my inventory. I have a great deal more in the studio than what I list on Etsy: seed beads, bugles, stone beads, metal beads, ethnic textiles and jewelry and...and...and!
Although I do not have open hours in the normal retail sense, if you are going to be in the Sacramento, CA area, and would like to stop by to see if something strikes your fancy, just send me an email and we will try to set up a time for your visit.
A word about shipping: I will charge you what I am charged when I go to the Post Office, but Etsy has its own way of estimating shipping, and it is sometimes inaccurate. I will ship by the most economical way possible taking into consideration any special instructions you may have given. I try to ship most items in the Post Office's first class or priority envelopes or boxes, and sometimes the cost of doing so is in conflict with the shipping estimate you are given on Etsy. If the difference is minimal, I will cover that cost, however if it is substantially higher, I will contact you to let you know the difference. Additionally, if the amount you paid for shipping is too high (over $1.00 extra), I will refund you the overcharge, but in either case, I will contact you with information regarding the situation. Thank you for understanding!
***I am sorry, but I will no longer ship outside North America. Customs, tariffs, and escalating costs, in addition to the delivery problems caused by COVID, have made this change a necessity.***

5 out of 5 starsSo grateful to have found this! Had a similar flute from Colombia I bought while there in 2017 which sadly broke. I found this superb replacement! Shipping was fast and item was expertly wrapped to ensure safe passage. Seller wrote a personal note as well. Thank you so much!

5 out of 5 starsSeller was amazing. Quality is great. And she gave me another thing that I can't repay her for. She is a genuinely good person with integrity and did not put money over an opportunity to help. Shipping was quick and my expectations were exceeded. Thank you so much!
