Etsy Artist of the Week

This week's artist is Buddhakittyglass. This shop does great work and has something in common with moondog treasures: our shops are named after our wonderful pets!!

Buddha Kitty does great work with dichroic glass, as seen by this beautiful blue platter.











From the artist:
I have loved glass for many years. From my initial work in cold glass and small glass jewelry to collecting beach glass while walking on the shore, glass has long fascinated me. I especially enjoy watching the beautiful transformation of glass once heat is applied to it. I began working on kiln formed glass at home in 2006 in my first small kiln. In this kiln, I make tiny “dots” and small pattern bars, which I use as the centerpiece of embellishment on solid transparent glass. All pieces featured here at Buddha Kitty Glass are made in my home studio in Seattle.

Etsy Artist of the Week

In honor of Earth Day, I have chosen studiomme as my etsy artist of the week. This etsy artist recycles paper from books to make envelopes. Click on the pic to see the listing and more from this great etsian.

A word from the artist:

If my life were perfect, I would have been born two hundred years ago. Instead, I find myself in the technology age using the traditional pen and ink techniques of dead people.

All of my prints are high-quality, printed on archival-safe cotton rag paper by the Cadillac of printers, an Epson large enough to take up an entire shelf of my boyfriend's bookcase.

This is a listing for 8 envelopes handcrafted from a repurposed, 1976 book on Italy. Enjoy Italians in short shorts, old cars, and even older cities.

Someone wants my photo advice!!

He he! I've been interviewed for someone's blog! Check out http://glorioushats.blogspot.com/ for her compilation of tips from Etsy artists on how to photograph jewelry. Here is the photo from moondog treasures that she likes.

It's back!! My Etsy Artist of the Week. I know it's been awhile...so, here goes! This week's artist is audzipan. She's based in Wood Cross, Utah. I just fell in love w/ her photos. She's a great breath of spring! Click on the pic visit her etsy store.

From the artist:

Here we have three wooden blocks depicting a basil leaf, a fern, and a poppy flower, perfect for that little spot on the wall or empty space on the bookshelf. The designs have been screenprinted on a piece of tea-stained muslin and nailed to the blue-gray washed wood with upholstery nails.
