Wednesday Artist Profile

So, I am attempting to start a new series here on my little blog... I thought I'd find an Etsy person to profile each week and do a little write-up.

First up, is the lovely Vicky, of The Jade Poppy. Check out this pendant (I really love it):

Isn't that lovely?

The neat thing is - Vicky is an Etsy newbie, but I know her because she has the studio next to mine at Western Avenue Studios in Lowell! She has been incredibly kind and helpful (including giving Carlos and I great advice on how to finish that floor...). She sells/creates gorgeous original paintings - abstract landscapes - in her WAS studio, and I'm hoping she'll post some of them in her Etsy shop. But in the meantime, I love the things she does have listed!

Really like her pendants, like this one, too:


It would go really nicely with a zippy pouch made of fabric with an Asian theme that I got from another Etsy seller (SmittenOriginals) ...

OK, last but not least, I *adore* these earrings:


I was seriously going to buy these. But somebody beat me to the punch - argh! Congrats to Vicky on the sale, but - argh! LOL!

Hmmm, maybe she'll have some more on Saturday - which is Open Studios day at Western Avenue Studios! If you're in the area (Lowell, Massachusetts, northwest of Boston), please stop by and meet Vicky (and me, lol, and 100+ other artists) in person.

Next week, I'm going to be profiling somebody from the EtsyFAST street team (Fiber Arts), assuming she gives me permission. :)

Awesome feature!! How great of you to feature a 'newbie' - she happens to be very talented; I love those pendants. If I still lived in NY I'd drive up to meet you ladies. Hey maybe one day we'll have an etsy convention! LOL

How lovely to be surrounded by such tallented people. Your studio sounds lovely, I just wish I could pop by on Saturday, a bit too far to go for a day trip from England!!!Have a good day though.
