Featured Artist: MakingStuffWithLove



Let me start by saying, I'm not a dog person. But MakingStuffWithLove's felted dogs are so adorable, I couldn't not feature them! 

Alice the artist says: " I am so lucky doing what I do. I get to meet the nicest people, customers and other Etsy artisans.
My own dogs provide constant inspiration. With my needlefelting I am able to spread a little bit of the joy my dogs give to me. I get to meet other dog owners and they are, without exception, the nicest people on the planet. Who could ask for more?"

My favourite is this Great Dane:  http://bit.ly/OnRxZ

Featured Artist: TheRainbowRoom


Step inside TheRainbowRoom for a delightful experience! All the colours of the rainbow meet lush textiles in artist Clara's felted jewelry, accessories, cards and--soaps. Yes, felted soap!

Clara says: "I am an artist/designer/craftsperson (I know... I can’t decide which one) who loves colour and especially rainbows. Art & design has always played a big part in my life, and although I am awful at drawing I managed to study Fashion & Textile Design at University, which is where I realised I had a real thing for colour & pattern.
I have worked professionally as a sock designer, mosaic artist and interior designer and a few other things! I really enjoying working & experimenting in many different mediums including felt, feltmaking, mosaic, polymer clay and anything I can use to express my love of vibrant colour and pattern. Did I say I LOVE rainbows!!
I would like to work on some large scale pieces in the future; right now my Etsy shop and my beautiful daughter keep me very busy!"

Her felted bangles are my favourite! I want one of each, starting with the red one: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=23412724
