Team Spotlight! Interview with Supermomma45

MsAnomaly's interview with supermomma45

1. When did you open your Etsy store and begin selling?
I opened my shop on October 9, 2007

2. How did you select your shop’s name?
At first, I was going to call it my stained glass arcadia. A couple of friends did over my shop look and gave me the name Supermomma45.

3. What do you create and sell in your Etsy shop?
All of my items are stained glass that I design and make myself. It could be night lights to kitchen cabinet door panels. I love to design and make them. Anything is possible in the world of stained glass. I tell people if you can imagine it, I can make it. One time when I was only doing cabinet doors, a person wanted a Garfield Clock. Well, I made a 3D image of Garfield with the clock in his belly. Really neat!

4. How did you become involved in your craft?
Becoming involved with stained glass was a pure accident, literally. On Sept 2, 1982 I was involved in a car accident. My face was put through the windshield. My left shoulder was shoved between the driver seat and the side of the door. My steering wheel was shoved into the column with my chest in which I broke four ribs and punctured my left lung. I was messed up badly. I looked like Rocky in the movie. From there, I went into sleeping 23 hours out of the day. One day, my brothers had a hard time getting me awake. They rushed me to the doctor. My left side of my face was swollen four times it size. Had a fractured cheek bone. I was not pretty by the least. Anyways, the doctor put me on Tylenol 3, which at that time was very new. I was doing the opposite now of being up 23 hours out of the day. That is when I started to take stained glass classes. Everyone thought I was out partying it up, but in truth I was learning a new trade. So, out of this terrible accident came the love of stained glass.

5. Explain your favorite part of the creative process.
The whole process is the best experience. The greatest is seeing the project start as an idea and then seeing it complete.

6. Do you sell in another Etsy store or anywhere outside of Etsy? If so, where?
Etsy is my only store I have right now. Starting next month, I will be selling my art at the Fairfield Art Walk the first Friday of each month.

7. So far, what project are you most proud of?
The one project that I love so much is the one of our Lord. I drew the picture from a small 1 x 1 picture free handed. http://www.flickr.com/photos/supermomma45/3189156043/

8. What advice can you give to someone who would like to learn your craft?
My advice to someone new is that you have to love what you do. If you dream, think, and eat of it, then this is what you should do. Let your imagination flow. Pour it into the wonderful colours of glass. Take your time. You will love the outcome.

9. What motivated you to join the Etsy Beagle Street Team?
When I found out they had a street team for beagles, I was thrilled. I have a little mix breed. She is half Lab and half beagle. Her breed is Labbe. Her name is Oreo. http://www.flickr.com/photos/supermomma45/3285253478/
She is all black except a little white on her paws and throat. She is named after the Wizard of Oz when the guards are marching back into the witch's castle and they say, "Oorreeoo." As soon as she heard her name, she barked. So, Oreo was chosen.

10. Any other places we might find you (Flickr, blog, MySpace, etc.)?
I'm on facebook and the blog.

Team Spotlight! Interview with StuStuStudio

MsAnomaly's interview with Cher of StuStuStudio

1. When did you open your Etsy store and begin selling?
September 25, 2007. I opened my first store in 2006, but had to close it because of a family emergency and they didn't have a vacation mode in those days. So, some of my replies will apply to both. Stick with me, you'll see why in the next answer!

2. How did you select your shop’s name?
Aha! The first shop, and one of my alter egos is CheyenneGlass. I borrowed the name of my little "pocket beagle" Shy~Anne. She was named that because she was shy. Well, terrified was more like it. We got her from the shelter and she was sooooo sweet, but timid and scared of men. I hadn't had her very long before I had open heart by-pass surgery and mainly due to my inability to take anti-allergy meds, she was adopted by my son, DIL & GS. Grandson was just as shy, but they became buds and neither of them are anything remotely resembly shy anymore. But the name stuck. I still have me website under the name http://www.cheyenneglass.com/.

StuStuStudio came about because my first studio was so tiny that when I took a picture of it, the term 'studio' was bigger then IT was, so I shortened it to 'Stu'. Well, obviously the next 2 words off of my pen was Stu Studio. Phil Collins rules!

3. What do you create and sell in your Etsy shop?
Hot Stuff! Kiln formed glass for jewelry, clocks, 'spa vessels' (aka sink) etc.

4. How did you become involved in your craft?
For 20 years I really didn't do well at traditional leaded glass, so when mosaics became popular, I jumped on it. I made everything from the stepping stones to garden benches. Heavy!! My DH got smart and bought me a kiln for Christmas, against my better judgement. I spent months trying to learn, and finaly drove to Corning NY for classes. I now own 3 kilns.

5. Explain your favorite part of the creative process.
Having something come out of the kiln the way you hoped it would, or even beter.

6. Do you sell in another Etsy store or anywhere outside of Etsy? If so, where?
I've got a destash store, StuStuStudio2.etsy.com and I've started the bare bones of a shop on Artfire. My website could eventually become a shop. Right now it's a brochure.

7. So far, what project are you most proud of? http://www.flickr.com/photos/1cher/2793999284/

http://www.flickr.com/photos/1cher/379873164/

8. What advice can you give to someone who would like to learn your craft?
Have a passion for glass, then lots of time, money and effort! It's been as much of a science as an art.

9. What motivated you to join the Etsy Beagle Street Team?
Here is ShyAnne (top) visiting me, and Brando looking pathetic. http://www.flickr.com/photos/1cher/2446072136/

Here is Brando & Stella, and Brandos' personals ad. http://www.flickr.com/photos/1cher/2408293607/

You'll notice the the little Stella gets the big bed, while Brando prefers to tighten up into a little-big ball of fur. My first encounter with a beagle was years ago, when a stray old beagle informed us that he'd be living with us. He was ultimately named Trouble, which he never was. Trouble and Stella are aarrrrooooing on the other side now, best buds, I'd be pretty sure. In short, I am a beagle rescue group.

10. Any other places we might find you (Flickr, blog, MySpace, etc.)?
I'm here, I'm there, I'm everywhere!

Team Spotlight! Interview with Cutiepie Company

MsAnomaly's interview with cutiepiecompany/Hunter'sHideaway:

1. When did you open your Etsy store and begin selling?

I opened my main shop in Jan of 2008 and began selling a month later. My second shop was opened in March of 2008.

2. How did you select your shop’s name?

Cutiepie Company--It was actually a domain name I purchase several years ago with the intention of starting my own website to sell paper goods. This was before Etsy was even around. I never did start that website, but I still own the domain name, and I thought it would be a good place to start.

Hunter's Hideaway--For my second shop name I was at a bit of a loss, so I named it after my little beagle, Hunter. Since I love alliteration, I came up with Hunter's Hideaway.

3. What do you create and sell in your Etsy shop?

I sell handmade paper goods such as notecards, journals and gift tags. In my second shop I sell magnets and pinback buttons (and also a bit of vintage and destash).

4. How did you become involved in your craft?

Good question with a long answer! I have been involved in arts and crafts since I was a kid, in one form or another. I have also had a lifelong obsession with paper goods, and harbored a secret wish to make and sell them. Actually I have been making paper goods for friends and family for a long time. I discovered Etsy one day in Dec. of 2007. Browsing paper goods here I discovered the Gocco machine, which is a portable screen printing device. I knew instantly I had to have it and that I could print my designs on notecards and fulfill my secret wish! The rest is history, as they say.

5. Explain your favorite part of the creative process.

Definitely the hands-on: The drawing, cutting, glueing, sewing, printing, painting or what-have-you. Whatever makes the biggest mess.

6. Do you sell in another Etsy store or anywhere outside of Etsy? If so, where?

In addition to the two Etsy shops I also have a shop on Dawanda.

7. So far, what project are you most proud of?

I would say it is my mixed media pieces, which are not currently for sale in my shop. I do hope to be able to sell prints of these soon. (as soon as I can afford to purchase a high-end printer that I have my eye on!)

8. What advice can you give to someone who would like to learn your craft?

I'm not sure I'm qualified to be giving advice! But I will say that for anyone interested in gocco-printing, to give it a try. It is very easy and fun as well. The only downside is the scarcity of supplies. If someone is considering purchasing a unit, make sure to google around and do a little research on it. The scarcity of supplies (bulbs and screens) has driven the cost up, so that is something to be aware of.

9. What motivated you to join the Etsy Beagle Street Team?

My love of beagles of course! I adopted my beagle about 4 1/2 years ago. Her name is Hunter and she is a sweet and lazy little lady. That's Hunter in the photo at the top of this interview post!

Team Spotlight! Interview with BeagleBeads

MsAnomaly's interview with BeagleBeads

1. When did you open your Etsy store and begin selling?

I opened my store on December 17, 2007.

2. How did you select your shop’s name?

The shop name was inspired by my beagle, Wilson. I don't remember the exact specifics, but my husband and I were just playing around, throwing out ideas, and BeagleBeads stuck. Wilson tends to inspire a lot of our ideas.

3. What do you create and sell in your Etsy shop?

Right now, the shop is devoted to one of my newest hobbies, beadweaving. Specifically, my husband and I enjoy making beaded cabochon necklaces (a cabochon is a smooth, dome-shaped stone, or piece of glass, porcelain, button etc). Lately I have been having fun making seed bead bracelets. The agate cabochons are beautiful, but they tend to limit my color palette to earth tones, so I've enjoyed getting to play with color in the bracelets. There are also a few miscellaneous beaded items in my shop, based on randomly discovered materials and ideas. I'm always on the lookout for cool beading components in thrift stores, flea markets, etc. I get almost ridiculously excited about recycling and reusing.

4. How did you become involved in your craft?

Upon meeting my husband (about 4 years ago), my first thought was "What a cool necklace he's wearing!" Turns out, he made the necklace himself and has worn it continuously to this day. (It is permanently sewn on.) While we were dating, we spent a few months "crewing" on a sailboat and had lots of leisure time on our hands, so he taught me how to bead. I have always had a multitude of hobbies, and I was happy to learn another. We have really enjoyed beading together. Many of the pieces in my shop are joint creations. The cabochons entered into our designs because my boss has always been a gem and mineral fancier, and he has a huge collection of agate cabochons. I always thought they were so beautiful, and one day I found a book at the library called "Beading with Cabochons". It was meant to be.

5. Explain your favorite part of the creative process.

Beading is my down time, usually done while watching a movie, so I pretty much enjoy every part of it. I love selecting a yummy cabochon and trying to find the best bead colors to bring out the natural beauty of the stone. The stones have such depth and detail to them. I also love looking through all of my seed bead supply and coming up with fun new bracelet combinations. And of course, a trip to the bead store to add even MORE colors to my palette is always exciting.

6. Do you sell in another Etsy store or anywhere outside of Etsy? If so, where?Currently, BeagleBeads is my only venue.

7. So far, what project are you most proud of?

I just finished a necklace that I think is one of my new favorites. The colors just all worked together so well. Maybe it's just because I've got spring fever. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=23325942

I've also been really happy with the Red, White and Blue bracelets. They just look yummy enough to eat. My husband says he thinks they are some of my best work yet. :) I figure any piece of jewelry that gets the male approval must be alright.

http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=21264169

8. What advice can you give to someone who would like to learn your craft?

I love crafts, especially ones that are easily portable and accessible to learn. I live in a very small space on limited resources, so beading is a perfect, low-tech, small scale craft. I am very much a book learner, and there are many good books on beading. My advice to someone wanting to learn beading would be to get a few beads, a few books, and have fun! You can build up your supplies as you go and as you find out what types of beading you're interested in. Learn a few basic techniques, and then strike out on your own.

9. What motivated you to join the Etsy Beagle Street Team?

I had been on Etsy for about a year before I realized there was such a vibrant community right under my nose! I was searching through the list of team names, and as soon as I saw the Beagles Team, I knew I had to be a member. Three years ago my husband and I went to the pound to find a dog, and my husband was immediately drawn to this little beagle (currently known as Wilson) sitting morosely in his cage. All the other dogs were barking and jumping and saying "Pick me! Pick me!", but Wilson looked like he had lost all hope. He had reason to be despondent as this was his second time in jail. He was originally picked up as a stray, adopted, and then returned to the pound a month later by his new family because "he was too depressed". Well, their loss is our gain. Wilson has been the perfect dog from day one, and we couldn't imagine life without him. Shortly after adopting him, we found out he suffers from periodic seizures, which is probably why he was taken back to the pound. That is certainly not reason for us to want to get rid of him. We are happy to be able to provide a safe haven for him, and I'm doubly happy to report that he is going on 2 months seizure free! About a month ago we adopted a second hound dog (what were we thinking!) named Lily, and she is proving to be a real sweetheart. I don't have a photo of Lily and Wilson together yet, but this interview has a photo of Wilson.

10. Any other places we might find you (Flickr, blog, MySpace, etc.)?

My husband and I are "homesteading" on a small farm in rural Virginia. We chronicle our goofy adventures on our website:

Team Spotlight! Interview with CiaoHound

This week I am happy to introduce CiaoHound, Flash's favorite Etsy shop! He loves these dog treats! :0)

1. When did you open your Etsy store and begin selling?
I opened my Etsy store in July of last year and set up shop by the end of August.

2. How did you select your shop’s name?
For over a week, I thought about every possible word to describe food and dogs, then one day, I was sitting there, absentmindedly, watching Velvet inhale her dinner and thought "you are such a chow hound!" A lightbulb went off. I told my daughters and they groaned. So, I thought a little while longer and came up with a little twist on words: ciao instead of chow; they didn't hate it, so I took that as a good sign and went with that.

3. What do you create and sell in your Etsy shop?
My main items are dog treats and kibble toppers. I also try to elaborate on allergen-free treats for dogs with special dietary needs.

4. How did you become involved in your craft?
My oldest daughter was an avid Etsy shopper and she told my youngest daughter, who then opened a shop on Etsy. During the summer break, she wanted everyone in the family to make a craft for her to add to her store, so I started researching hobbies. One book lead to another until I stumbled on a book for dog items. I was very excited about trying to bake treats and Velvet just loved them! She sat in front of the refrigerator for hours; it really just warmed my heart. Then, I got to thinking that Velvet wasn't the best judge of food because she'll eat anything, organic or not, so I baked some for my boss' dog and for my dad's. Neither dog cared anything for food. They barely eat their meals. After adding some of my kibble toppers (Crumbrulee), both dogs picked out my food and ate that first, then proceeded to eat their regular food. I felt that was a true testiment and went "public" with my treats. I love doing this and I love the stories I receive from my customers.

5. Explain your favorite part of the creative process.
I just love when a food idea comes to me out of the blue. One customer was saying that her dog can only eat carbs and meats - no grains. That night we had turkey and mashed potatoes and I was playing with my food and mushed the two together and thought of the potato cakes. Things like that - coming up with unique items keeps it fun.

6. Do you sell in another Etsy store or anywhere outside of Etsy? If so, where?
I help run PetsJubilee on Etsy and have a blast with that, as well. We all work very hard to get our shop names out there and our customers love the sample boxes! We're coming together as a team which is very rewarding.

7. So far, what project are you most proud of?
I think these are my favorite:
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=18574916
They're 'cute' and I like the "Carob Cake" instead of 'carrot cake' play on words.

8. What advice can you give to someone who would like to learn your craft?Research, research, research! For every food item that you find that dogs can or cannot have, verify it with multiple sources! I see many shops selling treats with "inappropriate" ingredients. The shop owners clearly do not do the background research necessary before starting something like this.

9. What motivated you to join the Etsy Beagle Street Team?
When I signed up with Etsy, I looked for teams centered around animals, and when I saw this team, I just knew it was perfect because, I have a beagle! Velvet is the most unusual dog I have ever had. She doesn't like to be petted, hugged, kissed on; we can only play with her when its her idea. She thinks, lives, breathes food 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It is the only thing she cares about, but I love her to pieces, and once in a great while, she decides to snuggle up to me while I watch tv, and it is perfect. As much as I joke around about her, she really is a good dog.

10. Any other places we might find you (Flickr, blog, MySpace, etc.)?
I try to be everywhere:
