My name is Jodie Henry and my Etsy shop is http://jhenrydesigns.etsy.com. I create soldered jewelry (and other sorts) and am having a blast. I am a graphic designer by trade and have been for almost 15 years. After being laid off in Jan 09 (4th time in 10 years) I've decided to go the freelance route...and also start doing what I LOVE! So I make jewelry with birds, butterflies...and um...scooters.

Shelley Rozen lives in the Tacoma area of Washington state. She has two Etsy shops:

 I like to think of myself as an artist, but find it impossible to do that full-time. I started making crafts as gifts for Christmas one year and then decided it was a great way to use my creative energy while I was between paintings. I try to use as many recycled materials as possible since I hate putting things in the trash. I never follow directions, so all of my items are designed by me without a pattern - this inevitably frustrates the ladies at the craft shows asking me how I made something.

I'm a professional screenprinter, and my tiny business, Blackbird Tees, is two and a half years old. I specialize in clean, simple prints, and primarily use a pointilism technique to create most of my designs. Everything is hand-illustrated and hand-printed the old fashioned way by yours truly.
My boyfriend and I are big dorks. We share a craft studio, a pint-sized boutique, and a cozy apartment in Seattle where we cook lots of good food, watch lots of bad movies, and tell lots of stupid jokes.

I am a Seattle based artist/designer/architect.
