Show Your Colors! - September Esty Beadweavers Street Team Challenge, originally uploaded by Sand Fibers.
The Etsy Beadweaving Team has been hard at it this month working on pieces for the September challenge. The theme was ‘Show Your Colors!’ and these entries definitely did! You only have two days left to visit our blog to vote on your favorite piece.
Etsy Beadweavers Promotional Postcard, originally uploaded by ClinkscalesArts.
Here’s one side of a double-sided postcard I designed for the Etsy Beadweavers Street Team. The Etsy Labs asked for promo materials to add to swag bags to be distributed at a festival in October. This is our contribution.
I’ve been working on the photos for a promotional postcard for the Etsy Beadweavers team today, but it’s getting tedious, so I decided to take a break. I should be finishing up a wholesale order of crochet earrings, but I only need to do one more pair, and I don’t want to crochet.
So, I decided to not do anything I was supposed to do and to try out a little patchwork project that I’ve been tossing around in my head. I’ve been wanting some patchwork coasters for the living room, so I decided to make a pair today. I thought, “Those will be easy-peasy.” Well, they weren’t difficult in theory, but I didn’t do a very good job! I can tell I haven’t been sewing a lot lately. I am out of practice - big time! While my seams were fairly straight, my turning and pressing left something to be desired. I probably shouldn’t post the poor little things for the world to see, but what the hell, we’re all friends, right? 
Reversible Purse, originally uploaded by ClinkscalesArts.
This is one of the many things I’ve been working on lately. It’s a purse for my little sister. I really like the plain striped side the best. Plus, I used a mother of pearl button from our grandmother’s stash on that side. Hope you love your purse, Po!
