EART Team Blog Ring- How Did You Get Started?

This Thursday, the Eart Team blog ring asks- How did you get started doing your art/craft?

My mother has been doing stained glass for the better part of 10 years. She had actually invited me to take her first beginning stained glass class with her. I declined thinking that it was an 'old lady hobby'. She persevered and I was able to watch as she learned and created new pieces. Her work area at home kept growing from just the kitchen table to the unused dining room to the full working studio with room to teach classes that my husband and brother-in-law built out for her in her basement. To make a long story short, she bought the glass store in our area and I went to work for her after having my 2nd child. I still had yet to even touch art glass, but immediately fell in love with it and jumped right in (not literally, of course). I caught on very quickly being a fast learner and having the opportunity to work with it full time (and get paid as well!). We started stocking fusing supplies and introduced our community to that glass art technique. Unfortunately, we have since had to close the store (darn economy), but we both now have a full studio at home. I work out of my basement and have the means to work cold, warm, and hot glass (stained glass, fusing, and lampworking).

Scavenger Hunt- Tons of Prizes!!!

The Eclectic Artisans Team has a new team shop. Check it out! To celebrate our new shop and the beginning of the holiday season, we're having a scavenger hunt, and everyone is invited to participate!



Here's how to play: Visit the participating etsy shops (scroll down for the list of shops) and search their items for this photo:





When you find it, send the shop owner an etsy convo letting them know you found it. You can search and enter in each participating shop. You can only win once (we want to share the love as much as possible), but the more shops you enter, the more chances you have to be a winner! Each shop owner will randomly draw one winner at the end of the hunt. That's all you have to do.

The scavenger hunt runs from Friday, 11/13, 2009, to midnight EST on Friday, 11/20/09. Check the EART website on Monday, 11/23/09 to see the winners. Enjoy the hunt!

Eart Team Blog Ring- Holiday Sales/Deals

This Thursday, the Eart Team blog ring asks- Do you have any good sales/deals coming up for holiday shoppers?

Well, I ALWAYS offer Free Shipping in my Etsy shop. Who doesn't love seeing the word 'FREE'? And I know that I always love finding out I don't have to pay extra to get that super awesome thing I found online to me. As for any other special deals, I still trying to decide what to offer. What would you like to see? If you have a shop of your own, what deals do you offer around this time of year? I've thought of doing some kind of Buy One, Get One or a percentage off, but I'm kind of liking the idea of throwing in a free gift with purchase. Stay tuned to see what I decide!!!


Head on over to Diva Dea to see what deals she will have coming up:
