I know, I never post. So I thought I’d throw out a quick update on what I’m doing right now, even though it’s past my bedtime and I’ve been plastering and folding all day. I’m going to open a second Etsy shop, since the only thing that really ‘fits’ my first shop is jewellery, […]
Hey guys! The Far Grove now has a Deviant Art page! I’ve been a Deviant Art member for three years, but TheFarGrove only joined up a week ago…and already the FG gallery has 18 submissions. It’s great to see my work all on one page like that…it reminds me of how many new things I’ve […]
I’d like to do a little more collaborative work…making jewellery (hairsticks and so on) using components made by other artists. I’ve done it before…David Christensen cane glass is available for purchase, even in bulk, and it’s beautiful stuff, and though expensive it is still affordable enough to use without having to raise your prices […]
There are several shops on Etsy that I am attached to by some means or other, and one of those shops is Merimask Designs. Merimask Designs…run by leather-worker Andrea Masse Tognetti…is having a special fundraiser right now that I want to mention.
Andrea’s daughter Charlotte is going to be going to Japan on an exchange program […]
I have the pictures of Hopeless Romantic for you all to see about two weeks in advance of when they’ll be going up on Etsy…I have to have them up before the 12th of February but don’t want to put them up too much in advance, lest they sell before they can be featured.
I also […]
‘More’ may be the wrong word, as I believe this pair of horn sticks will be the ONLY pair of horn sticks that I ever do. The sticks themselves are 9 inches long which while they CAN be worn attractively, is rather difficult. You have to wear them in a low position, or […]
I’m kind of happy with myself today. I wasn’t feeling like making hairsticks…I get tired of them once in a while…so I made a pair of ear-wraps and took a very old pansy I sewed together out of ribbon and turned THAT into an alligator-clip barrette. It’s a big thing, about 3.5 inches at it’s […]
I lucked out today…I managed to find more of the clear stacking containers I use to store my jewellery supplies. They had been out of stock for months. So I picked up 30 more of them and am going to get seriously organized, today. Want to see what I use? I […]
This blog isn’t just about the goings on in the Grove. No, it’s about living romantically, as though all your most attractive imaginings were just as likely to happen as your bi-yearly trip to the dentist. Selling was not what got me into Etsy…buying was. I loved the shopping experience so much […]
I do take custom orders. In fact, I kind of like them. If you wish to make one, here are some things you may wish to keep in mind. You may have no preference in some of the categories below…that is fine. Just make sure to include anything you really want […]
