Treasury Round Up

I've been featured in lovely treasuries lately!  Many thanks to the treasury makers!
(All treasuries and items within the treasuries are clickable.)

Deborah of Deborah Snow Designs featured my hand dyed pastel rainbow scrunchie in her sweet treasury Soft! 


Deborah has such a fun shop with art inspired by both the Mubuti tribe in Zaire and Aboriginal tribes.  The shapes and textures of her art reflect a primitive and tribal feel.  This hand stitched journal is an example. 












What a bright and cheerful this treasury is!  Rainbow madness, curated by Sam Donovan, an etsy buyer, featured my hand dyed bright rainbow cotton scrunchie.  Thanks, Sam! 




Janet of Honey from the Bee featured my hand dyed silk scarf "windy dreams" in her very fun treasury All American Mom

Janet creates lovely jewelry,  nature and travel being her inspirations.  This pretty bracelet is made with vintage mother of pearl beads, millefiore beads, and sterling silver.  It's even adjustable for different lengths!









This pretty treasury, April treasury #019 , is filled with lovely rainbow colors!   Rainbow Gerbera of Gerbera Handmade featured my hand dyed pastel rainbow silk scrunchie.  


Rainbow Gerbera's shop is filled with the most lovely  crocheted baby gifts, baby blankets, teething necklaces, and coasters.  Look at this beautiful set of 8 coasters in shades of blue and white!











Here's a bight and sunny treasury, A Touch of Sun, curated by Kaili of KAW! Studios.  She featured my hand dyed silk scarf Rainbow Extravaganza.
In Kaili's shop you can find original ACEO cards, illustrations, bookmarks, fine art and nature photography prints, personalized sketch books, and collectible one of a kind art gifts.  Right now Kaili is offering 20% off with the code SPRINGSALE!  I love the colors in this wonderful painting of a blue jay! 









Jenny of A Bird in the Hand Art featured my hand dyed silk scarf The Wood Between the Worlds in her treasury I Love My Mom with great gift ideas.


Jenny's shop is filled with her creative artwork such as painted wooden birds, clutches, boxes, necklaces, and more!  How cute is this bird?!









Kathy of tapestry316 curated this treasury Here kitty, kitty, kitty! for and about animal lovers.  This is an all Blogging Business Artisans treasury.  She featured my heart tie dye T shirt

Blogging Business Artisans

Recently, I participated in the creation of a new team on etsy--Blogging Business Artisans.  We are a creative group of artists, focused on business, and having fun along the way.  In a  PAST POST, I introduced you to the 6 charter members.  Here I will introduce you to 3 more members.  Come visit their shops and blogs!  

Linda Pruitt has 3 shops on etsy!

Her Pruitt Creations SHOP is filled with wonderful fabric items-- coasters, zipper pouches, decorations, aprons, quilts, coffee cozies, pillows, paper items and so much more!
  


Linda's Pruitt Design SHOP promises romance in jewelry and pillows!  She also has wonderful pouches and paper bag art like the ones here on the right.



In her Pruitt Supply SHOP, Linda carries fabrics, buttons, findings, and fun yo yos like the ones here.




Linda has 2 blogs!
On her Pruitt Handcrafts BLOG she shares lovely new hand made crafts, crafty ideas, and "occasionally, little stories about my grandchildren!"  HERE'S a post where she talks about using The Square.

Abigail's Attic is Linda's second BLOG.  Here's what she says:  "The reflections you will find here are all my own meditations, introspections, musings if you like, of the thoughts in my attic. Not stuffy or starched, I hope, but like finding a rare pair of vintage button-downs, dusting off the years and discovering the beauty hidden there. Enjoy your time with me, settling in for a delight or two, a story or three and I hope you will go away refreshed with new observations wanting more. "
Find a poem she wrote about Fall HERE. 


Jenny is the artist owner of A Bird in the Hand Art.

Jenny's SHOP features unique home decor items and jewelry pieces inspired by birds.  "I have a background in biology, specifically animal behavior, and I have been inspired by the beauty of various bird species."
