Another Introduction!

Hi, my name is Cindy and I just recently opened up Fishy-Fishy: www.fishyfishy.etsy.com

Within a few days of joining Etsy, I stumbled across a 'Mile High Etsy' treasury and was so excited to see that there were some great Colorado Etsy people!

I live in Denver, work as an architect, and have always spent the majority of my free time painting, drawing and 'making stuff'. This is the first time I've ever tried to sell anything that I've made, so I'm eager to see how it goes. So far, Fishy-Fishy is serving as my outlet for making some pretty random items; jewelry, magnets, cards, screen-printing, small fabric bags and some stuffed animals.

I love that Mile High Etsy seems to be a great supportive community of wonderful crafters and artists!

About Blue Sky Pottery

Hi everyone,

Thanks for inviting me to join your group. My name is Deb Babcock and I live in Steamboat Springs. Since my mother-in-law lives in the Denver area, my husband (Dave) and I come down for a visit about once a month, so hopefully I can time those visits with the EtsyDenver meetings.

My pottery studio doubles as a small gallery where I can also sell my work to locals and visitors to our town. It's located across from the Safeway store here, not too far from the ski mountain.

The pottery I make is mostly wheel-thrown or hand-built out of porcelain clay; mostly functional items such as cups, bowls, teapots, platters, baking dishes, etc. If you get a chance, check out my etsy shop: dbabcock.etsy.com

My educational background is in marketing; I owned a marketing firm in Michigan before I sold it and moved here in 2000. My art background consists of classes at the local college as well as summer workshops at places such as Anderson Ranch in Snowmass and Laloba Clay Ranch here in Steamboat.

If you're ever in this part of the state, I hope you'll give me a call and stop into my studio for a cup of tea during your visit.

Let me introduce myself

Hi my name is Nicole and I am the designer and owner of She's Crafty, handmade earrings and accessories. A little bit about myself: I am from Denver but grew up in WA state, I am now back in Denver and when I am not making earrings I am usually at school working to get certified as an elementary school teacher. I am one term off from student teaching, so I see the light at the end of the tunnel. I love making fun and funky earrings and accessories and I will rarely make two pairs the same. I like the idea of selling one of a kind pieces, and knowing that the buyer is the only one with that pair out there.

The journey has begun. Join us!

It's an exciting time here at EtsyDenver. The street team is getting off the ground, the daffodils are in bloom on the Front Range, and craft fair/show season is just around the corner.

Several things are now in the works. Etsy is revamping its street team resource pages, and Kismet Designs is busy working on getting our very first mission statement together. I have been working the forums and blogspot to get some more visibility, and I've emailed Matt over at Etsy to see how we can get "official" recognition. Cindy is busily working away on our first set of promotional postcards - our compromise to stuffing 80 gazillion business cards into an unsuspecting buyer's packaging. We can use the same cards to post at libraries, coffee shops, and anywhere else that will permit us to tack our goods on their board. Nicole is accepting promos for her slot at this year's Ballpark Market. And we're all looking into different neighborhood farmer's markets, craft fairs, local events, etc. that we can share a booth at.

If you're a Colorado-based Etsian, we'd love for you to join our team. Contact myself through my Etsy store, or just post a comment here for more information.

Happy Spring Day in Colorado!
Angelina

Another Introduction...

Hello everyone! My name is Cynthia and I had the good fortune to meet the owners of Kastroll Kreations, Kismet Designs and Carla Sonheim in person this past weekend. What do we have in common you may ask? All of us reside in the state of Colorado, we are all artists and we share a love of selling our work on Etsy - the place for all handmade arts and crafts by people all over the world.

I am the Jill of all arts and crafts, but my main focus is clay. I make wheel thrown and hand built functional pottery, porcelain jewelry and occasionally, I'll throw in artwork in another medium if it suits my fancy. Visit my blog to see what I am up to during the week or better yet, visit my Etsy Shop.

I am thrilled to be a part of Etsy Denver and as a group we hope to use this blog to announce group and individual shows, events, and sales throughout the year. Please take the time to visit our links in the sidebar.
