Special thanks to the Admins for letting us have this forum.

I'll start.

I'm a metalsmith and I make jewelry. I work in silver and copper, and love pretty stones and gems.

My shop on Etsy is Bowers Studio . I have maybe another dozen or so items to add in the next couple of weeks, so be sure to check back.

BF Planet folks can get a 10% discount by using coupon code BFP2010, and shipping is free to the US and Canada through the end of the year.

I'd like to point out one special line - abstract stamped cuffs. They can be stamped with most anything in either lower or upper case. For the Queer Etsy Team fundraiser shop (which benefits the Trevor Project), I stamped one with 'queer' linkyloo . Other fun messages could include 'butch' or 'femme'. Each one is made to order.

Thank you for the compliment, and you're welcome for the thread. Please don't be reluctant about requesting a deposit, I don't know any artists who do commission work without one.

Do you have some examples of your portraits - especially pets - that you can share?

*bumping for the Tuesday crowd*

Wow...these are beautiful!

Another talented member! (My artistic skills end just past stick figures)

Kats....if we sent you pictures of all of our 4 kitties, could you put them into one portrait?

I know we couldn't take a pic of them that way (cuz the princess is still not on speaking terms with the babies)... and what do you normally charge?

Great thread! Great idea!

This made me giggle. I appreciate folks who make me giggle.

Thanks, too, for the beautiful :cheer:

Subtle baby :giggle:

Just cuz I'm helpful....I like...

Designer Cut Sugilite Stackable Cuff in Sterling Silver
and
Garnet Sterling Silver Stackable Ring Size 7.5 (except I'd need an 8)
and
White Buffalo Pendant No. 1 in Sterling Silver

:kissy:

ooooo....those "and"s should be "or"

Those "ands" are just fine :giggle:

The Sugilite stone is dreamy. It's quality stone that I get from a top-notch lapidary buddy up in Oregon. I have a stash of it that I'm keeping for myself :heartbeat:

That garnet ring measures at a 7.5, but it's a skinny band so it would probably fit a slightly larger finger, too (like my size 8 finger). Just sayin.....:winky:

*bumpity bump bump*

Thank you :rose:

That's a fun pendant; sadly, it is gone. The Flickr pics include stuff that's sold and stuff that I made for myself; the other link to the Etsy store is what I have available right now, plus there's another dozen or so pieces on my workbench that will be done soon. Everything I make (except those noted as having copper parts) is constructed of sterling silver and fine silver; I never use plated :-)

Yeah, don't make us come find you!!!

Because Thursdays can suck, I'm having a one day sale - everything in the shop is 10% off until midnight. Don't forget about the BFP2010 discount code for another 10% off the sale price - just 'cause y'all are so special. Linkyloo

Hope I am posting in the right place
 

I have a shop www.Tortuga-Trading.com

I have some really cool hand made soaps, candles and air fresheners. Also, I currently have the worlds only Gay Hot Sauce!

The website is fairly new and more stuff is being added every day.

Would love feedback on the site and products!

My page! I create a ton of stuff.
Cards, invitations.
Tu tu's, headbands, ponytail holders.
Charm jars.
Jewlery.

I do custom orders also!

There is indeed a discount this year. Thank you for the reminder :cheer: Use coupon code BFP2011 for 10% off at My Shop on Etsy

I offer free shipping to the US and Canada for the holiday season, and have a bunch of stuff clearance priced.

I have a pile of jewelry that still needs photos and listings; hopefully they will be done by Friday.

I have no idea about how to shop~~ with or without the BFP codes. I am familiar with ETSY , and don't do Facebook. Have Paypal..

I went to your site and I want this.

Pattern Wire Ring in Sterling Silver Size 6.

Please advise.

Thanks, Tommi!! I sent you a PM.

I've also been going through Mister's closets, cleaning out some really swell coats and hats that don't fit. Most of the items look like new, some have barely even been worn. Ebay linkyloo

Thank you, Tommi :pile:


I went home to see my folks for a few days, and Mom and I spent an afternoon at a big Xmas show. Despite 90% of the stuff being mass produced (and 90% of that being gawdy or junky), we managed to fill the trunk of the car with only stuff that was handmade or from local small businesses. That felt great :)

Tis the season to be buying :)
Looking forward to your new pics and listings.

Awe, thank you, Arwen :givingarose:
