Holiday Shopping? Shop Local, Shop BF Planet
It's holiday shopping season!!!!!
When looking for :present: , please consider the fine artisans here on the Planet. If you have shop, please list it here. If you are looking for something, please post it here. Let's spread our :greendollar: within our community. Holidays: Hanukkah - Dec 1-9 Solstice - Dec 21 Kwanzaa - Dec 26 Christmas - Dec 25 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. |
Your jewelry is amazing and you are a wonderful artist!!!!
As for me, yes I would love customers. I do portraits of people and pets of all kinds. It can be done in watercolor, colored pencil (a much misunderstood medium) and drawing pencils. I use quality media always. For a commission I require 50% down payment and the balance due at the time the customer receives their product. I require a down payment reluctantly but I did two commissions and the potential buyer never paid for their paintings which I still have. So yes, I would love some commissions! Ms Demeanor, this is a great idea and thank you for posting it. |
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? |
I have a few on the blog listed in my signature. I have many more on my Facebook page. If you are interested in seeing them just let me know about Friending you on FB via PM.
I must say doing cat portraits are a specialty and a great love of mine. :) |

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? |

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" |

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*

Great idea. I have a bracelet that I commmissioned from Bowers Jewelry. Can't say enough good things about the quality of the work. Truly one of my favorite pieces.
If you want to give the gift of insight, you can always purchase a reading with me for your friends and family! PM me if you have questions. |

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

I've changed the prices on my pendents, so they are 33% less that what I usually make them for.

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. |

Can I just give MsDemeanor a shout out? Many of you complimented me on a silver cuff bracelet with at striking black and white stone. It came from her shop. She does amazing work and quality! |
Awe, thank you, Arwen :givingarose:
