No new Etsy Space, again...

I still need some new studio spaces to feature. So, if you'd like to be featured, please send me a convo or e-mail. :)

I will also be combing the web, looking for new spaces to feature.

No new space

No new Etsy Space this week. I need new spaces. If you'd like to be featured, please send me a convo.

If you've been in contact with me before, but you haven't been featured, yet, please let me know. I am probably waiting for either pictures or a description. :)

Thanks, everyone.

Featured space #10 - She Sews By The Seashore

Naomi from She Sews By The Seashore says.

I am a seamstress and have been for the past two years. Those two years have gone by so quickly, but it feels like I've been doing this forever. It feels so natural to sit down and sew. I spend my time in my studio dreaming up new things to make; sorting my fabric and patterns; looking around Etsy for things I want to buy; talking to fellow artists; and of course sewing. Sometimes I'll just sit with a few scraps of fabric and just start cutting and see what I come up with. Sometimes it is a terrible disaster; other times the outcome is better then I expected. My studio is for me, a place of quiet and relaxation. I don't see my sewing as work; instead, I find it great fun to do. The money is just an added bonus. I find that I am much more handy with a sewing machine, or just needle and thread then I am with a brush, pencil or even words.

Featured space #9 - panyi zsuzsi

Zsuzsi says...

Panyizsuzsi is a family business creating modern glass jewelries for trendy woman. The glass items are designed by Zsuzsi Panyi a Hungarian architect. We asked her about their studio space.





Our studio is located in our house and it is under constant reorganizing. The former study/office space opens from the living room. The metamorphose of the space takes time as our business develops. First we started to use the desk in the room for cutting glass and we temporary had our grinder there. We also store our smaller glass sheets there in an old disk holder that perfectly suits our needs. The smaller pieces are in a long wooden box, arranged by their tones and the really tiny ones are in a little cigar box. The glass cutter is stored in an orange, vintage little vase. The memory board is under construction, but the wall above the desk is decorated! There are some pictures, a retro vintage lamp front of it and a lovely clock from the eighties!



We have a wall to wall and almost floor to ceiling plain white bookshelf for the paperwork, books and ready to sell items. The back of the room is decorated with a child size mannequin that we use for our craft fairs. Marcel Breuer’s – nb. He was Hungarian - chair is just one of my uncountable on-line auction findings. The gorgeous vase was recently moved because of the little lady right next to it!



Now, that our kiln just arrived we do plan to separate glass and office work from each other. We will have a kind of glass bench, for cutting, grinding and the kiln to leave the desk for the tidy work!We will be happy to tell about it when it is ready.
