So last week I got the most crazy idea that I would compile a list of 100 artists @ Etsy and I immediately set to work.
I wanted to write a few words about the “why” & “how” of the affair, but I realized nobody would actually care, so to keep things simple let’s just say that I have discovered many great and talented artists through Etsy, and it is getting more and more difficult each day to browse through their shops since there is no way to tag or organize your favorites into categories on the site and I figured a “memo” or “post-it” article would be of great use, not just for me or for people already familiar with Etsy, but also for people who would like to discover new artists but do not have the time to extensively browse the internet or Etsy for that matter….
Japanese Flower Fabrics by Karaku Tokyo @ Etsy.
I cannot think right now of anything more exquisite in terms of color and pattern than Japanese fabrics. They always seem so perfect ! In a sense they are the epitome of “A thing of beauty…”.
And I cannot thing of a more exquisite shop than Karaku Tokyo @ Etsy. All her fabrics are simply gorgeous and beautiful. They have amazingly nice colors, not to mention the patterns which are all superb.
Besides the flower patterns, you will of course find geometric ones like this one :
And she also has a lot of Japanese Papers. I absolutely love that yellow one !
I discovered her through her Flickr. She lives in Tokyo, Japan where she is an interior designer. Her company website Karaku Tokyo is about Japanese home decoration.
Golden Yellow Gnome Hat by neuart @ Etsy.
Blythe dolls seem to have been made for hats & bonnets. They simply look great in them, obviously it has to do with that big face of them, and they might look funny or gorgeous but one thing is certain, Blythe fans will never be out of inspiration when it comes to creating something, anything, to put on those heads.
I know some great creators have their own shop, but on Etsy alone there are plenty of great shops so this is only a tiny selection of what’s to be found there. Starting with one of my very favorites, neuart (see photo above) who has always the most beautiful knitted stuff, be they hats or sets, ponchos… She also has a Flickr by the name of miss modular and you can see more of her creations in various files there.
And some more wonderful stuff :

“306″ by Mandy Lamb & Mikael Kennedy @ Etsy.
I had not browsed through Etsy’s Treasury for a long time although it is always a good way to discover new artists. This is how I stumbled upon Mandy Lamb in a treasury collected by thepairabirds.
The name of her Etsy shop is not Mandy Lamb however, but 1977 and at the moment there is only this book “306″ which contains 306 polaroid images by Mandy Lamb and Mikael Kennedy. It is a limited edition of 50 signed by both artists.
The photos, polaroids made with the now cult SX-70 Polaroid camera and expired films have that special quality you usually find associated with that magic combo. You can see more of her work on the sold section of her shop or on her website www.mandylamb.com.
