Cleaner Science and Petri Dish Fun

These days I have been doing a lot of exploration within different groups and sites, which has been very inspirational, and has resulted in my discoveries of various talented craftsman.

To be honest, I am very excited to be part of such a creative community on etsy, and each day is a new adventure. On that note I thought I would bring forth a seller whose work I just fell in love with. It brought out the little nerd in me and shed a new light on what it means to be squeaky clean.

I present to you the Petri Dish Soaps!

These soaps come in all sorts of different colors and interesting textural patterns, not to mention a perfectly clean petri dish. If you have an appreciation for fun concept based products or you are looking for the perfect gift for an obsessively clean friend, then defiantly check this seller out.

3 New Reasons To Check Out Etsy

Etsy has been around for a long time and is the leader in unique handcrafted products. Is it passe? Has it past its prime? These are the two main questions everyone asks. I personally don't think that etsy is passe, I think the problem is that there are so many sellers, it is difficult to know where to start looking for the product that you want.

There are just too many beautiful things to choose from, so where do you start?

- search by topic eg. Organic

- search by colour

- Check out handpicked items

Here are three new reasons in my opinion to check out Etsy again:

- It is a great place to test market a new business that you want to set up—reasonable posting costs and monthly sales commission.

- Great way to find new talent and craftsman

- An alternative to generic products you find in malls and stores

There are also three new reasons to check out my etsy again, below is the reason why:

There are so many jewelry sellers on etsy now, who are all so talented but how do you choose a great piece that will be timeless—one that you can add to any wardrobe? This is something that I am concerned with when I invest in a beautiful piece of jewelry.

Here are a few key things that I look out for:

- I usually want something very distinctive and different, not necessarily one of a kind but unique

- I generally want something that generates conversation, even over coffee

- A piece that is well designed

- Something that does not rust and can easily be cleaned to return to its pristine state

What do you look out for?
