So today was my first time on the Etsy chat room, and I discovered some really great work by other sellers. As a result I feel inclined on sharing some of these pieces with you.
I defiantly recommend checking out these sellers work.

The Eco Business Card
If you think about it, the business cards that we handout on a daily basis is highly damaging to the environment. They are usually made out of paper and have chemicals on it from the printing, which is hard to break down.
The solution! up-cycling old cigarette packs, napkins, and paper cartons.
I just love this solution, it makes use of scrap papers and card that would otherwise be thrown into the trash or recycling.

Peach Floret Earrings
I just added a new item in my store. A pair of beautiful 'Peach Floret Earrings', perfect for the coming of autumn.
There are three intricately cut flowers, arranged into a floating circle that is then hung from fine silver wire. It will blend seamlessly into the tones found in the falling leaves.
Aisha On The Cover Of Times
The August 9th issue of Times magazine shocked me to my core. Featured was a picture of a young 18 yrs old girl, Aisha, whose nose and ears were cut off by her husband at the request of the Taliban.
My first thought in seeing this photo was how stunningly beautiful she is, even without her nose and ears. I originally tweeted about it on August 22nd, but I strongly feel that her story needs to be heard. However it is incredibly important to point out that even after everything that has happened, you can see how strong and beautiful she is.
The photographer who shot Aisha, is Jodi Bieber, attached is a video of Bieber talking about her approach in making the photograph.

Upside Down
Today I was introduced to this new artist, Paloma Faith. I find that she is a mix of Amy winehouse, Duffy and funnily enough the lead actress Billie Piper in 'The secret diaries of a call girl'. Don't you all agree?
I have to admit I am particularly in love with this video, I love the artistic creation behind it, with the fun pink, blue balloons and incorporation of the white, pink umbrellas. Definitely google her other videos.
Sticks And Bricks—Mia And Oliver
Here are some fun and creative installations/prints by artist Mia Cabana and photographer Oliver Scott Snure.
These pretty little pieces were made by cutting out the silhouettes and illustrations found in books, which were then manipulated and positioned to interact with various different objects.
The above prints taken by Oliver of these lovely little pieces are also on sale for $24. Don't forget to check them out.
