    Featuring artists + Giveaway


    I´ve been thinking about create a new interview/article featuring handmade artists for a while.
    I´ve created a blog, Beta sem Marca (Brandless Berta) for featuring portuguese crafters, and when I was featured at Annuk blog I thought a good way of thanking her back was to make a post about her.
    Terra Quente


    I already had post a question about this series on my facebook page, but the answers were only for, from the same two people, my colleagues from EASL team on Etsy, Rose Meister and Renee McMeeken. Thank you girls for your support.
    Reino já cheguei
    But I did not gave up.
    I decided to contact the people that I wanted to feature, and then I started to receive positive feedback.
    Vangloria
    To lessons learned:
    1. Never give up;
    1. If the things you want don´t come to you you must go after them.
    So on the first wednesday of every month you will be able to read here a post about those artists, and on the second week, the post about Portuguese artists, from my other blog.
    So if you like this idea, please share with your friends.

    Giveaway on Facebook

    And for those who like my page, on Facebook, I will be doing a giveaway when I reach the 400 fans, so share my Facebook post about the giveaway for your friends and fans can participate.
    I will use Random to get the winner.
    You just need to like my page on Facebook and share the post about the giveaway on Facebook.

    Obrigada

    Lime green Cuff with aluminum

    Available at my Etsy Shop

    I made this acrylic cuff, Plexiglass and aluminum, from scratch, by hand, with no mold.


    This is one of a kind comfortable piece of experimental jewelry, a minimalist design for a modern gal.



    The acrylic sheet is saw, sanded and polished by my own hands, and that´s make it a singular handmade piece. The process is log and hard, but rewarding, to see hat I can create from a piece os plexiglass.



    This particular cuff is embellished with hand cut acrylic swirl/curve, that flows with the movement of the bracelet.
