In my on-going efforts to promote other independent artists, and especially the awesome folks over at Etsy.com, the Featured Artists Spotlight rolls on! Twice a week, I feature an Etsy shop owner who creates items that will make you cry, sing, dance, reach for your wallet or just make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
Sort of like my pal here is making you feel right now... :)
The feature article includes all sorts of insightful questions and it brings some well deserved attention to those artists who obviously put their passion into their work.
So, how does your shop end up being featured on this blog? Easy.... All you have to do is leave a comment here with a little blurb about why you would like to be featured along with the name of your Etsy Shop.
The other thing I ask is that you be willing to participate in a giveaway where you offer up something from your shop worth at least $10. Each week I draw a winning name from the readers who have viewed your spotlight article and left a comment about their favorite item in your shop! As I have many international readers, you would have to be willing to ship worldwide. Sound interesting??
Well, leave a comment and the name of your Etsy shop and check back often to see who is on their way to fame and fortune courtesy of Torchwood Studio!



Hello!
I really love your blog so I would be honored to receive a feature here.
My inspirations come from so many places and people. I love colors, the way they can be placed together in most uncommon ways, and enhanced by simple designs.
I make mostly earrings and necklaces but will be expanding into rings soon.
Visit either my etsy shop @ itsaljubica.etsy.com or my main web site @ www.itsaljubica.com
Thanks and much love!

I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to participate!!!
I can also do a give away of earrings or a bracelet. I would really love to be featured for a few different reasons: more exposure, a variety of different people checking out my store & blog, and to hopefully meet some new artists!
Thanks and I hope we can work together

I'd love to participate. I have a passion for making old things new and fun again. I could donate a slip, or a necklace, or really whatever. But I'd love to be a part of it!

Hi,
This is a great opportunity, thank you for offering. I would love for you to consider me. I don't think my work leaves people (other than myself) feeling warm and fuzzy...maybe more like scared and paranoid (lol). But if there is one thing I can guarantee is that I am passionate about my work. My web site is www.anabgalano.com and I have two shops on etsy (the one featuring my artwork is www.anamano.etsy.com)
Thanks again.
Ana

I would love to be featured on your website! I am very passionate about the jewelry I create and I think the work shows that dedication. I am working hard on spreading the word about my new collection, and it would be an amazing opportunity to have it showcased here. Hope you will consider me for your spot light!

I'd love for my shop of eclectic crochet to be featured! I offer Victorian-style lace doilies plus wacky giant ice cream cones, cute little cat toys and sweet Angel Cat plushies. There's even some pie! How's that for eclectic?

I'd love to see more of my scarves travelling the globe on interesting necks...
Mostly so I can make room to create new ones!

Hi there -
I would be interested in this. I would want to wait until I finish moving my site to a new domain, though. Should be done within the next few weeks. Great site!
Cheers
