Time To Vote


Thank you again to our 2 participants this week in the Treasury Challenge, I really hope to start seeing more people joining in!  You can use the polls to the right to vote for one of the following fabulous treasuries to win this round...

I think we will take a short break from the Challenges for the next week or 2 and hopefully start it up again fresh with renewed interest from the team.  The winner from this round will still be the featured shop when we start it back up again and will surely be only a week or 2 away.

Time To Vote


Thank you to our 2 participants in the Treasury Challenge last week!  I really thought that it sounded like it would be a fun theme for everyone, since I am now using the random art prompt generator instead of the random word generator to choose the themes.

Please use the polls to your right to vote for one of these 2 lovely treasuries to win!

Time To Vote


Thank you to everyone who participated in last weeks Treasury Challenge, you all made beautiful and very interesting treasuries with that difficult theme!

Please use the polls to your right to vote for one of our finalists, if you are unsure of who to vote for why not go have another look at each of them below...

For those of you that like to get a head start thinking about their next Challenge Treasury, the theme for this Tuesday coming up will be "Something Long Forgotten" and remember that it can mean anything to you!  I should also mention that I am no longer using the random word generator for the challenge themes but rather the new random art prompt generator instead, I think it generates much more efficient themes for making Treasuries.  Don't you?  Remember not to make your Treasuries until the calendar officially reads Tuesday where ever you are in the world and be sure to stop by the blog post to find out who our featured shop will be and to link up your Treasury.  Have Fun!!!!

March Art Party



Welcome to our Etsian Artists monthly Art Party!


Don't be shy, come on in, everyone's invited!!!

Each month we give you a prompt generated from a Random Art Prompt Generator and everyone who wants to participate creates in their own medium their interpretation of the prompt.   (the art prompt generator changes every time it is clicked on, your prompt for this month is below)

It doesn't matter what your medium is, whether you do traditional art, jewelry, soap, clay, clothing or anything else that I haven't listed.  Absolutely anything and everything is welcome at our party!  

Blogging is probably easiest but it also doesn't matter whether you blog or not, you are welcome to add your creation anywhere on the net and then come back and add the link below. ex. Etsy, FB, Flickr, Photobucket and anywhere else I haven't listed.

We want to keep it loose to make it easy for everyone to participate!

This months prompt is: a bazaar

There are no restrictions, have fun with it and then come back and show us what you got!!!

The link up will open on March 1 and will close on March 31 at 11:59pm.  You are welcome to submit your creation at anytime while the link up is open.  If you submit yours early in the month try to remember to come back and check out all of the other creations at this party.
