Wonderful Blog Post About The Handmade Artists Forum & Shop

Just thought I would post this lovely blog written by Dream Bubbles! Her comments are very kind! Take a peak at her blog!


New Store Front - Handmade Artists' Shop

A couple days ago I became a full member of the Handmade Artists' Forum which allowed me to set up as a vendor in the Handmade Artists' Shop. Now this may seem like a redundancy as I already have an etsy shop, however after some indepth research I've found several things that make HAF stand out. For starters they support ALL of US; whether you are a seller on Etsy, ArtFire, Zibbet, your own storefront, twitter, facebook or a blogger if you craft with your own talents on any level they support and love you for it. Secondly I don't know of any other format that has the experience and dedication behind it that HAF does, Andrew and Kimberly head up a team that provides round the clock support for all levels of their site. E.g. It's 4am and I just tried to create a new seller profile only to realize that I clicked the wrong link and created a buyer profile instead... emailed their admin page... fixed in MINUTES!

Love NaLa's work!

Jewelry by NaLa

The artistic/creative side of my brain is dominant, and I have the math skills to back me up on that! I’m just a natural born crafter. Jewelry making is not my first venture into the world of crafting, but it is definitely my favorite. I think my customers want their jewelry to make a unique statement about themselves and enhance their own personal sense of style. My jewelry is designed with that in mind. Aside from my ready made collection, I also love the challenge of creating jewelry specific to individual tastes, and I’ve been known to “tweak” existing pieces in my collection into custom ordered designs. All someone has to do is tell me what they have in mind, and I will work together with them to see if we can come up with exactly what they’re looking for. I love making people happy like that. Here are a few examples of my work. If you’d like to see more, please consider visiting my Etsy shop: http://jewerlybyNaLa.etsy.com
