factorygirlashli : Feature + Giveaway

Pink items in her shop are raising money for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. For every item sold, she donates $1 to help the fight.

In her own words-

" My name is Ashli. I am the "factory girl" in factorygirlashli. I chose my name because my philosophy in life has been influenced a ridiculous amount by the pop artist Andy Warhol. We share a love for McDonalds and common things and love to see the beauty in everything and everyone. However, he was more of a philosophical guide than an artistic one. My style of work is nothing like Warhol's. I have a more vintage, rustic, whimsical feel. I love working with antiqued brass, glass beads, czech flowers, and chiffon. My favorite things to create are necklaces, greeting cards, and hair blossoms. I like to help everyone see the beauty in themselves and feel beautiful when they are wearing something special and unique from The Factory."

HangingHeads

Let's introduce you to Hanging Heads - an incredibly unique and colorful new shop on etsy.

In their own words-
"

I began making sugar skulls about three years ago to give to family and friends and to sell at craft fairs. Having lived my entire life in the American Southwest, i find a lot of inspiration in American Indian beading and weaving designs, and from the color and flamboyance of the Mexican-Chicano culture out of which sugar skulls (also known as calaveras) are based. I decided to open my very own etsy shop after hearing from other sellers about how fun the atmosphere is. I've not been disappointed! Currently my shop only carries sugar skull ornaments, but i'm working on a line of skull-and-crossbones ornaments, shrunken head ornaments, and sugar skull accessories. my skulls are all one-of-a-kind and i never use a pattern or the same design twice. My skulls make great gifts, party favors, ornaments (of course), gifts for hosts, halloween handouts, or keychains.

I adore bringing into being the quirky and the curious, be it through yarn, charcoal, felt, clay, or any other medium i can get my little paws on. My creations tend to reflect the color and imagination i encounter in daily life, as well as in my own head. "

It's From Arizona: Feature + Giveaway

Another fun shop feature and giveaway coming up for you. When i came across It's From Arizona i was taken aback by their delicious-looking, scrumptious bath and body products. But, roaming through their aisles, i was introduced to a whole new world of gorgeous accessories and pieces. So first, let's hear what Monica, the woman behind this lovely shop has to say

" My name is Monica, and I've been working with hemp since I was little. My mom would buy me the kits from Walmart with just enough materials to create a 1 necklace. I would craft them on long road trips and when I was looking for something to do around the house. I have another job at our local Aeropostale clothing store, where I came up with the idea to upcycle leather belts. They go on clearance, brand new, for like $1.35 so I couldn't help but buy them all. Now I'm cutting them up and stitching them with hemp to make really cute bracelet cuffs. I recently began working with soap and learning ALL about hand crafting bath and body products. It's so fun, and I can't stop! I've lived in Arizona practically all my life. My city is the hottest city in the country, and I've experienced first hand all the beauty and secrets of the desert. It truly is an amazing place...so that struck the theme of my shop, It's From Arizona. There you will find all the things that I love crafting - from hemp and leather jewelry, to soap. "

Now, for a quick tour of her shop. Let's start with my fav.- the Soap and Body Product  section.

   

I bet you are already drooling. Now, off to the hemp pieces.

or some hemp goodness for your canine mate......

And last, but not the least is the funky yet chic Leather upcycled cuffs in various designs.
