Iris Design Book Print

02 Apr, 2010 by in etsy 6 comments

Today’s Photography Friday giveaway is Flickr and Etsy user Iris Design! In a nutshell: Iris O’Connor, born in Germany, moved to Ireland 22 years ago, now married to himself (Mr. O’Connor) & cat (Mouse).

I have always dabbled in a variety of artistic avenues but I think I can say that for the moment I have settled on mixed media.

Having said that, I am very busy looking where I’m going these days as I like to pick up flattened cans and bottlecaps and anything else that takes my fancy and goes under the term ‘recycled’
It gets cleaned and disinfected immediately when I get home!!!!
Same goes for sea glass and sea shells of course….all sea shells are inhabitant free 😉

I always have my camera on me when I go out, results can be seen on the blog I started with a friend: http://www.dublingutterart.blogspot.com/

And can I just say that whenever I use bookpages in my pieces these pages are from books I have rescued from a certain ‘bin’ death (I work part-time in a second hand bookshop!). No new books have been harmed in the process…

Hope you like my stuff and thank you for looking at it.

And thanks to the wonderful Bonzie you can see me in my place at work as they asked me to submit something about myself for the Storque feature:
http://www.etsy.com/storque/spotlight/shop-local-ireland-with-bonzie-3550/

the other shop I had before I opened under my own name:
http://www.irisdesign.etsy.com/
(if want to read additional feedback)

I am to be found here as well:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/irisdesign/
http://irisoconnor.blogspot.com/ (resurrected as we speak!)

Description
You will receive a print of the original ‘altered’ bookpage, taken from ‘Life and Finding of Dr Livingston’.

I found this book in the second-hand bookshop where I work, but I am not able to state exactly when it was printed. The only clue to its age is an inscription by the person it once belonged to dated 1901.

This is a limited edition (50 prints) print of my original illustrated bookpage and every print will be signed and numbered.

The size of the print is approx 9 x 7 inches (23.5 x 17.5 cm) on A4 paper with a white border around the image for easy framing.
Printed on Canon Satin 260gsm Photo Paper Plus with Canon archival inks.

It will be shipped in a protective clear sleeve and sturdy mailer.

The copyright resides with the artist – that’ll be me 🙂

PickleFacePlace Tie Giveaway

27 Mar, 2010 by in etsy, free stuff, pickle face place, ties 18 comments


Today’s Etsy shop feature is one of my amazing friends…PickleFacePlace!
“After scouring stores for cute boy things, and not finding what I wanted, I decided to start making my own ties out of the fabrics I loved! My little pickle now has enough ties to last the rest of his life, and I’m passing my obsession on to you!”

Welcome to the Grand Opening of PickleFace Place!
Created by a mother who knows, we offer these uniquely combined features that deal with the challenges you’ve faced in trying to find the perfect tie for your little guy!

1. THOUGHTFUL DESIGN
PickleFace Place ties are handmade with an adjustable Velcro closure for easy-on/easy-off. (A must, for wriggly, squiggly boys!) No clip-ons that droop, break, or fall off easily; no elastic that stretches out; and no full ties that can function as a cinch, posing a safety issue for busy, curious little boys.
2. MAJOR STYLE
PickleFace Place ties LOOK like full ties! Our straps are made from the same material as the tie itself, and each knot is tied perfectly for a tight, clean, crisp look. No more sloppy looking ties or re-tying after he wiggles himself out of it. These ties are made to stay put! We’re also always on the lookout for great new fabrics that will keep your boys looking dapper through all seasons and holidays!
3. EASY CARE
PickleFace Place ties are…….…wait for it……….wait for it………..WASHABLE!! Seriously. Because what little boy do you know that actually keeps his clothes clean? Unlike other ties that use felt inserts, we use Pellon fleece, which is machine washable and won’t shrink. We thought you’d like that.
4. HIGHER STANDARD
PickleFace Place offers FIVE standard sizes, offering a better fit for all your growing boy’s needs.

Girl Eats Cupcake Pouches

23 Mar, 2010 by in etsy, pouches 20 comments




Today’s Chile relief giveaway is for one of four handmade pouches from Etsy seller GirlEatsCupcake! Hello there! I’m Kelsey.

My first encounter with sewing was back in middle school. After mama taught me how to use her old machine, my aunt helped me with my first project- a blanket which I still use today!
I slowly started sewing again in high school making book bags and the likes, and I’ve been at it ever since.

Aside from sewing, I love to read and bake, as well as paint and draw when I can find the time.

I love to put smiles on faces, and I hope my shop does that for you!

Find me at these other places!

Book Purse Giveaway

16 Mar, 2010 by in etsy, purse, recycled books 41 comments

Today’s giveaway is from BusyBeehive!
Hello and welcome to my little eclectic shop. My interests are wildly varied. I started as a stained glass artist, and quickly became addicted to fabric. I love creating art quilts and being able to incorporate different textures and fibers.I am always up to designing custom wall hangings, maybe your pet or hot rod car. I will do just about anything to keep my customers happy.I love using different textures, fibers and mediums. The most unusual material I use is Dryer Lint. Have’nt you always wanted to do something with all that fiber? I love to recycle when ever I can and use old items in my projects. As they say “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.”

Description
This unique purse is for the ultimate book lover or for someone wanting to make a fashion statement.Dare to be different. Great as a conversation piece.The book title is Breathing Lesson by Anne Tyler There is enough room for credit cards, lipstick and a few more smaller items and you are ready to go out on the town. This book purse measures approx. 5 3/4″ X 8 1/2 “, the interior’s fabric is beautiful Sunflowers.There is also a slim pocket. The closure is Glass, Acrylic and Metal beads.The handles are brown shiney patent leather. The books cover was in good condition but the pages were not. So I dont feel bad about taking the book apart and recycling it. This is so much better than ending up at the dump. Please treat this purse the same way you would treat a book.
