Today I am off to shoot Black-Eyed Suzie’s magical dollmaking shop. I’m in for a treat, face painting, wigmaking and perhaps some finishing touches on a Victorian beauty. Stay tuned for the Etsy Handmade Portrait of this talented dollmaker and her evocative creations… Check out Black-Eyed Suzie’s blog here!
I just got back from a super fun shoot in Philly with the kids behind Something’s Hiding In Here for the new Etsy home decor video series There’s No Place Like Here. Shauna Alterio & Stephen Loidolt were two of the most productive, inspired and lovely people I’ve met. Here’s a link to a Sneak Peek post about their fabulous loft on Design Sponge. Keep your eyes peeled for the series launch of There’s No Place Like Here in February on Etsy.
It’s been an exciting year for the video team at Etsy. We picked a few selects from our different series Handmade Video Portraits, Process Videos and How-Tuesday Videos to highlight some of the sellers who we collaborated with in 2008. See our free iTunes podcast for all our videos. Find the other playlists here on Etsy’s blog.
Wow what a fantastic line up! Mike Fellows aka Mighty Flashlight, Steve Gunn (of GHQ), Psychic Ills and Endless Boogie. Yeah! Good times.
Here’s an excellent John Martyn tune sent to me by my pal Keith NNCK. Rumor has it John Martyn‘s health has improved and will be coming back to the States to play some shows in the spring. This time around we are not going to miss him!
