Neat Art



For the second installment of the coolest Etsy shops, I have The Nightjar.

This shop features a lot of really neat hand painted items, but my favorite thing out of all of them is this felted cat head.

So cute!
I really recommend you take a look through this shop, even if just to admire the amazing art.

Cute Plush Shop


Everyday this week I am planning on highlighting a new Etsy stop. Today is Pretty Little Fings!

"Hello and welcome to the Pretty Little Fings store! What started off as Christmas presents for my family and friends has snowballed into a full fledged one woman hand-crafting operation. Every Fing is made with love in a pet (Boston Terrier & a Cat) friendly household and is one-of-a-kind.
please feel free to convo me with any questions or inquiries about a custom made plush. i'd love to work with you!"

They also have a blog!

Resin Casting and..stuff.



I will cast almost anything in resin for you. Some ideas are flower petals from your wedding, butterfly wings, Keepsakes, lock of hair, dog tags, pictures, etc.

Here's how it will work: If you are interested you should send me an email here on Etsy or at caitieb9 [!at] yahoo.com. I will then give you my address and you will be able to send me the item you want cast in resin along with your specific instructions (What kid of mold, how you picture it looking, etc.) I will charge based on how many items you want made. for example if you want 5 pendents made I will charge about 25 dollars, but if you only want one I will charge about 10 dollars. (Ask in first email).

When the item is done and dried I will create a custom listing for you here on Etsy for you to buy.

Also, if you want me to turn the item into a necklace, bracelet, etc. after it is done I will do so for just a bit more! Please specify in email.

From my etsy:
Do you have old pictures of relatives that have stains of creases? a picture of your kid that he/she decided to use as a canvas? I will photo shop almost any picture of yours for a lot cheaper than almost anyone else. As a photographer, I work with photo shop everyday and enjoy doing it. So let me fix your priceless pictures!

Here's how it works, Send me an email (on here or caitieb9 [!at] yahoo.com) and say you are interested in this service. Then, Send me your picture (in as big of a size as you can get it. You can send it to me by emailing it to my caitieb9 [!at] yahoo.com or uploading it to a website and sending me the link. I will then fix it up for you and send you a sample of the image to make sure you are satisfied. When you are, I will create a custom listing on Etsy for you and once I have received payment, I will email you the image.

I will charge 8.50 USD an hour and most jobs will only last an hour or two (Depending on severity of damage.)
