Hena Tayeb Photography

Check out the unique photography in this Etsy shop . I asked Hena to tell about herself : ''My name is Hena Tayeb and the shop's name is Hena Tayeb Photography.As for inspiration, it is in everything and everywhere. I like to find beauty in everything around me, find something extraordinary in even the most ordinary. That is one of the reason I like to shoot abstract and macro photographs because usually the beauty lies in the details. Things other may overlook. Hands have been another fascination of mine and most of the hand photographs were taken a few years ago, I haven't taken many lately.

Robin Thompson TX

This is a new Etsy shop that I found . I fell in love with her picture frames . I know you will to . ----I ask Robin Thompson to tell us about herself . The following is the result :" I am a Texas girl. Born and raised here. I'm originally from Lubbock but am now in the Dallas area.
I make photo frames, Christmas ornaments, and greeting cards. Many of them use my photography, as photography is my biggest love! The greeting cards aren't on etsy yet, but they will be!
I've done photography since I was a teenager. It then turned into making my children my models which grew into being the "photo mom" at every sporting event! Four years ago, when we moved into our tiny rural town, the photography bug exploded.To get home, I drive through four ranches of longhorns, there is a pond and trees and cattle behind my house, old town feel and I have spent so much time capturing the small town in Texas feel.I first incorporated the country photos into greeting cards. After making picture frames for friends and the "want" for them grew, I decided to do it on a bigger scale. I'm hoping to use the crafty side and the photography sides together to make incredibly unique items.
I have spent the last 15 years owning a mobile DJ company and being one of the few female DJs in the DFW area. As my children get bigger and more involved in their lives, I have the desire to be home with them more, supporting them and enjoying them. I slowed down DJing people's weddings and decided to focus on the life around me! " Robin has not had a sale on Etsy , yet , but I am sure that will be remedied soon !You can visit Robin's Etsy shop by clicking on the link in the title of this article and visit her blog http://robinthompson.blogspot.com/

Organic Stills

The following is an interview with the very talented owner of Organicstills.etsy ::
What is your name? Natalie Richards
What craft/art doyou make/create? My primary focus is photography, which I've been doing seriously for about 3-4 years now, but I've also been knitting and crocheting for about a year and absolutely love it! I like to dabble with other crafts, including jewelry making, decoupage, digital art etc. There are so many things I'd like to try! Where are you from? I grew up in England, which is where my parents still live, but moved out to California to go to college. I just love it out here and so I stayed.
How long have you been creating? I think I've been creating for almost as long as I can remember. When I was a kid, I used to cut up old rags to make clothing for my dolls. I didn't really craft all that much in high school and college, but really just picked it up again in the last few years...and now I think I'm in overdrive!!
Have you had special training or are you self taught? Most of my crafts are completely self-taught. My photography started with a 35mm point and shoot camera that didn't even have a zoom lens and I learned entirely from experimenting. One of my co-workers taught me to knit and crochet because we were starting a charity group here at work. I blame her entirely for my yarn obsession. =) Everything else I just pick up along the way. I love looking up new tutorials online and getting new crafty ideas from places like craftster.org.
Is there anything else that you would like to share ?I love being part of the handmade "revolution" and I am so grateful for sites like Etsy for giving artists an opportunity to show their work to the world, as well as connect with other artists. If you make something that you love, there is nothing better than to be able to share that with others!
