Item: Cinnamon Spice Holiday Print
Seller:  farbklecks

Cinnamon Spice 300x225 Cinnamon Spice Holiday Print

What’s more holiday than cinnamon?  Looking at this print by Etsy photographer Stefanie almost makes me smell the holiday season!

Stefanie is the photographer behind the Etsy shop farbklecks.  I met Stefanie through my Etsy Item of the Day shop submission page, and I fell in love with her featured holiday prints.  Take a look:

Christmas Decor Photo Macro Red Ornament 300x225 Cinnamon Spice Holiday Print

My name is Stefanie, I’m 25 years old and photography has always been my passion,” she told me.  ”My photography is very colorful. Actually, Farbklecks is the German word for “splash of color”. Since I’ve always liked white walls, I’ve also always liked colorful decoration for my white walls, and that is basically how Farbklecks came into being.

When she’s not listing Etsy items, Stefanie told me she’s working on her Master’s degree in comparative literature.

This really is a job in itself, but I always manage to keep my creative juices flowing,” she said.

When I asked Stefanie where she likes to shop on Etsy.com, she told me about a shop called MonsterKookies.

Kimberly’s quirky creations are just so much fun to look at. Especially her brain cupcake necklace speaks to me a lot (wink),” she said.

So what’s coming up next for Stefanie’s Etsy shop?

I plan on adding photographs whenever I feel the prints are worthy of being uploaded,” Stefanie told me. “I’d also love to get my photographs featured at some exhibitions and enter into a few contests.

Stefanie is relatively new to Etsy, so be sure to show her shop some love.  Just click her shop link (called farbklecks) at the top of this feature to check out her work.  You’ll love it!

I’m also really excited to report that since Stefanie shared her shop with me 2 months ago, she’s actually had her first sale and is now up to three!  Go Stefanie!  Congrats!

Carnival Photography

Item: Carnival Prints
Seller: TerraVision

Carnival Carnival Photography

These carnival-themed fine art prints from Etsy photographer Terra Holcomb are amazing!  I love the bright colors and the playfulness of these cool prints.

Terra’s Etsy shop (called terravision) has amazing prints.  I first heard about this seller via my Etsy Item of the Day shop submission page.

I was born on the first Earth day–April 22, 1970,” Terra told me.  ”My name is Terra because it means “Earth” in Latin. True to my name, I have been captivated by landscapes, gardening and finding my place on the earth.  I am a Washington native and now that my 3 children are older I am re-discovering the incredible diversity of our state. I love nothing more than being taken away by music and the back roads. It doesn’t matter how many times I have heard the song or wandered down the same path. I always discover something new.

My favorite places remind me of Alice and the Looking Glass–I am small compared to 50 foot tall trees that are over 100 years old, I am a giant compared to the pebbles at Ruby Beach, and I have been dwarfed by the rolling hills of the Palouse,” she continues. “I feel changed whenever I return home and realize that it’s never just a road trip, it’s been a vision quest. I love road trips, discovering the back roads, thrift store hunts, hiking in the forests, experimenting with new photography materials.

Terra offers some great advice to other sellers on Etsy:

It’s a ton of start up work and once you everything posted, you aren’t done!” she says. “They key is letting the world know you’re out there. Renew, refresh products, join teams, build circles and treasuries. Don’t be shy! No one can no how great you are unless you tell them!

So what’s coming up next for TerraVision on Etsy.com?

I make photo jewelery and boxes with my photographs that I sell in local stores,” Terra told me.  ”I plan to make a ton of them for the holidays and post more of those on Etsy. I have been experimenting with encaustic and resin on photos and really love the affect. I will always be taking photos and looking forward to the fall and winter series.

Item: Old Fish Factory Print
Seller:  JaneRovers

Old Fish Factory 200x300 Fish Factory Fine Art Print

Meet photographer Jane Rovers, who sells her killer, vibrant photos on Etsy.com at a shop called JaneRovers.  I met Jane via my Etsy Item of the Day shop submission page.  Haven’t submitted your Etsy shop yet? Why not!? I love looking through these submissions and finding new great shops on Etsy.com!

Jane describes herself as a graphic designer, photographer, artist, mom, and wife.  She’s also the owner of the “sometimes obedient” Sammy.

When I am not crafting I love to swim (in lakes and oceans). I love to laugh, and I love to cook and eat!” Jane tells me.

My favorite photograph in Jane’s shop is this awesomely vibrant “Old Fish Factory” print.  This 12 inch by 18 inch fine art photograph was printed on Kodak Professional Supra Endura paper and is selling for $60.00.

There are tons of other lovely photographs in Jane’s shop. Just click the shop link (JaneRovers) at the top of this feature to view them all/

When I asked Jane where she likes to shop on Etsy.com, she told me she really enjoys a shop called drkennedyjones.

Fantastic work. I love the layers and texture and colours,” Jane said.

Jane shared some great advice to other Etsy sellers:

Have fun,” she recommends.  ”Spend time on Etsy and promote your shop locally..but remember to get outside and play too. Go for a walk, go for a swim. Get some fresh air and exercise an then come back to your work with fresh eyes and ideas.

So what’s coming up next for Jane’s fun shop?

I’m always creating new things. I take my camera everywhere. I try to make something everyday. I have millions of ideas for future creations,” she said.  ”American painter Andrew Wyeth is quoted as having said, ‘I dream a lot. I do more painting when I’m not painting. It’s in the subconscious.’ Like Mr. Wyeth, I dream a lot as well; I have an endless portfolio of unseen creations stored in my memory.”

Be sure to connect with Jane if you love her work or are interested in buying a piece.  You can visit her on Facebook here or follow her on Twitter @JaneRovers.
