Item:  Dressed Up Clothespins
Seller:  Doodlage

This week, I decided to spotlight a new feature I have added to Etsy Item of the Day recently.  Now, anyone can tell me about their shop via my Etsy shop press submission page.

I have been receiving many great shop submissions, so all this week I will be sharing some of the shops that have come my way!

RaShell does all kind of crafts, but her favorites are doodling on rocks and drawing.

“I scan my artwork and finish it in Photoshop,” RaShell told me.  “Most of my prints are hand-decorated which gives them a very special, one-of-a-kind feel. I am also fascinated with papercutting and other paper crafts.”

RaShell is a graphic designer by day, Etsy crafter by night.  She’s also a wife, mother, and daughter. She likes to read, and big chunk of the books comes from the young adult section of the library.

“I think I’ve tried my hand in almost all creative outlets that don’t require expensive equipment, but I get bored rather quickly so I keep looking for more,” RaShell said.

RaShell has a fabulous list of shops she recommends on Etsy.com, including ThisYearsGirl – a shop I featured recently.  She also likes yaelfran, elsita, and geninne. RaShell says she is inspired by these shop owners’ creativity and craftsmanship. Be sure to peep these shops!

Advice for other Etsy sellers?  “Create a lot of stuff, list and renew often, and definitely Network (with a capital N),” she told me.  As for RaShelle’s Etsy shops, she’s working on a whole line of eco-friendly paper jewelry made exclusively from scraps of hand-made paper.

RaShell also has two other Etsy shops Kidoodlage and Twimom.  You can also learn more about RaShell and her crafts on her blog.  Twitter lovers can follow her on Twitter @RaShell.

Stay tuned this week for more Etsy seller features that have come in via my submission page!
