Hello Fellow Indiepublic Peepz,

My name is Nichole and I'm 26 years old and live in Miracle Mile of Los Angeles with my boyfriend (a graphic designer, website builder/manager) and our two cats, Lucy and Diego. I love to create many different things, but mainly I work with different types of beads (new and vintage) along with other interesting materials I come across to design Necklaces, Bracelets, and Earrings. I also like to paint with acrylic, dabble in graphic design and work with clay, such a Fimo. My etsy website is www.beverlybijou.etsy.com
I also help my boyfriend with his other sites:
www.thebeverlyshop.com ( This will link you too all of our partner websites which include many fantastic collectible and household items at great prices! )
I also am currently helping with the online store www.grooveriders.com ( a DJ supplies store )

I have a bachelors degree in Liberal Studies with an emphasis in arts and education. I also have two teaching credentials. In a few weeks, I will be starting a new class ( first year with my own students) of 2,3,4 combo elementary special Day class for students with specific learning disabilities. Integrating arts into the curriculum is a huge part of my teaching philosophy.
Whew, Sorry this is so long! There is just so much going on... :) So glad to be here and to meet you all!

Hi my name is Heather Gill and I live in Scottsdale, Arizona. I'm a sahm of a very busy 3 year old and an artist. I opened up a little shop on etsy in May of this year so that I could sell the items that I have made and continue to purchase supplies to make more.
I started with jewelry after the birth of my daughter and needed a creative outlet. I am a culinary trained chef and that field is a little hard to be in and still maintain a family life. I started out with just stringing. I got bored really quick and started to look for other things to do in the jewelry world and I found precious metal clay. Well 3 years later I still love it. I have started to take classes in traditional metalsmithing and I am enjoying it very much.
I am very happy to have found this place. Thank you so much Sion Lee for this great site.

Hi, everyone!

I opened ( "Tickled Pink Knits" ) on Etsy just a couple of months ago to offer hand knitted accessories, like scarves, neckwarmers, and wrist cuffs I design and make. I simply adore playing with yarn combinations, textures, and patterns. Lately, when I'm not knitting, I'm thinking about knitting...:)

I live in NYC and work in higher ed administration.

I love being part of Etsy (and now IndiePublic)!

My other Etsy shop is devoted to fine art photography - http://floralia.etsy.com

Hello. My name is Nuni. I run a coffee shop as part of my graduation requirement in business school. When I'm not busy selling cappuccinos or presenting my business plan to evil professors, I design prints for clothes and accessories. My sister and I plan to put up a clothing store soon.

I haven't done much here, but I'm liking this site already. :)

Hi! My name is Kayce and I was invited to indiepublic after my feature on Cuteable (thanks so much Sion!). I have partnered with my mom who has always inspired creativity in me and we have created World of Whimm. We make baby quilts, bibs, and burp rags, notecards... and I design and create costumes as well (this is my first love). I'm still working out the kinks in my costume designs, but I'm slowly adding a few here and there. Each is unique as I have yet to have the discipline to make a patern. If my mom has her way, this will happen someday soon.

Anyhow, please visit me at www.worldofwhimm.etsy.com. I have really enjoyed the Etsy community for the month that I have participated and I hope to meet lots of new people on here as well!

Hello, all. My name is Elizabeth Olson, and I live in Berkeley, California. I'm a photographer who has only recently begun to consider the potential sale of my photographs - my Etsy shop is only a month or so old, and I haven't quite figured out what I want to attempt next.

My favorite subjects are architecture and urban areas, but really I shoot whatever catches my eye. I love finding abstract shapes in ordinary things and bringing them to the foreground.

I have been a consumer of indy art for a long, long time, and have the work of many indie artists on my walls and in my jewelery box.

This seems like a great community and I'm looking forward to talking to everyone more!

Hello all! I'm Traci. I live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest (Seattle area of Washington State, to be more specific) with two fat cats and a Chihuahua. I started making jewelry over the past year and have found myself completely captivated by it--better than therapy, any day! (not that i need therapy...i mean, well, mostly just to cure my addiction to etsy.com and probably indiepublic pretty soon, too!) ANYWAY. Unfortunately I have to maintain a day job at the same time, but I decided to start a little business to share the fruits of my now all-consuming pass-time. I'm still really new at all this so still pretty small time but I hope to meet lots of people passionate about their crafts to learn from.

see you 'round these parts, I hope!
