As if playing around on etsy isn’t dangerous enough already, the other day while poking around I clicked ‘shop local’ and stumbled onto some pretty neat stuff. My favourite was JewlezyBug so I’m sharing her first! Julie has created some really cute characters and uses some interesting materials. She paints on rocks to make neat pendants and uses pages from old books and phone books as the canvases for her whimsical paintings!
I sent her a message on etsy and she seems really fun and agreed to do a GIVEAWAY!!!!! Soooo free stuff to someone who’s in need of cuteness! Julie is willing to giveaway one of her prints, see them all here in her flickr pool, just leave a comment here telling us which one is your fav (they’re numbered 1-90). I like this little guy.
I asked her a little bit about herself and she sent this little blurb, thanks for sharing!
“I have always doodled and painted for as long as I can remember. I am drawn to bright colours and happy motifs that catch the eye and make you smile. I like my art to make you feel good and brighten your day. I use old books and phone books as my back drops because they visually stimulate the eye and provide texture to the art. I feel my art is a reflection of my inner child just wanting to play. I take inspiration from colour, from my day, nature, from the people in the my life and from my furbabies (4 cats and 1 dog: Jewels (hence the name!)”
She also has a blog where she shares her new creations, fun crafts and her cute animals. I love these ribbon curtains she made.
I’ll do some magical random winner picking Sunday night and announce Monday morning! Ohhh the suspense, I’d better set my iphone alarm . . .
I guess I’ll have to go with the dragonflies! This one to be specific… http://www.flickr.com/photos/jewelzybug/4688642637/ (though I also really like the Sing Like No One’s Watching bird ^_^; ) But I let Derek help me decide on this one so Dragonflies it is. ^_^ Love that owl pendant though. Sooooo cute!
I like #36 – the butterfly
I like the dragonflies too, but the Butterfly won.
Hi! Great blog post!
Thanks so much! Ohhh – it is SO exciting! :0)
I love # 76, the dragonflies are so cute!
I like – 078 – Petite Tweets There are lots of great ones though! What a wonderful idea!
I like 088 – Owl in Tree. So cute!!
They all are so awesome! My pick is 058. ‘Cause I get lots of joy out of eating cookies too
Jo – back off that owl pendant! I’m saving my allowance
After perusing every page and loving everything even pics too
was really tough to pick between them. Having much fun with this thanks again. What a cool idea.
I really like number 27 Sing Bird I love the music notes in the air and the little bird perched on the tree branch. This is my fav, but I also like the GREEN ELEPHANT TOO !!!
Ok shorter coment. I like sing bird number 27 best of all.
having much fun with this too 
tks.
What a fun idea – I couldn’t decide between #036, which seems to be quite popular or # 23. I love it when simple things turn into great pieces. H
I love them all, but I think my favorite is 089, second is 058, and also 090
Of course, I need to make a list of favourites:
1) 068 – I Love Cheese
2) 073 – Pigs Fly (loved this series!)
3) 045 – Home Sweet Home
4) 004 – Bunny Journey
All cute and what a great idea to use old book pages as the canvas!
I love her prints! They are very cute. My favorite is Turtle Journey.
I would love to make a cute frame and give it to my nephew who loves turtles.
Thanks for the chance.
Love to see JewelzyBug ‘s stuff. Great Idea for the contest and promotion of other etsy artists. Very cool indeed.
