Starving Artists Wrist Candy Holiday Giveaway II – Oct. 17-Nov. 28, 2010

The Starving Jewelry Artists Etsy Street Team is kicking off the holiday season with their second annual “Wrist Candy” Giveaway!  From October 17-November 28, 2010 each time you make a purchase from one of the participating team stores, your name will be entered in the draw to win!  This year’s theme was flowers, and once again team members pooled their considerable talent and enthusiastically contributed!  The result is this very lush and colourful bracelet!

I had the opportunity to play “official photographer” of the bracelet, so I’ve seen and handled it!  I have no doubt that it will bring a lot of cheer and compliments to its lucky winner!

The SATeam blog will have updates over the next few weeks about the giveaway, as well as featuring some of the artists and their work.  Watch for interesting theme articles and collections! Full contest details (as well as how to enter without purchase) can also be found on the blog.

A bunch of members of the Starving Artists Etsy Team pooled their talents for a Christmas Promo this year.  We all contributed a charm, and put together this wonderful bracelet.

Valued at over $400, it will be given away to one lucky customer!  With each purchase at one of the participating shops, your name will be entered into the draw!

For a list of the participating shops, check out the SATeam’s Blog.  Or, do a search on Etsy using the tag SATEAMWRIST.  Members have also contributed items to the SATeam Etsy Shop, so be sure to check it out as well!

Recent Etsy Treasuries

I joined Etsy.com last year as part of my research for an article. Since then I’ve joined two “Street Teams” – groups of people who work collectively to promote each others shops. One of the ways to promote a shop is through the “Treasury” – an exhibition of work curated by Etsy members. At any given time there are 333-500+ treasuries on display, with a wide range of “themes”.

Many of my fellow street team members have been kind enough to include my work in their treasuries, so I’ll take the time now to say “thank you” collectively to them, and to post a gallery of the recent ones.
