BEST Featured Artist - Claycass

What a fun artist to feature this week!  Her Etsy shop is called Ardna's Sac, which had me scratching my head.  Until I read her profile, that is!  Our artist's name is Cassandra, if you read it backwards it says - you guessed it - Ardna's Sac!  I love fun word play!  Did I say play?  Cassandra creates adorable jewelry out of polymer clay.  The pieces are fun and colorful.  I am amazed at the detail that is found in some of them.

But not all of the pieces are depictions of actual items.  Cassandra also makes bracelets & necklaces using clay beads she creates herself.

Look at the beautiful colors in this Twisted Melon Bead Necklace.

BEST Featured Artist - Lightkeeping

It is once again time for a feature on one of the BESTeam members.  This week I have the pleasure of presenting Lightkeeping.  This lovely Etsy shop is the creation of Anastasija, from Ireland.  Anastasija loves color, proportion, symmetry, and most of all, beauty!  Her handmade lampwork pieces are complemented by Swarovski crystals, genuine precious and semi-precious gemstones and pearls.  Many of her pieces are reminiscent of a beautiful garden! 

Allow me to share some of my favorites from Lightkeeping's shop.
