Tuesday Treasuries

Treasuries on etsy are gallery collections of items for sale grouped under a theme chosen by the curator.  This is a fun way to showcase the talents and work of creative shop owners.

Blogging Business Artisans requires its members to curate one treasury per month.  Each week we will feature one of the past week's treasuries here on our team blog.
The treasury and each item within the treasury is clickable!

Summer may be coming to an end, but that doesn't mean we can't still enjoy the bright, cheery summer colors. Rose of Random Creative curated this fun treasury titled I Love Bright Colors!

 LeAnn of pasqueflower creates beautiful oven mitts in so many great color combos for both men and women. This Bright Flatware on White Set is one of my favorites!

Nancy of NFallonDesignStudio has a fun line of coin purses in different color combos. Her Rainbow Stripes Purse has my two favorite colors right on top...pink and teal :)

New Media or Technique Monthly Challenge.

September is about new beginnings.  As the kids (and adults alike) head back to school, many artists, reminiscent of our school days, get the itch to learn something new too.

Nancy of N. Fallon Design Studio came up with this challenge, inspired by Storybeader's January challenge, to "set aside that time to work on and complete a new technique that you admire."  We've all got those projects sitting on our desks, or ideas floating around in our heads for media or techniques that are outside of our normal work and would love to find time to work on.

So let's find that time!  Make something just for you, or just for fun.  Learn a new technique in your own medium or experiment with a new medium.  Combine techniques, research a new style of work to inspire your project, or just dig through that box of projects you've not found the time to work on and get going!

Pintuck Pleats- New technique to me!

Don't forget to check back sometime around the 25th to see what the other participants have created and posted on their personal blogs. See you then! 

 As members of the Blogging Business Artisans we are required to participate in 6 of the 12 monthly challenges per year.  Additional requirements and to see future challenges click here.  If you would like to become a Blogging Business Artisan, check out what that means here.
