Truly a delightful small wonder.<br />Just a few of our members aceos below are from....<br />KerryOriginals, danaelola, CarlaKurtArt, susanbrack, SusanMontyFineArt, and Pentip.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hTJahX9T9Ko/TXlVz6RS0wI/AAAAAAAACXc/8ozKLx_mYxg/s1600/kerry%2Boriginals.jpg"><img style="float:left;

Not Yet transfered to the New Etsy Team Site, Please CHECK your ETSY CONVOS, <br />Re; 7th Jan 2011, and click on the LINK within and respond to transfer to the NEW ETSY SITE..Thank You <br />This is the only way I know to add you to The New Site.<br />I have posted several convos since the new site appeared to all existing members, in addition subsequently to all the members who have yet to respond, and on this site and chat threads etc. I realise that Christmas has taken up many artists time and personal committments, and situations change. Everyone may not wish to continue as a member, or some members are no longer using their Etsy Shops. So after another period of time has elapsed, to that end if no responses are made, I will eventually remove the shop links etc from this blog to keep this blog current and up to date.<br />If that comes about, you can of course rejoin again at any time in the future.Lindahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14535356348364905814noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1753073077300452839.post-66011776050470955192011-01-07T00:54:00.000-08:002011-01-08T01:05:35.815-08:00CongratulationsCongratulations to Sheona Hamilton-Grant for her success in the well known Ex Arte Equinus Art Horse Magazine annual show, her works 'Holding on' and 'Hurricane' will be published in their new book, out soon.<br /><a href="http://www.arthorsemagazine.com/exarte4/gallery_drawing4.html">http://www.arthorsemagazine.com/exarte4/gallery_drawing4.html</a><br /><br />Congratulations to Deb Little, when Jen opened up the latest edition of Horse Illustrated magazine, perusing their Holiday Gift guide.

I didn't know who to ask permission from to put a post here so feel free to delete this. I had an idea that I wanted to share with all of you. I received an email from an Etsy artist today offering to let me post two of my photos on her facebook page. She said that she was going to have an ever changing gallery of Etsy art. I thought, what a fantastic idea. She's not only helping other Etsy artists but she's bringing exposure to her own page and work. I wondered why we don't have a facebook page for our Whoa team? We could have different photo albums for different mediums and let members post a specific number of photos to illustrate exactly what they do. We could link with this blog and have new blog posts announced on the page as well as maybe news about our members. It would be a great way to advertise both the team and Etsy. I've been surprised when I post my Etsy news on my own facebook page that so many haven't heard of this wonderful site.<br />
So, what do you think? You can reach me here to let me know, <a href="mailto:grayhorsedesigns@bellsouth.net">grayhorsedesigns@bellsouth.net</a><br />

</div><strong>Please tell us a little about yourself, Tim.</strong><br />
I am a Wisconsin State Fair Most Look Alike twin winner (the year shall remain my secret), have been married thirty nine (I think) years, am an empty nester with a daughter in Minneapolis, a son in Madison Wisconsin and another five miles from our home. We live in Franklin Wisconsin, a southern suburb of Milwaukee. I graduated from UW Madison majoring in Art, Science and History. I’ve worked as an art director in the advertising field for over twenty years. Bonnie and I were married when I was still at the UW and lived in Madison for several years. Those were happy times.<br />
<br />
<strong>When did you first start in the rocking animal business?</strong><br />
<br />
We were in a Doctor’s waiting room when my son Nathan was small. He was having a great time on the simplest rocking horse you could imagine. “I could make that” I said in my big grown up voice. Some time later (thanks to my big grown up over thinking) there sat in our apartment, a full sized four legged horse with mane and tail whose saddle was four feet off the ground and required Bonnie to hold each boy in turn for the duration of his ride. They loved it, she hated it. I started again and created a legless horse, lion and rhino. Everyone was happy. Years later, in need of a hobby, I picked up where I left off. A series of downsizes brought me to where I am today.<br />

</div><strong>What inspires you to create?</strong><br />
<br />
I have always been inspired by any form of expression, from the earliest cave paintings to the impressionists. Howard Pyle, Norman Rockwell and Andrew Wyeth have always been special. I admire those who create music as well. (I myself am tone def and couldn’t carry a tune to save my life) I’d have to say my biggest inspiration has been my twin brother Tom. He is himself a very talented craftsman. He is a great admirer of Native American art and works in the most authentic and traditional ways. The things he creates are of museum quality and he amazes me with his unquestioning willingness to rework or start again until he achieves perfection. I’ve been chided many times for my “I’ll get it next time” attitude. I have to say that his encouragement and pushing has been a great blessing. (By the way, he approves of where he has now brought me)<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MPOjAoZRcEU/S9W1VAKZSXI/AAAAAAAAHDY/iJpN8Yns6EA/s1600/Show+Jumper.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="333" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MPOjAoZRcEU/S9W1VAKZSXI/AAAAAAAAHDY/iJpN8Yns6EA/s400/Show+Jumper.jpg" tt="true" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<strong>Is any one piece a favorite?</strong><br />
<br />
My favorite piece is always the one I’m doing now. My next favorite is always the one in my head. As soon as I can see light at the end of the tunnel, I’m planning my next project. In the past, I’ve often had as many as four pieces in different stages at the same time. Each piece is researched for accuracy, and I enjoy learning new information about the many unexpected ramifications of each. I try to tell a little story around many of my works and often try to have a little fun with that story. <br />
<br />
<strong>Any Pets?</strong><br />
<br />
Since we took in a stray “for a little while” when I was in school, we have always had at least one cat. For the last twenty years or so, we have always had two. Our older cat is Ivy, a large long haired black Siberian. I’ve always called her “our dog” because she was always at the door waiting when I came in and followed me around (often underfoot) like one. I laughed heartily when on a recent “Cats 101” show; they referred to the Siberian as “the dog” of the cat world. In my piece “To Hounds”, her regal paws crossed way of relaxing can be seen in the attitude of my fox. Our younger cat is Hailey. We just adore her. She is so friendly and loving. The second she sees a pair of legs stretched out, she is up stretching herself out in the dip between the two. Many times we both remain longer seated or laying than wanted because we don’t want to disturb her. I call her my “shop cat” because she is always right there as I work on my pieces. She often sits on my drawing board or work bench. Many times she is on my lap as I’m sanding or painting.<br />
<br />

<strong>Any future plans?</strong><br />
<br />
Over these many years, I’ve tried many venues for my rocking menagerie. All have been very limited and unsuccessful. My work isn’t for everyone. But as I kept creating, my house began to fill up. I resorted to giving them away to people who appreciated them.<br />
My house and basement are full of rocking creatures (mainly horses). Etsy has been a wonderful find. While my work is pricy (a function of the many months work required) and is not selling any better, I’ve been able to share it with people all over the world.<br />
To me that’s incredible. From my basement, brother, children and a limited few, to the world (if it cares to look), is amazing. My only plan is to keep creating and posting. (Although, that doesn’t help with my space problem).<br />

He has always been my most honest and constructive authority in a way only brothers can be. <a href="http://www.sibleyfineart.com/">Mike Sibley</a> has had a big influence by proving that the pencil has no boundaries and that it is all down to how we see.<br />I have also found inspiration in the work of the many masters.<br />Magritte for his skill for painting the obvious, his no-fuss technique and use of “less is more” to create confusion, shock and a lasting impression.<br />Degas, Rubens & Rembrandt for their terrific pencil and brush strokes.<br />Da Vinci the wisest most accomplished artist ever to have lived. His art & equine art is inspirational.<br />Hopper for his use of light & compositional strength.<br />Growing up I was surrounded by images of illustrator Rien Poortvliet and photographers Helmut Newton, Robert Doiseneau, Henri Cartier-Bresson & Bruce Davidson . They showed me an honest and sincere way of representing the world.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MPOjAoZRcEU/S3VtsDj7ffI/AAAAAAAAGbY/oFPkRkaudbc/s1600-h/sheonadog.bmp"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437372728757419506" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 279px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MPOjAoZRcEU/S3VtsDj7ffI/AAAAAAAAGbY/oFPkRkaudbc/s400/sheonadog.bmp" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><strong><br />Please tell us a little about your pets.</strong> Basilika, my gorgeous Swedish Warmblood.

</div><strong>How long have you been selling on Etsy?</strong><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I've been on Etsy for almost one year.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><strong>What do you like about selling on Etsy?</strong> <br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I love Etsy! It's easy for one, and there is great quality of work throughout the site. It has also made it easy to make my work available to collectors - both local and from other countries. <br />

</div><span id="goog_1263482545468"><strong>What are your earliest memories of creating equine art?</strong> </span><br />
Grade school - in my world, horses were the only subject! whether is was clay, plaster, wood, paint or paper! <br />
<br />
<strong>What is your favorite medium?</strong> <br />
Oil! I was a coloured pencil artist for years, but made the switch last year and never looked back.<br />

<strong>What artists have influenced your work or provided inspiration?</strong> <br />
I credit two specific artists who provide me great inspiration - Vicki McMurry for colour and John Singer Sargent for brushwork and direct painting methods. However I credit all artists and artwork around me for continued inspiration daily! <br />
<br />
<strong>Please tell us a little about your pets.</strong> <br />
Pets - my dog Maddie, about 11 +/-. a rescue Shep/Collie mix. I have a hard time wondering why she was a rescue, we love her to pieces. She has become my four year old son's best friend and means so much to us in our lives. <br />
I've been a horse owner for many years, but late last year decided to take a break to focus on painting in greater depth. My lovely Dutch bred mare has gone to a friend for breeding and we are beyond excited to see a foal from her in the future. <br />

<strong>How did you find Etsy and how long have you been selling there?</strong> <br />
I think I found Etsy while searching the internet for handmade jewelry. I was beyond excited to discover such an awesome online marketplace. I had dreamed of being able to shop for great handmade items for years! It was also a dream of mine to sell my art and use the money I made to help animals. I opened my shop in July, 2008. I began with acrylic paintings and ACEO's, then added clay pendants and clay art. Just recently I started beading Dreamchaser Horse Rescue's new pewter pendants, and realized that I really enjoy beading as well as painting and working with clay!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MPOjAoZRcEU/SzwjYWG7FlI/AAAAAAAAF98/8svc-4z2L3Q/s1600-h/stephhpendant.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MPOjAoZRcEU/SzwjYWG7FlI/AAAAAAAAF98/8svc-4z2L3Q/s320/stephhpendant.bmp" /></a><br />
</div><b>How long have you been creating jewelry? </b><br />
I have always been really into art - especially drawing and painting, but when I became a new mom and was able to stay at home, I started dabbling in clay and other new mediums. I have been creating my clay pendants for about 2 years now. I am new at beading! I just recently tried my hand at it a few months ago, and I really enjoy it! I have become a gemstone and bead addict! <br />
<br />
<strong>Where do you find inspiration for your work?<br />
</strong>I am incredibly inspired by the horses and other animal friends at <a href="http://dreamchaserpmu.org/">Dreamchaser Horse Rescue</a>. Words cannot describe how amazing these animals are, and what a privilege it is for me to call them my friends. I could be having the worst, most uninspiring day ever day ever - but a trip to the Rescue fixes that. Being around these beautiful, majestic creatures, as well as being surrounded by what I think is the most beautiful desert country in the U.S. is unbelievably inspiring.<br />
<br />

</div><b>Do you have any favorite artists? </b><br />
Many! I love the Impressionists - especially Van Gogh. I love contemporary Southwestern Artists such as John Nieto, Pablo Milan, Aleta Pippin, Barbara Meikle, Earl Bliss, Nancy Cawdrey, Kevin Red Star, Ginny Hogan and many, many others.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Please tell us a little about your pets? </b><br />
We have three kitties we adopted from Cat Rescues and two very LARGE dogs. Cody is a 90 lb mutt and was adopted from the County shelter. Daisy is half German Shepherd and half Australian Shepherd and she came from a German Shepherd Rescue here in Phoenix. I am very close to a horse at the Rescue named Sinatra. He is a "Pintaloosa" (Paint crossed with Appaloosa) and he is a five year old former Premarin foal. <br />
<br />
<strong>Anything else you would like to include?<br />
</strong>100% of sales from my new beaded necklaces goes to Dreamchaser Horse Rescue. They make great gifts for horse lovers! I enclose a Thank You card and brochures from the Rescue with each order.<strong><br />

I'd been <a href="http://shop.ebay.com/gypsymarestudios/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=25">selling on Ebay </a> since 1999 and was fed up with their fees and policy changes and wanted to branch out.<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MPOjAoZRcEU/SstDo0lBjcI/AAAAAAAAFF4/LGeW1oUuOsU/s1600-h/grouping.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 222px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MPOjAoZRcEU/SstDo0lBjcI/AAAAAAAAFF4/LGeW1oUuOsU/s320/grouping.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389475747666693570" /></a><br /><br /><br /><strong>What do you like about selling on Etsy? </strong><br />I love their low listing fees, 20 cents, you can't beat that! They also charge a low commission when something sells. I also really like the people I've met on Etsy. I traded art with another seller and made a great friend!<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MPOjAoZRcEU/SstCyjczjFI/AAAAAAAAFFo/TDzCJH16yxs/s1600-h/mewitch.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 222px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MPOjAoZRcEU/SstCyjczjFI/AAAAAAAAFFo/TDzCJH16yxs/s320/mewitch.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389474815355882578" /></a><br /><br /><strong>What is your favorite medium? </strong><br />That's hard to say since I've worked in many. I would say the medium I use most is acrylic paint since it's easy to use and clean up and it dries quickly. I enjoy painting in oils the most - I love the way they blend and the rich colors. I also really like sculpting in paper clay and hope to do more when I have the chance. Lastly, I love photography. I haven't sold any of my pictures but I take my camera where ever I go!<br /><br /><strong>Where do you find inspiration for your art?</strong><br />In short - everywhere! In my garden, on weekend trips to Longwood Gardens, horse shows, the zoo and museums. Reading children's books to my 3 year old daughter, driving around the beautiful Lancaster County countryside where I live. I think most artists are always looking for things to inspire them - there is beauty all around us! I'm always looking at things - from clouds to bugs - thinking, how would I paint that?<br /><br /><strong>Do you have any favorite pieces? </strong> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MPOjAoZRcEU/SstCzGUpW8I/AAAAAAAAFFw/Rpr-_sMKIcs/s1600-h/worry.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 245px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MPOjAoZRcEU/SstCzGUpW8I/AAAAAAAAFFw/Rpr-_sMKIcs/s320/worry.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389474824716901314" /></a><br /><br />Right now it's a painting of a thoroughbred stallion I used to care for. I painted him in oils this year and the painting hangs next to my art table. This horse was a real jerk and one day he bit me when I was walking past his stall - nearly took my arm off! I still have a large bump on my arm and the scars to prove it! <br />I also love Halloween. The Headless Horseman plays a key role in a lot of my work this time of year. <br /><br /><strong>Any tips for other artists just starting out on the web?</strong> <br />Blog, blog, blog! Number one tip. I've been saying it for awhile now but I noticed that the Artist's Magazine had this in their top ten as well. It's free, it's easy, people will get to know you and want to buy your work. I have had my <a href="http://gypsymare.blogspot.com/">Gypsy Mare Studios</a> blog going since 2007. I've made some really great friends through blogging! <br /><br /><strong>Any pets? </strong><br />We have three cats - Meemee, Zazu and a new ginger kitten named Pumpkin. I had a horse that I raised from a foal but I had to sell him to buy our house 2 years ago. Very sad but family comes first and I know I will have a horse again someday. <br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MPOjAoZRcEU/SstEAK4FZGI/AAAAAAAAFGA/3G5V3sMcrMg/s1600-h/tricksfortreats.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 319px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MPOjAoZRcEU/SstEAK4FZGI/AAAAAAAAFGA/3G5V3sMcrMg/s320/tricksfortreats.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389476148789208162" /></a><br /><br /><strong>How do you envision your artistic future?</strong><br />I'd love to take some college art classes since I'm mostly self taught. I'm also working on illustrating a children's book about horses and Halloween. One of my customers, and now friend, has come up with the wonderful text, I just need to work on the art. Illustration is one of my favorite art forms. I would love to be known someday for illustrating children's books.<P><br /><center><br />You can find more of Jennifer's work on her blog, <a href="http://gypsymare.blogspot.com/">The Mare's Tales</a>, and on her <a href="http://www.gypsymare.com/">website</a>. <BR><br />Become a <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/East-Petersburg/Gypsy-Mare-Studios/176150076256">fan on Facebook</a>.<BR><br />Follow <a href="http://twitter.com/GypsyMareArt">Gypsy Mare Studios </a>on Twitter.</center><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MPOjAoZRcEU/SstF5pXyDKI/AAAAAAAAFGQ/o_PVqwWZkPo/s1600-h/SHgraveyardpaint2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 238px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MPOjAoZRcEU/SstF5pXyDKI/AAAAAAAAFGQ/o_PVqwWZkPo/s320/SHgraveyardpaint2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389478235739393186" /></a>Jennifer MacNeillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04827546204098725228noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1753073077300452839.post-26300138336380247782009-08-25T11:24:00.000-07:002009-08-25T11:47:03.668-07:00Whoa Team Spotlight: Moonlight Photography<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MPOjAoZRcEU/SpQth_yXvzI/AAAAAAAAEoQ/yuyvr1y3HZE/s1600-h/deblehman.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 254px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MPOjAoZRcEU/SpQth_yXvzI/AAAAAAAAEoQ/yuyvr1y3HZE/s400/deblehman.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373970317441482546" /></a><br /><br />Meet Whoa Team member, Deborah Lehman, of <A HREF="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6192032">Moonlight Photography</A>. <br /><br /><strong>How long have you been selling on Etsy?</strong><br /><em>I will celebrate my 1 year anniversary this week.</em><br /><br /><strong><br />How do you like selling on Etsy?</strong><br /><em>I love it!

It is a great looking site, easily navigable and with loads of great features, especially the treasuries! Oh, and the fees are very reasonable - particularly when you consider what you would have to pay a gallery in commission.<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MPOjAoZRcEU/SlSe8ZrL-TI/AAAAAAAAEM0/-21-cKmck8Y/s1600-h/dani4.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 275px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MPOjAoZRcEU/SlSe8ZrL-TI/AAAAAAAAEM0/-21-cKmck8Y/s400/dani4.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356080617371728178" /></a><br /><strong>What are your earliest memories of creating equine art? </strong><br />We had a book of Thelwell cartoons when I was very young, and I spent hours painstakingly copying his drawings. I was probably about 6 at the time.<br /><br /><strong>What is your favorite medium? </strong><br />Watercolour, for it's luminosity and unpredictability, and Indian Ink, used with a dipping pen, because I love the liberating spontaneity it gives my drawings ( I have a tendency to get bogged down in unnecessary detail if I am not stopped!)<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MPOjAoZRcEU/SlSeRrfhPRI/AAAAAAAAEMc/H6aexGnnayg/s1600-h/dani3.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 319px; height: 229px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MPOjAoZRcEU/SlSeRrfhPRI/AAAAAAAAEMc/H6aexGnnayg/s400/dani3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356079883420253458" /></a><br /><strong>What artists have influenced your work or provided inspiration? </strong><br />Many artists, but it always tended to be the illustrators who made the greatest impression. I grew up on a diet of Arthur Rackam, Edmund Dulac and Aubrey Beardsley. These days I have a growing collection of children's books, unable to resist the beautiful illustrations. My favourites are <A HREF="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Highwayman-Alfred-Noyes/dp/0192723707">Charles Keeping</A> (whose illustrations for Alfred Noyes poem, 'The Highwayman' are absolutely awesome!), <br /><A HREF="http://www.errollecain.com/twelve_dancing.htm">Errol le Cain</A> and <A HREF="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cockerel-Fox-Helen-Ward/dp/1840115157<br />">Helen Ward</A>. <br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MPOjAoZRcEU/SlShDu5pbiI/AAAAAAAAEM8/8swoN1Zm2xw/s1600-h/dani2.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 230px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MPOjAoZRcEU/SlShDu5pbiI/AAAAAAAAEM8/8swoN1Zm2xw/s320/dani2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356082942351863330" /></a><br /><strong>Please tell us a little about your pets.</strong><br />Oh, there are several!<br />Magpie, a Labrador collie cross, my faithful shadow!<br />Beetlejuice and Miu, two cats.<br />Red, my beautiful 15hh appaloosa , nearing 20, but still a handful!<br />Matthew and Foggy, my girls ponies, 12.3hh and 11.3hh respectively, middle aged geldings,<br />Marlene, a 4 year old Dartmoor mare, and Sandpiper , a 2 year old Dartmoor x Highland filly.Jennifer MacNeillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04827546204098725228noreply@blogger.com13
