Introducing the ETSY Supplies Street Team: Doodles Mosaic Tiles

This is the next in my series about the wonderful peeps of Team ESST. Today's topic is:

Doodles Mosaic Tiles has a broad array of mosaic tiles for mosaic artists. Many of her tiles are clear, in a variety of patterns and sizes. However, she has lovely broken china tiles, glass globs, and holiday items. Fhe also carries neodymium magnets, and a wonderful clearance section (titled, amusingly, "Oops!") that almost seduced me into trying my hand at mosaics.

By far the most interesting part of her shop, though, are her custom made hand painted tiles. Whimsical, bright, and cheerful, these tiles would turn any mosaic art from humdrum to spectacular.

With 597 sales, Doodles is going great guns! Check her shop out. If you'd like to find older posts in this series, search for the tag ESST members.

Crinoline Stash has a brightly colored stash of supplies. She says in her announcement, "I've got acrylic felt, shrinky dinks, fun beads, findings, and an eclectic mix of supplies!" And she's not lying. Looking through her shop is like looking at the most cheerful rainbow you can imagine. She has a lot of wonderful findings, including colorful jump rings for your chain maille needs. There's ribbons and cords and overall a riot of rainbow colors!

Crinoline also has a store for her own crafts, and uses many of her own supplies to make her goods--so check that out, too, if you want even more inspiration.

Check Out: MK Supplies

Margaret of MK Supplies has been selling supplies on Etsy since March 2008, I recently asked her a few questions and here's what she had to say:

Q: How did you start selling supplies?
A: I am obsessed with vintage beads and supplies in general, I myself am a jewelry designer and artist. I decided when I started to hoard vintage supplies for my own creations, that I might as well own a shop for supplies as well, as half of the fun to me is searching out the materials. It has since blossomed, and become a business that keeps me very busy, and super happy.

Q: What your favorite item in your shop, right now and why?
A: My favorite item in my shop right now are the vintage brass roses with genuine rubies set in them. They were so gorgeous, that I bought every last one of them! I saw endless possibilities with these pieces, and was instantly inspired.

Q: Recommend something *different* a crafter could use your supplies for.
A: While I market my items as jewelry supplies, a lot of jewelry supplies are suitable for altered arts, card making, scrap booking, and embellishing just about anything. I have seen gorgeous collages made using vintage plastic flowers like the ones I sell in my shop
To sum it all up Margaret says that her shop has a large amount of unused (old stock) vintage items, and new contemporary items that work wonderfully with vintage style designs. She also carries a decent amount of contemporary Czech glass beads. MK Supplies is constantly expanding, and Margaret takes great pride in my customer service. And she ships worldwide! So pop on over to MK Supplies and have a look around.

Margaret also uses her supplies in fabulous creations - which you can check out in her other Etsy shop, Margaret Kelly.
