Heads up for EFA Street Team members

I have just got back from an on-line Workshop hosted by Etsy, and there was news that will impact on EFA and every other Teams members.

Reports of Etsy teams have been in The Storque news recently and knowing how important the Teams are and the focus they bring, it was announced that Etsy is bringing in some rolling changes from Friday for the Street Teams; how they are organised on-line, communicated with and promoted.

Etsy is also spearheading a big initiative to encourage more handmade holiday spending. I can do no more than hint with the world 'Pledge'...... although I am sure more rumours will leak out!

This push to things handmade will be done with partners, as yet unrevealed, over the internet and, (maybe) a press campaign. It will be up to all of us to contribute with Etsy Street Teams like Etsy for Animals raising the profile 'off-line' by encouraging our friends and family to 'buy handmade'.

http://team.etsy.com/ The tabs on the Team Etsy page and The Storque are where you will be able to find news this coming Friday, and Etsy see this as a big marketing opportunity for everyone, this means, the EFA store and our own shop windows.

Baby Dolphin by wumpus

A beautiful and thoughtful statement is captured in this elemental little Baby Dolphin created by wumpus in response to the loss of another of the Earth's valuable species, the Yangtzee Dolphin, which was declared Extinct on 12th September 2007.

wumpus tells us : "Made of polymer clay, this pensive dolphin measures 2.25" long, 1" tall and 1" wide, and I glazed her with glitter to cheer her up a little bit."

About wumpus :- "Is that a tombstone watering another tombstone...? A slice of toast? A robot? It's a Wumpus, a magical creature that is curious about all the wonderfully silly things in life, loves to play and vows to never grow up.

When the days get too serious, the wumpus in me begs to jump out and be silly giddy happy. I love hiding out and creating imaginary friends and telling stories about them. They often materialize in the form of drawings, photos, polymer clay creatures, short stories, and live on tee shirts, post cards, stickers, and whatever other crazy stuff I come up with.

I also love taking cell phone photos of random things and they often become beautiful abstract images, a little eerie and mysterious at times. Prints of these photos coming soon...

I also do commissioned work - see Commissioned Work section and convo me."
