About a year ago I met on Etsy, a wonderful photographer artist named Sonja Reiter. Sonja called her Etsy shop “bluerider” after a famous painting by Kandinsky from an early period of his career.

Here are two favorites from her shop:
Red Nosed Reindeer
Bee Bop Drummer:
While Sonja shows us the beauty in Nature and the country, her photographs also portray a love for life, music, and humankind.
The last Etsy shop I would like to represent in this article, is a painter from Israel whose wonderful paintings have lately attracted my attention.
This is her shop:
http://HannaIsraeliArt.etsy.com
Two of my favorites:
Oil Painting – Meditteraenean from Artist’s studio in Israel:
And:
Red Anemones Flowers field:
I feel that Sonja’s Art Prints and Hanna’s paintings are works of art I could look at forever!
TEARDROPS FROM HEAVEN
Posted in Uncategorized on 12/18/2009 09:59 pm by admin
For the last 48 hours it has been raining here, in this dry part of the world. The other night I was reclining on my sofa, comfortable and easy, with my cat purring on my lap , the wind outside was howling and torrents of rain were pouring angrily , hammering on my windows as if demanding to be let into the house… but the harder the rain pounded - the happier I felt. Every teardrop from heaven counts in my country!
While the rain was pouring outside, I was listening to Eric Clapton singing “would you know my name - If I saw you in Heaven?” which always makes my eyes kind of damp..
Many many “teardrops” in Etsy shops. About 16,000. Mostly jewelry created with teardrop shaped gems and stones. I’d like to introduce some of mine and a few art pieces which I found and admired:
My Teardrop Wishlist:
The first item which made me laugh is a print by DanaKomjaty “Art print “Black Birds Don’t Cry”
In which she used mixed media including a vintage fabric, guoach paints and ink.
I have a tiny comment regarding black birds - perhaps they do not cry, but they definitely like to leave their gifts on my freshly hung washing! I’d prefer if they cried instead!
Here is where you can find it: http://DanaKomjaty.etsy.com
~~~~~~~~~
The second art item is “Alice’s Sea of Tears” art print where Alice is crying while sailing on a teacup boat in a sea of tears.
Great theme and colors. I found it very amusing and wonderful at the same time: http://theGorgonist.etsy.com

The third and last piece in my blog is Kategreiner’s Sewn paper raindrop decoration pack.
Very very pretty don’t you think?…
Happy Holidays everyone!!

I only wish that all these newborns, will never know hunger and pain or sicknes, war or terror and more of the horrible sicknesses in this world of ours!
May God read this prayer right off my heart with the hope he will grant it!

Here we go:
Last week I went through some very hectic days. I will not bother you with the details, as all of us have our good and bad days. Even so, I have managed to enlist two new jewelry rings in my Etsy shop. You can tap me on my shoulder for that. Oh - Thank you!…
My shop:
The first item is a tear drop shaped Green Chalcedony and silver jewelry ring.
When I first saw the stone in the gem shop I fell in love with it and bought it . The next day it was already set in a Sterling ring which I handcrafted for it.
The second ring is a Sonora Sunrise stone set in a sterling silver ring:
I saw the stone in an internet shop and, again, as soon as it arrived I knew exactly where I wanted to set it:
Both of the rings are listed in my etsy shop :
I like to looke around my Isart Israel Team shops to see what is new, and found a number of items I would have liked to add to my personal wish list, I must say there are many many more, but these are the ones I chose this Friday:
Rutik Handmade Cuties:
http://www.etsy.com/shop/rutik
An awesome Cozy Owl case. It is created from Eco felt made of recycled plastic bottles and lined with organic cotton fabric. An amazing item!
And here is a Hanuka gelt bag:
Would make an excellent Hanuka gift.
Another shop which has always enticed me to go and and see what is new in it is
Lilyja’s shop:
http://www.etsy.com/shop/lilyja
The first is a necklace which reminds me of the jewelry worn by a graceful and sensuous model in the Gustave Klimt paintings. 
And a lovely pair of unique Turquoise flower earrings:
I think these jewelry items deserve to be on other people’s wish list too!
You are most welcome to visit our Etsy shops and as for my post - I’ll be happy with your comments!
My New Tear Drop Turquoise-Aqua Marine Jewelry ring
Posted in Uncategorized on 11/13/2009 06:18 pm by adminI posted this ring yesterday in my Etsy shop . The Turquoise and Aqua Marine coloured beach glass was set by me in a ring which I designed and created from Sterling silver. I set the bezel in the shape of a large tear-drop and fitted the beach glass into it.
After creating the ring from Sterling Silver I soldered 6 tiny 14k gold balls on both sides of the bezel. (3 from each side).
When I finished setting the piece of Sea glass into the bezel,I Oxidized it and gave it a matt finish.
Size of the ring: US size 7.5.
Size of the beach glass: about 2.5cm x 2cm
Max. thickness of the glass : about 11mm
Turquoise is the stone color of the month of December .It is a One Of A Kind unique jewelry ring, and the Turquoise-Aqua Marine hues of the glass are most flattering to the hand.
Price : US$ 105.00

MY HANDMADE JEWELRY
Posted in Bangles, Bracelets, Earrings, Necklaces, New Jewelry, Rings, Uncategorized on 04/29/2009 09:09 am by adminMy Handmade Jewelry
Me at my table
My table (not very tidy!)
My name is Irith Rita Mashiah . I call my handmade jewelry shop Riorita. I have been a silver and goldsmith for
the last 15 years and enjoy every minute of it. I live in Haifa Israel, by the Meditteraenean, and my handmade jewelry workshop is situated in a small artists “colony” in Kibbutz Ein Carmel near Haifa. There is a lawn with statues and more workshops of various artists across my workshop.
Before creating handmade jewelry I used to knit and crochet anything from table cloths to small curtains. I used to sew all my clothes. But ever since I started jewelry making, all I have in my mind is handmade jewelry design.
I started creating jewelry after I got tired of working as a legal secretary. I remember that during a lunch break, I passed by a silver smith’s shop, looked at his window and thought to myself: “I think this is what I want to do… I am going to try it!”. Following this thought, I began my studies at the Wizo Art school in Haifa.
I sell my jewelry in the main gallery of Ein Hod ,an artists’ village close to where I work, in Tefen art gallery shop, and more galleries around Israel. Many of my handmade jewelry items are sold abroad.
In my handmade jewelry workshop I design and create jewelry in Silver and Gold combined with semi-precious stones and precious gems. Many of my items are hammered in the repoussee technique which means they are hammered on top of a bowl of pitch which gives them a three-dimensional or a sculptural effect.
Some of my handmade jewelry designs are symmetrical, such as geometrical shapes, hearts, butterflies or leaves, but I also like using asymmetrical shapes.
What I keep in mind is that jewelry should give women a feeling that they look beautiful and special. Sometimes just a row of pearls can do the job, but on other occasions my jewelry adds a desirable effect.
I design and create: handmade necklace jewellery, sterling necklace, heart necklace ,earrings sterling silver,earring silver gold filled earrings, gold earrings, silver jewelry ring, 14k gold ring, yellow gold ring, gold band ring, 18k white gold ring,sterling pendant, silver 925 bracelet,silver heart bracelet and many more handmade jewelry items which can be custom made.
- Path to my HandMade jewelry workshop
My handmade jewelry workshop is located in a pastoral area, surrounded with about 28 more artists.
We visit each other and sometimes have coffee breaks and lunch together, and it is real fun being there.
In this blogsite, I am bringing along with me some of my beloved Artist friends. I added them by their art fields and you are all invited to meet them.
Right across my door with my dog Kaya
