EtsySuccess Feature

Alyssa Zukas — Thu, 31 Mar 2016 18:06:37 +0000

Thanks to etsysuccess on Instagram for featuring the pic of my stenciling process from my Etsy About page. Love Etsy’s new look especially the way it highlights your “about” process.

My story begins… I started stenciling with my mom as a kid one summer (making happy face shirts in the 90s) and fell in love with it! Many special requests later I had a business (started on the dining room table of my first apartment) and Etsy helped me bring that to the world!

So excited for Etsy’s new re-brand of the shops I just couldn’t wait for the rollout to show you. Here’s a sneak peak of the new header design. I think it’s great we get such a large amount of space to show off our branding now. Way to go Etsy!

Alyssa Zukas — Sat, 30 Jan 2016 04:32:48 +0000

Thanks so much to Etsy for including me in their Etsy Finds email for their “Favorite Gifting Trends.” The orders are literally pouring in so I’ll do my best to get them out ASAP! I know everyone would ideally want them for Valentines even though my lead time is 4-6 weeks so I’m hustling to get them out.

Fleecy Fox Scarves to Keep You Warm

Thought I’d take a quick shot of my new fox prototype scarf. It’s a take on a faux fox stole. Super warm and comfy sweatshirt fleece cut and sewn into the shape of a fox with arms, legs and super long tail. Geo fox face is hand stenciled on the front. Made of super soft 100% Combed Cotton Fleece, knit jersey on one side and fluffy fleece on the other.I’d love to make more animals soon but for now, he’s it. Check it out in the shop here

BONjour Enamel Jewelry Now Live

Alyssa Zukas — Tue, 11 Aug 2015 01:56:09 +0000

New BONjour enamel pendants up in the shop with your choice of gold plated chain or cotton bakers twine. Also, check out the enamel pin version as well! Comes in red, navy or white enamel on a polished gold background. Each pendant is etched and hand filled with vitreous enamel color. It is then fired in a kiln to harden the enamel and hand polished to a mirrored finish. Comes packaged on a miniature wooden clipboard or wooden gift tag with hand printed letterpress tag and wrapped in a striped paper envelope.

I’m totally geeking out seeing my designs in metal & I really want to do more. Which design should be next?
