WESTie Pet Wednesday
It's WESTie Pet Wednesday! See the fur, fins and feathers behind your favourite WESTies!
Meet Krista's pooches: Sophie (Corgi mix) and Buck (rottweiler/boxer):
Says Krista, of Krista's Jewellery, "Whenever I am up in my jewellery room, you can usually find Buck laying under the table at my feet, and Sophie laying at the backdoor, hoping for a break to go outside and play or go for a walk! Sophie is our little diva, and Buck has no idea how big he is as he thinks he is a lapdog and will try and sit on you if you are sitting on the floor!"
Find Krista's Jewellery on Etsy here & on Facebook here!

When did you start your Etsy shop?
I joined Etsy in July 2010, but I restarted it a few months ago.
Why did you decide to start an Etsy shop?
I started my Etsy shop because I wanted to broaden my sale and social network. Most especially to showcase to everyone, what I love doing.
What do you sell?
I sell mainly apparel, female wears mostly, but I am adding male wears to my work this summer.

What is your favorite item to make?
Oh, hard to say! I have quite a lot, but my favorite item at the moment would be my Print Blazers. In a few weeks I will be having a different favorite.
What are your long-term Etsy goals?
Once I'm done both my textile science degree and Apparel diploma, I hope to extend my horizon further than Etsy. I would only owe that possibility to Etsy because it is and will always be my starting point.

WEST May-June Design Challenge: Show Your Canadian Colours!
You asked for another design challenge, so here it is!
I'm posting the theme/inspiration here on the blog and also in our team discussion forum on Etsy. Your job is to take that inspiration in whatever direction your imagination leads. The goal is to challenge yourself, be inspired and enjoy the creative process!
As you think about the theme, add comments to the discussion thread on Etsy about your process. Take pictures of your process and the finished item and post them in the discussion thread when you are done. It's interesting and inspiring to others to hear the story about how you arrived at your finished product, so please share at least a comment about your process! I will post the results of the challenge after the deadline. If we get enough items, I'll make a treasury including all the items!
And now on to the current challenge! The theme for the next month is "Show Your Canadian Colours!" Think red or white or red and white together. The deadline for this challenge is four weeks (one month) from today, June 8, with the results being posted on Monday June 10. When the results are posted, you will be allowed to vote for your favourite entry. The winner will be featured on the blog side bar for one month.
A few notes:
Create something new, especially for the challenge. Entries for each challenge must be finished by the posted deadline. Vintage and supply sellers are welcome to participate too, with a focus on artful photography and careful choice of item.
Happy designing! I hope this inspires you, and I can't wait to see what you'll come up with, so come on, let's get creative!
