Hey There! So, now that I’m an official Etsy-ite, I’ve discovered that there are Etsy teams, where like minded folk team up and help promote their goods and support each other in this forum. The team I belong to is EAST - Earth Path Artisan’s Team. Recently there was a challenge in the team to produce a gypsy style item. ROCK ON !! I had just joined the team so didn’t get to make something, but check out some of the other entries at the Flickr site listed below. I think you can even still vote for your favorite. Support the creative expressive arts folks! It’s part of what defines us as a culture.

Namaste,

Stacey

Don’t forget to vote!

There’s only a week left to vote for our Gypsy Challenge! It’s really easy, just vote on the poll to the right of this entry!

Here’s our official write-up about the challenge:

The EarthPath Artisans Street Team (EAST) is having a Gypsy Design Challenge! Team members have taken their interpretation of what the word “Gypsy” conjures up for them, and created new pieces in a variety of media.

The purpose of this challenge is not to win prizes or compete with each other; rather, it’s a way to build team camaraderie and inspire us to explore new themes and stretch our creative muscles. And for the winner, it means a little extra attention from an adoring public! Winners will be posted on the blog and on Etsy.

So stop by the EAST Challenge page on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/groups/earthpathchallenge
to see pictures of the entries, and then go vote at the EAST blog
