WESTie Wednesday : ft Sarah Neville Studios

WESTie Wednesday with Sarah Neville of Sarah Neville Studios!

Welcome to WESTie Wednesday, where each week we get to know a proud WEST member and their Etsy shop! Learn about Sarah and their shop Sarah Neville Studios.

"My name is Sarah Neville and am the owner of Sarah Neville Studios. I am an artist from Winnipeg, MB. I create my illustrations with watercolour paints and pen and ink. When trying to create something new, my thoughts are that I always want to be able to put a smile on someone's face! Most of my items have a sense of humour to them, or at least I like to think they do. I'm lucky to have a home studio, where I can create my illustrations, next to my co-worker of Sarah Neville Studios, my husky."

"My shop has funny greeting cards for all occasions! All of my cards have silly puns or funny sayings, that hopefully brighten your day no matter what the ocassion may be. Whether it be a birthday, new baby or just because, I have a card for it!"  

"My cards have prints of original watercolour illustrations. I also have illustration art prints with charming animal characters available in my shop!"

We asked Sarah “Why Etsy?”

"I have an Etsy shop to broaden my customer base. When opening my shop, I thought it would be a great way to reach a more global client base. Since opening, I have sent cards to countries all over the world, which is really exciting for me!"

Hello from PrairiePeasant

I'm a new member of the Winnipeg Etsy Street Team, and I'm here to introduce myself to you today! My name is Laura, and I've had my Etsy shop PrairiePeasant for a little over a year now. My shop is currently focused on handmade journals, cards and envelopes, although I also repurpose thrifted fabrics into totes and quilted projects (but not many have made their way into my shop yet).



I haven't made myself known much on the local scene with craft shows yet, as I just don't have the time to make enough stock to display--I also have a day job in health care at one of the community hospitals in Winnipeg.



Recycling and repurposing are important to me in my Etsy shop and in my day to day living. I'm a regular at certain thrift stores, and love finding unique items to find another life in my work. I love finding damaged and discarded books that I use in my Rebound Journal series and envelopes.



I love to have fun with my work, whether in using materials in unusual ways, or enjoying the sculptural qualities of books like this star book:



I look forward to getting to know the visitors to this blog and the members of this team! Please stop by my shop PrairiePeasant, my blog, or visit me on Twitter. Maybe soon I'll meet some of you in person too!
