About Etsy

Keep Commerce Human^TM

Over the years, I have found hundreds of unique, one-of-a-kind treasures produced by Etsy artists, and I have added many Etsy pieces to my own creations.

For my podcast, I have utilized countless Etsy art for my sets. Just like my viewers, these artists come from around the globe, many of them having Etsy sales as their only means of income. They form a vast community of Etsy friends.

As a tribute to these gifted artists and to Etsy for providing a commerce platform that allows them to thrive, I’ve included this section to showcase their art. Please take time to view the links provided.

Thank you, Etsy. And thank you to all these talented, worldwide artists encouraging us to dream, imagine, and create a world full of joy and wonder.

Love, Carlene

Featured Etsy Artist - Masonry Miniatures, Rex and Janel

Handmade Chimneys Featured in Unlocking Pathways to Enlightenment

Note from Carlene:

After I bought my first Masonry Miniatures’ chimney, I was hooked! The incredible quality and workmanship is amazing. Rex’s gift as a Master Mason is evident in everything he creates. Since that first order, Rex and Janel have become wonderful Etsy friends. Over the years, I have loved getting to know them as gifted artists and lovely people. I am delighted to feature my friends, Rex and Janel at Masonry Miniatures as this week’s Etsy Feature Artists.

Rex and Janel’s Etsy site is called MasonryMiniatures.

From Rex:

I am a Master Masonry Craftsman. I owned a thriving Masonry contracting business in Northern California for the past 30 years with up to 35 employees. I have constructed numerous buildings (shopping centers, movie theaters, commercial buildings and custom homes). Some of my works of art have been in the movies. One movie in particular is “Firefox” starring Clint Eastwood. I constructed numerous rock fireplaces and masonry in a fantastic cabin built for the filming of this movie. I have since retired but several years ago, my sister-in-law, Kathe, inspired us…My wife and I started a hobby, and we use the creative talent in the Miniature building world. As a result of this inspiration my wife and I have been working with rock, brick and slate once again and we have mastered the “Realistic” look. We manufacture the colored miniature real brick and beautiful color combinations are time period correct. Our designs would look fantastic in a miniature house, dollhouse, diorama, architecture rendering, fireplace mantle or any place to display a piece of art. Each individually crafted signature piece is one of kind and is signed and dated.
