Meet Etsy Artisans At Toronto Marketplace
Last weekend, Toronto Etsy Street Team held their annual
Springtime Marketplace. Since the marketplace was
so close to my home, I dropped by to see what was new
and wonderful coming from Etsy Toronto artisans.
It's always fun to go to a craft market.
Here's a few of the interesting products that are
being created for Etsy followers.
Art That Moves
These are works from Art That Moves and
Christine Pensa. Christine was a political assistant to both
a federal and provincial cabinet minister. She took an art course
and found her passion was art, not politics. Her art centers around
the evolution of spirituality, her love of yoga and a woman's
diverse manifestation of beauty.
Christine creates original art and artful textiles.
I loved the little girl pillows.
Here is where to see more of Christine's creations.
