Purple Handmade Passion

Those of you who know me know I love purple. It is my favorite color. Although I do love all the colors and how we can put them together in our art and create amazing items.  
I have decided to revamp all my blogs. I have several and each one has a purpose. This blog is the blog I started out on many years ago. It has went through a lot of changes over the years. 
I decided that I wanted to try out a word press blog and I loved blogging there. So my 
Thunder Rose Blog lives there. 
Then I created my Etsy team Rainbow Artists and I loved wordpress so much that I decided to blog my team there. 
But to be honest I love blogspot too. I learned about blogging here. I guess you could say I have a little attachment to where everything started for me. In the beginning I was so worried about what to say and how to to it. But I jumped in anyway. Lucky for me everything was very user friendly. I got involved in a couple blog rings along the way , which was pretty cool.  I have learned over time that I enjoy blogging for others but I still need to promote myself. I am really grateful to Tim from Handmadeology for the treasury tool he made for us. 
Now I can blog for myself and add a really great treasury filled with my Etsy friends. How cool is that. 
I would like to suggest to all our friends that having a blog is a fantastic idea for your business. You just need to create one and let your inspiration flow. Start slow and you will more than likely end up loving it. One thing to remember is pictures don't really search but text does. So always remember to do a write up of some kind with great keywords so you will get found by just the right people in search.

On one of my favorite teams and I have several favs. On Fire For Handmade is one I have been on for along time and now am a leader on. It has grown so much and is a wonderful team. This week we are celebrating the color purple so I found some really fantastic items in purple just for you. 
First of all I am going to show you one of my purple leather bags then a a wide variety of beautiful handmade items like purple beaded jewelry, unique purple lamps, purple home decor, purple hats , purple cards and so much more.

New from The shop of Thunder Rose

What is your day made up of?
Most of my day is consumed with our Etsy shops and our website





I work on making different custom beadworks and leather bags everyday.

We have added several different colors of leather for everyone to check out. You can see a color chart on most of our large bag listings. 

We also have several new colors of beads in our supply store
and several new batches of leather scraps and leather laces.

I have been working with instagram lately if you would like to follow us. 
So many of our customers ask us for a picture of our bags on a person so John and I got a mannequin so we can show our leather bags to you. Sometimes the light and weather make it hard to get a picture on the spot so this mannequin is very helpful. 

This is one of our new 





A crossbody handbag made of soft red leather. This bag is 12 inches tall, 11 inches wide and 3 inches deep. It has an extra pocket inside, a pocket outside on the back and a comfortable 48 inch crossbody strap. This bag is made to order so let us know how long you like your strap.

Here are a few of our new bead colors.
Go here to see more


Here are a few of my works in progress for this month or so.








I love my beads and leathers. I love putting together different colors of the rainbow or earthy colors of beads and putting them on a beautiful leather bag. 
So this is it for today! If you would enjoy seeing more of the everyday work John and I do go here
