Etsy Featured Artist - Ulixis

Amanda is 21 (as of her bio posting on etsy), and from Northern Ontario. She is a a fifth year (undergrad) Honours Biology and Pharmacology co-op student at McMaster University. She posted this in her shop announcement: "My thesis defence is this Sunday at 1:45. I have 20 min to present and 25 min to answer question. Who - me, nervous???" Let's hope she does really well.
Amanda has a mix of paper items - as shown below - and jewelry items. She does custom notebooks and "Accordion Memory Books", like the one below. You can find examples of both custom notebooks and memory books in her "items sold" link.
"Green Gardens ENVELOPE ACCORDION NOTEBOOK / MEMORY BOOK" is an example of her pretty memory books.
"Earth Elements BUTTON BRACELET" , pieced together out of buttons, including a vintage metal one in the center, is pretty and unique. The jumprings are handmade and will be soldered closed when she knows the size that the buyer wants.
"Tip-Toe Through The Tulips CHAIN and BEADED BRACELET" is a full and lush bracelet made of chain and beads. I just had to post this because of its name, taken from an old Tiny Tim song (see him performing it here on youtube), although I DO think the bracelet is very pretty with its organic look of a garden.
