Follow on Google News | Local Los Angeles Artisan, Sonya at Le Gift, Accepted via Jury to Three Sisters' MarketplaceNew Online Marketplace for Artisans, Crafters & Hobbyists to Sell Their Work and Build Their Network
By: Wendy Wolf Email: slhush@hushmail.com Local Artisan, Sonya at Le Gift, was recently approved to sell her work on a new online marketplace – ThreeSistersMarketplace.com. You can find her Shop at http://www.threesistersmarketplace.com/ Sonya made her first paper necklace at 4 years old. “Since I was a little girl, I always loved receiving and giving handmade gifts and homemade treats. They always made me feel special. Nothing changed since then. I love receiving a handcrafted gift and a handmade card. It is so much better than an e-card!" Sonya loves to make unique jewelry, candles, collage items, and all occasion cards. Being a romantic at heart, she is inspired by the Victorian era and Angels. Sonya also gets her inspiration from vintage items, her traveling experiences, and nature. She loves to experiment with the old and the new to create a “déjà vu” item. Sonya is seeking to increase her network by joining online sales on the Three Sisters' Marketplace web-community. She had to pass a Jury to be approved to sell on the site; this maintains a high level of quality items. About Three Sisters' Marketplace: Wolf’s inspiration came from the people closest to her - artisans in her family, her friends and neighbors who created beautiful pottery, hand-knit sweaters, and fine jewelry as well as unique sculptures, paintings and more. Artisans found it was a challenge to justify the expenses of maintaining art galleries and art stores or carting delicate items to and from art exhibits and craft shows. Wolf thought it would be easier to create a platform online to showcase items and create an art community exchange. The whole basis of the site is the balance of the ‘three’ as in the Native American ‘three sisters’ legend of corn, beans, and squash planted as inseparable sisters who grow and thrive together. It is a sophisticated, sustainable system that provides long-term soil fertility and a healthy diet to generations. The three plants flourish because of their symbiotic relationship of working together. “On Three Sisters' Marketplace the artisans, shoppers and our online community all benefit from the relationship – the artisan makes a sale, the buyer gets a quality handmade product, and Three Sisters' Marketplace also benefits by bringing them together and growing for the future” says Wolf. The three plants flourish because they work and grow together – just as artisans, shoppers and our online community do on Three Sisters' Marketplace (www.threesistersmarketplace.com) Three Sisters Marketplace is a family business that supports artisans across the United States. Wolf is a wife, mom, artist, sales person, marketer and leader who is now using the skills she’s honed to launch a dream. The purpose is to bring the “Main Street shopping experience online.” Three Sisters’ Marketplace is a people connector that satisfies the needs of everyone in the mix and that also allows everyone to have fun in the process.
