Rainbow Metals

Dvora has an amazing metal shop on Etsy. Rainbow Metals has the most wonderful magnets, jewelry, items for children and more. This is a very unique shop!


My name is Dvora Schleffer. I live in a small village in the north of Israel. I have been crafting ever since I can remember myself. I started making jewelry when I was a teenager and never stopped. My "RainbowMetal" store in a new adventure for me that I just started about 2 months ago. I have been making sterling silver and gemstones jewelry for many years under the name "DvoraSchleffer". I wanted to try something different, with more colorful and fun items. I also ventured into non-jewelry items for the first time with small home decor items like magnets, pictures etc. Since my name "DvoraSchleffer" was already taken by my existing store, I came up with "RainbowMetal" which I think reflects the essence of the store - colorful metal.

I have a small studio at home where I do my crafting. I have several working areas in the studio for all my different crafting needs. My work process is made of several stages. First I plan my designs. I make several sketches until I decide on thoise I like. Then I decide on the techniques I am going to use. I actually have several different techniques that I use to make my rainbowmetal items. After that I make the design and see if it works as planned or if it need any changes on the way. I am not addicted to any supplies, I love experimenting and trying new things all the time. I am however addicted to tools! I have a wide selection and I have a list of many more tools I would love to get. So in answer to what would I add to my crafting space I would say - many cool tools and more space so I'll have room to put it all!

My favorite piece is the cute giraffe painting. I had fun venturing into non-jewelry items for the first time. I got to decorate rooms and not just people; I got to work in different sizes and different techniques than those I am used to. The paintings for children's room were especially fun to do, and this giraffe painting is my favorite. It turned out so much nicer and cuter than I had expected.

~A few weeks ago I did a feature on Jennifer Labella Art and her wonderful new book. Well, Jennifer happens to live 1.5 hours north of me, and in the same city and Luke (my oldest son). After contacting Jennifer about her book I found out she was going to be selling it at a show and so sent Luke to get me two books - one for me and one for my nephew for his birthday. Luke brought them home 2 weekends ago. I love this book!! The illustrations are amazing, the story is wonderful. Jennifer has much better pictures in her shop - but I thought I'd show you a few that I took.

~Last week tuesday, I told you about this Pepperment Foot Butter I had purchased. Well - I have really really rough feet and heels. I've been using this Foot Butter almost daily since I got it one week ago. Forgot a few days, so I put it by the computer, then when I'm sitting here "doing nothing" I'll put it on my heels. IT'S AMAZING!! It only took a couple of days till my heels were nice and smooth. I highly recommend this foot butter!! Here's the link again:

Fantastic Finds!!

When I first decided to do these "treasuries" every Friday I didn't know how hard it would be to pick only 12 shops each week! WOW! There are so many wonderful items on Etsy to choose from. Then I managed to get one "real" Treasury West on Wed. , and used the items I had picked for today. So I had to start all over. But I managed to "find" other awesome items it a very short time. Here are this weeks picks. Please click on the pics & go see these wonderful shops!!
