Hi! I want to introduce myself.
My name is Elke and I live with my extended family on a homestead in the Coast Range of Oregon.
I love natural living, holistic health, DIY lifestyle, nature, handicrafts, yoga, art, music and observing beauty.
My creative bliss, my right livelihood is crafting jewelry and crystal works and selling them at elkemi.etsy.com
Because I am "isolated" in the woods, I really appreciate authentic connections over the internet.
I look forward to meeting you all, please feel free to introduce yourself and reach out!
Thank you for introducing yourself, its really interesting that you are doing etsy online shop with your jewelry. Did you design the jewelry you are wearing? Looks nice. Please post more about how you produce them and how you sell them. Are you finding Etsy useful for selling and marketing your jewelry?

I have been finding etsy increasingly lucrative after I have built up a good #instagram following. If you happen to be on there, please check me out @elkemi_creations
I did make the necklace that I am wearing in this picture, it is a personal power piece with albino ravens, Welo opals, turquoise and snakeskin agate.
It is actually rare that you will see me wearing my own creations, as I love trading and promoting other artisans!
Thank you for reaching out!
You seem like a beautiful soul :) I wish you the best possible success on this platform and with your jewelry!
P.s. - how do you like Oregon? do you live in an isolated community?
Thank you for reaching out!
Isolated community?! yes... lol i live with my 4 year old son, partner and my mom.....
we can be in town in 30 minutes though, but I think we mostly prefer to be here on the land.
I love Oregon, the climate is amazing, people seem to be open minded with it comes to lifestyle, and the air is fresh.
where are you?
I'm living in Mississauga Ontario (Toronto) And I really wish I had a good excuse or reason to live off the land and create my own community :) ....I really hate the vibration of everyday city people...always in a rush and full of fear...and all this concrete...I just want to live in a small house/ cottage/whatever with my own free energy supply and garden! To be able to live deep in the woods where moss grows and every morning I can wake up and feel a connection to the earth by walking around barefoot. I love nature XD how long have you been in this isolated community?
What is your everyday lifestyle?
every day lifestyle, i would say is crafty mom - i want to be back more into the yoga lifestyle, and i hope that will happen. my job other than crafting is caregiving, and it is very fulfilling......
i also love to travel - i used to work, save then travel. i hope to do that again some time with my Cub once he is a bit older.
You seem to live the lifestyle which I dream of. Good luck and welcome on board steemit!
Thanks for reaching out! I am attempting to consciously shape my lifestyle towards my dream and my integrity every day. Nature is essential to me.
You are welcome Elke! Can't wait to read your interesting articles. Elke is a name of german origin, you might know that :D
Best wishes for your future!
yes! most of my heritage is German - my last name is Wiethorn.
Sounds like your ancestors lived in northern germany, didn't they?
that could very well be! i would love to travel to that area and sense my roots, as i feel that is something i am somewhat disconnected from.
Welcome! So glad you're here. :)
Welcome to Steemit. I have always wanted to visit Oregon:)
