Party Like It's 2011: New Giveaways!

These two beauties come from the lovely Etsy sellers duende74 and Lindsay Satchell.
The shirt is made of silver cotton fabric. The back is almost entirely open, and has a beautiful crochet detail on the nape.
More about Adva, duende74's shop owner:
I am a textile designer from Tel Aviv with a great passion for colors, textures and traditional crafts. During my travels, I found myself in a small Guatemalan village surrounded by beautiful Mayan women who taught me the secrets of their traditional weaving. That was the beginning of my romance with textile. During my studios at Shenkar College of Engineering and Design, I mastered in knitting and gained experience in printing, felting, and weaving and dying fabrics. For the last six years, I have been designing under by brand, Duende.
My main inspiration comes from traveling and meeting interesting people as well as small miracles that wait along the way every day, just beneath my eyes.
It all started with a quiet yoga lesson up on a Rishikesh guesthouse rooftop in 2004.
During the savasana in the end of the practice, I felt a strong connection with Mother Nature. It was raining heavily (an Indian monsoon!), but I was peacefully still and felt one with the universe.

More about Lindsay, the shop owner:
I started as kid and never stopped being an artist. I have a bachelor's and master's degree in fine art, with a specialization in sculpture. It's a gift, really, to be able to create something you feel inside, and have it inspire another person. That's why painted my first yoga image. I was totally in love with my practice and my teacher and wanted to express that joy.
You can also find her on Facebook.
More about her yoga:
My first class was in 1998, when I was in college. It was a packed class, very intense and I loved it immediately. I've practiced a lot of places and tried a lot of styles, and it all comes back to "How am I breathing? Where is my mind?" Over the past 12 years I've had a lot of physical changes and challenges, and my yoga practice meets me right where I am.
