Etsy's Color Matcher

I'm a little obsessed with the DIY marketplace Etsy.com right now, and especially with their elegant little application that lets you browse by color. It's pretty useless for actually finding anything but it's really beautiful as a way to organize photos and data. Click on colors, pull up the photos, move them around, zoom in - it's very nicely conceived! Now if I could only find that perfect citrine necklace....

The guy who designed the flash "color view" of Etsy is Jared Tarbell. I had the pleasure of meeting him at an Etsy summit; really great, nice guy. If you like browsing by color and I think you'll find his independent work is incredibly beautiful too. Check it out:

etsy is SO DANGEROUS. and yet, don't you feel good about shopping there, because you know you're buying from cool DIY girls and boys?

Andrew, that's really awesome - thanks for the links!

It's such a hook to make you spend more... makes me feel like i am 'doing good' and can pat myself on the back, and justify buying more... and more!

And i dont know about anyone else, but when i order etsy things, often the artist will send along a little card that they made for their company, and these little tags are so beautiful and charming!
