Okay people, I know you like Reader Fixx Thursday because you tell me so and a ton of you chose it as your fave in the Reader Survey.

I’m going to be very, very blunt about this… if you want it to continue, then you must get up off those pixx you’ve been meaning to send me and send them to me pronto! As of right now, I have no Reader Fixx Pixx to feature for tomorrow and I swear it’s like pulling teeth to get you people to send them to me.

So, I’m holding Reader Fixx Thursday for ransom. If you want it to continue as a feature on Indie Fixx, send me your list of your top 5-10 indie sites by midnight or I’ll start sending you fingers in the mail.

There’s even a handy dandy form you can use.

Today’s Reader Fixx Pixx were sumbitted by one of my favorite artists, Tara Hogan of INK&WIT. Tara’s list is a mix of sites and products with a socially conscious and green focus. Check ‘em out, it’s a great list!

Also, make sure to visit Tara’s site and her etsy shop for some lovely, lovely art.

Crafting in a Greener World - DIY blog for Environmentalists

Today’s Reader Fixx Pixx were submitted by It’s Victoria from www.victoria-e.com and www.craftingagreenworld.com. Victoria put together a great list of her favorite indie shops for us. Victoria has some kick ass taste…she included a few of my favorites on her list.

1. Kirin & Co - Her sustainable fabrics are perfect for every crafty project that I envision doing … you know … once I have the time and such.

2. Recycled Rings - Eco-blogs have been mentioning Michelle’s crafty creations for years now and after interviewing her in July of 2007, I was hooked as well. I don’t yet own one of her pieces, but I am this close.

3. Ink+Wit - Nestled in northern New York, this yoga-loving modern-art-creating woman is not only a fantastic creator whom I fawn over, but she has also become a good friend.

4. Betsy Walton - Betsy is the first of many Portland artists and indie businesses that I have come to know and love. Her art is like looking into a dream that none of us fully understand but long to be a part of. My goal is to get a piece for my mum as a gift (and many for myself). I know she would adore it.

5. boygirlparty - Susie’s nifty creations, from paintings and pouches to recipe cards and stationary, are an infamous part of the indie culture. Now that she has started using soy inks and recycled paper, I’m all the more addicted to her works.

6. Amy Ruppel - My favorite bird lady. She is the epitome of a sustainable indie artist and I’m always on my toes, waiting for her next fantastic creation.

7. Yellena - Despite my wide appreciation for indie art of all kinds, if someone asked me what my favorite style was, I would immediately answer with “surrealism.” Yellena seamlessly blends modern outdoor concepts with surrealist beauty … I can’t even put it into words, you just have to see her stuff!

8. Old School Stationers - I have a serious soft spot for letterpress. The first letterpress company I found, and which helped to cement my love for this “ancient” art, was these folks in Portland (where I just happen to be moving to in June, go figure).

9. Happy Owl Glassworks - Drooling over Happy Owl’s goods for over three years, I finally bought my first pin from them a few months ago. They have a true talent for what they do and I will be a loyal customer for many more years to come.

10. Craftyyarn - I’m a sucker of eco-yarns and you can’t get more sustainable than ones made from vintage sweaters. A lot of the colors in here are ones that you rarely find in mass-made yarn brands as well, making them all the more enjoyable to work with.

Today’s Reader Fixx Pixx were submitted by Lynette. Lynette’s one busy lady with three different indie shops—that’s my kind of gal. Her sites are bleu-lulu, Shuusei & Like Wolves. Check them out, because as evidenced in her pixx, she has good taste.

This week’s Reader Fixx Pixx were submitted by Kelly of Happy Shack Designs. Here’s a link to her blog as well. Thanks, Kelly. You really found came up with some interesting finds. I do think the Twins painting is just adorable.

Mango Tango’s Forget Me Not Necklace: First her pictures caught my eye and then when I really took a second look, her PMC pieces are to die for.

MeriMask’s Sun and Moon Mask: Having twin four-year-olds, we don’t get out to parties much, much less one at which I could wear this, but I just thought it absolutely one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen.

LauriAnn Wakefield’s Original Painting TWINS: Like I said, I have twins…..love this.

Urban Closeouts Wirewrapped bracelet: Yummy! This is a technique I’ve been trying to learn so this is very inspiring.

Sandra Spencer’s “You Want Me to Go Where?”: This IS my dog! Well not really, but it looks exactly like her, expression and all. I already have one of Sandra’s paintings, but I’d love to have more.

Today’s Reader Fixx Pixx are brought to you by Tiffany. Thanks, for some great pixx, Tiff!

I’m looking for your indie pixx to feature on Reader Fixx Thursday! To participate, send me a list of your top 5-10 indie links. Your list can be a shopping list wish list, your top shops you’ve purchased from, a list of your favorite magazines or blogs, your favorite indie crafting tutorials, your favorite flickr groups or anything really as long as it’s in the spirit of indie. You can even come up with a theme for your list–like fashion, kitties, cute, guy stuff, or whatever you dream up.

We want to hear from you and so do the other readers! What are your indie favorites? Send us your list and make sure to include a link to your shop and/or blogs, so we can include a link when we post your list.

Here’s Tifany’s indie pixx!

I adore the ceramic Folk bowls made by Aron Lowe, especially these cute little owls.

Mark Poulin jewelry pieces are “grown-up cute” as well as unique.

Deb Babcock’s ceramics, especially her teapots, are sure to be a conversation piece.

Kacey Dilla makes fabulous guitar straps out of vintage ties.

I think this skirt by Kaching Design is the best skirt I have ever seen in my entire life anywhere ever.

Pop Ink, found at Naka’s online boutique, creates fun and original gift wrap, which means I will no longer have any excuse for using last Sunday’s comics.

I adore these swinging little birdie earrings at Figs and Ginger. Really all of their jewelry rocks.

I have long been a fan off the double-dutch rings by glass artist Amy Johnson and goldsmith Cynthia Archer.

Word on the street is that this Minimalist Desk Calendar, by Sure As Blue, is going to come and live at my desk so my days at work will be a little less daunting.

Valerie of Stained Glass Visions has an “oh so pretty” tribute to Georgia O’Keefe. She is my talented mother, and I have unsuccessfully been trying to snatch this panel from her for some time.
