I love green -- next to purple it's my favourite colour! A few green and handmade favourites are:

coloured etched copper compoonents: http://www.etsy.com/listing/101946538/oriental-background-with-falling-leaves

hand-dyed mixed threads (in love with such bundles at the moment, even thinking of doing a proper challenge about them): http://www.etsy.com/listing/96213260/embroidery-thread-chenille-ribbon-cotton

Humblebeads cabs: http://www.etsy.com/listing/105346420/new-leaf-oval-willow-cabochon-set

radiant mind lampwork: http://www.etsy.com/listing/92888335/glass-lampwork-beads-antiquities-forest

ok, more turquoise than green -- but they glow in the dark! http://www.etsy.com/listing/60130025/glass-lampwork-beads-sea-princess-glow (I'm childish, I love glow-in-the-dark beads)

HavanBeads floral headpins (the leaves and centres are green): http://www.etsy.com/listing/104702953/lavender-sparkle-headpin-flowers-leaves

Swedish lampwork by Babs Beads: http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/product_view/babsbeadsanddesign/82282/bbd_-_flowers_in_the_sun/handmade/jewelry/handmade_jewelry_supplies/lampwork

and I must add a dragon: http://www.etsy.com/listing/15411644/porcelain-dragon

Ok, this isn't handmade (rather sea made) and barely green, but it's cool and would look great together with handmade beads/components: http://www.etsy.com/listing/98379016/2-unusual-sea-tumbled-copper-brass
