Weather or Not...

Due to our wonderful Las Vegas windy and cold weather 

I had to reschedule a second photo shoot with Reanna my new model.  

I am hoping the wind will die down for a Monday morning shoot.  

I am behind listing new items on Etsy because they look so much nicer on a human being. 

(And especially one without goose neck and age spots for sure!!)

I can't wait to show you my new boa scarves made with a 

a really wonderful new yarn Bodega by Trendsetter Yarns.

Here is a peek at the yarn.

I had a wonderful surprise this week, 

an email from Barb Delaney, assistant editor for Cloth Paper Scissors Magazine.

She notified me that she was returning my Mixed Media Jewelry entries

 for the 2012 Artisan Search for which I was chosen as a finalist

and that they had photographed one piece to include in the Jan 2012 issue. 

This is my second publication this year- so exciting!! 

I can't wait to receive my magazine!! 

I don't know which one they chose. 

These were my entries:

My "Ophelia Cuff" inspired by the Art Bead Scene Challenge based on a painting - "Ophelia" by Redon

"Peacock Necklace"-Inspired by Nature; Feathers Challenge presented by Humblebeads 

"Woodland Fairy Bib Necklace"- Inspired by Nature- Forest Floor Challenge - Humblebeads

"Woodland Fairy Cuff"- Inspired by Nature Challenge- Humblebeads

I want to thank the Art Bead Scene staff and Heather Powers at Humblebeads 

for providing the challenges that inspired me to create these pieces. 

Where do you get your inspiration? 

I just finished reading an article in the new Polymer Arts Magazine by 

Christi Friesen about Creativity.  

She is spot on with her advice on how to get inspired and stay inspired.

How do you tap or feed your creative nature?

Send me your ideas in a comment 

and I will enter you in this
