"Ideas are like rabbits. You get a couple and learn how to handle them and pretty soon you have a dozen."
- John Steinbeck
Recently, Emmie gave me the "You Make My Day!" award. My pleasant duty is to pass on the honor by selecting ten (what, only ten?) other blogs that I can always count on to amuse, inform, inspire, or otherwise addict me.
I hereby bestow my own "You Make My Day" Awards to:
- Judy at Painted Threads -- who always has some lovely new art endeavor underway to make my fingers itchy
- Joanie at adventures of a mixed media & textile artist -- whose artistic creativity under adverse conditions is a true inspiration
- Andrea Guarino-Slemmons -- who gets me out to the glass and metal clay studio regularly trying to learn "how did she do that!?"
- Catherine at HappyDayArt! -- a source of great connections for me lately, and an incredible metal clay artist
- dj pettitt -- whose sheer productivity, not to mention creativity, is always a kick in the pants to get into the studio and work
- Nina at Ornamental -- who inspires a huge following and has made me think more about jewelry, photography, poetry and the simple beauty around us everywhere
- Loriola at the accidental jeweler -- whose way of combining media I admire
- Jen, aka Glassgirl -- whose work I love, who makes me laugh out loud, & who is a GREAT teacher
- Ruth at let the beauty we love be what we do -- one of those universe connections, who crosses almost as a many media as I do, beautifully, and collects quotes, as do I (ah, reminder, I'm supposed to start adding them here!)
- Melody at Fibermania -- for a shot of color energy, be it fiber, food, or yarn
Thanks, Emmie!
