With Much Gratitude


I've been behind in all the things I want to blog about. Recently I was given two blog awards from two artists I greatly admire and respect.

1) Laurie Beth Beggin from The Looking Glass honored me with the "Arte Y Pico" Award which is The Creativity and Art Award. I am of course humbled that she thought of me for this and thank her for the kindness.
2) Sharon at Manamoon was kind enough to include me in her list of blogs for the Sweet Home Blogger Award. I can't say enough kind things about Sharon, she is very supportive of other artists and has the most wonderful jewelry. She is also a graphics artist so multi-talented!
Unfortunately I can't award these honors back to either artist so am choosing five of my favorite artists to receive both awards. I hope you find their work as inspirational as I do.
* Secret Leaves - I can't begin to describe the beauty of these handmade journals. Sharon has an amazing blog that you will find inspiration in abundance. Including her photo stream on Flickr that is beyond beautiful. *sigh*
* Christine Mason Miller - Her talent is as wide as it is tall. She can be whimsical or serious and in all respects simply wonderful art. Be sure to explore her blog, her Etsy store and the loads of other works on her site. I think you will be as amazed as I have been.
* Abigail A. Percy - Inspirational and talented her jewelry ROCKS. Beautiful, simple and sublime.
* Tartx - Tiffini Elektra X. - Her website is beautiful and her art work is wonderful.
* Cherry Coloured - My Secret Favorite Blog of all time! The blog is its own work of art.
