Holiday Gifts for You: Jewelry Artist Magazine and More

  Oh so many things are running through my mind that I don’t know where to start…  First and foremost: the Dec. issue of Jewelry Artist magazine is out!  The article I wrote on metal etching is in this issue, kind of like a gift to everyone (if it’s useful).  I was also interviewed for the Trends article in this issue.  Let me know what you think about either the project article or the interview!  I’m always interested to hear your thoughts.

  Another gift for the season can be found at one of Lisa Vollrath’s websites: http://countdown.tentwostudios.com

  There you’ll find new clip art for downloading every day.  It’s like a clip art Advent calendar! You can use the images for collage, in altered arts, etc. as you wish.  Isn’t that fun?  Lisa does this every year and if you don’t know, her other websites are:  http://gomakesomething.com and http://www.lisavollrath.com as well as www.tentwostudios.com   All of her websites offer great inspiration and fun stuff.  I especially like gomakesomething.  There are all sorts of instructions, free printables, challenges and projects there.  If there’s one thing about Lisa, she’s extremely creative and lucky us! She’s generous with her creativity, too!

  I hope you find some worthy things in these resources to inspire you this season and through the year.  I think creativity is a gift and if we all share some, we all have some!
