giving credit where credit is due

i am very fortunate (and excited) to have an article in the current belle armoire jewelry magazine... when i made that proposal, i looked at some of my favorite pieces and tried to find what they had in common... now i try to work from an idea first... 


as a result, the article had 3 techniques in it and went slightly (ok, a lot) over the word count... in the resources section, i had put links to the talented ceramic artists who had inspired me... but it was edited out - i am very sorry for this ladies... even when the copy arrived in my mailbox this week, i felt terrible that readers wouldn't know who was responsible for the components that allowed me to create the pieces they were looking at... 


so here i would like to make a sort of amends - 

breaking down the walls

beautiful rusty crusty button by lisa peters ... small charm by marsha neal ... gorgeous glass by marie marchand at bleu verre... 

on wisdom

wonderful wisdom bead by diane hawkey... earthenwood beads by melanie brooks... 


if you haven't seen the work done by these very talented women, i strongly encourage you to visit their blogs and shops...
