ALWAYS excited to see where other artist’s create!
Artful Blogging… because expressing ideas takes on multi-dimensions when art is added in the mix – and somehow it makes it possible to connect the reality of details to the imaginary, and in doing so, express something even more profound that what could be done by words alone.
Love them all
Summer set studio always my favorite!

Somerset Studio. I have been working in mixed media for several months now and have accumulated a lot of paper and painted scraps. I am always looking for new inspiration. :)
I’ve loved Where Women Create from the very first issue & each one that has followed. It is inspiring to read about women who have followed and brought their dreams to life.
Altered Couture, a stellar publication, has been my passion for a very long time as well as exploring fibers and dyeing.

Destinare A Travelers Journal looks amazing in Summerset Studio looks so yummy. I love to journal and do in several different types of journals. Her colors are amazing. I tagged Summerset Studio on facebook.com/PaulaDeckerHaynes
The printing on recycled wool from the Greencraft magazine looks outstanding. This normally isn’t something that I would attempt, but the trivet is beautiful. I might have to learn. Tried posting to Facebook, but I wasn’t sure how to tag it.

thanks so much for the opportunity to win.

My favorite is Somerset Studio Magazine because of the variety of projects as well as variety of the techniques used. I use to buy it all the time, but due to medical issues I do not get out as much and I am unable to work, so my cash flow is low. I really cant afford the subscription. So, the opportunity to get a free one is tremendous. I miss all the inspiration that Somerset offers. Good luck to all!!!
I did post the Somerset Studio picture on my timeline, I did try to tag Stampington.com, hopefully you got it. I have never tagged anyone before, so hopefully I did it right…lol

Where Women Create is my all time favorite magazine! I am looking forward to seeing the “serenely white” art and sewing studio. I love to see the creative and inspirational spaces used by the ladies featured. I had always hoped someday the magazine would have a spot in each issue for an “ordinary” creative space. Show us where the everyday working mom goes to make a few cards, sew some special Halloween costumes, or lay out a few pages for the current scrapbook. We all love to see the roomy studios, but show us the small efficient spaces we can reproduce in our home!
The Willow and Sage is beautiful and inviting. The white (beige) and green are peaceful. The reader is tempted to see what “those” are used for.
I love Prims! https://www.pinterest.com/pin/206743439126431774/
