Check out the new group I was invited to join! Bead Art Originals is a select group of creators of bead art and beadweaving. There are some amazing artists in this group and I am truly honored to be a part of it!

EntreCard has brought a LOT of traffic to my blog and in the process I have found some great new blogs that I really enjoy reading. I am hoping that through Entrecard and the two Etsy teams, I will be able to get my name and art out there for more people to see. I love creating my beadweaving pieces and hope that I can share that love with others.

Yeah!

OK, I'm bypassing the upload thing and going straight from Flickr! Here is my piece for the Etsy Beadweaver August Challenge "Art Deco". I've called it "Stars of the Sea". Let me know what you think!

Argh!

Well, I wanted to put photos up of my "Art Deco" Challenge entry, but Blogger is apparently having issues because it won't let me upload any photos! Grrr! I will try again tomorrow when I go to list it.

Something for Fun!

As I was clicking through some blogs, I came across this little quiz. I love Jane Austen novels and thought it would be fun to see which character I would be! I think it's pretty accurate!

Take the Quiz here!

New Etsy Street Team

Just recently I was given the honor of being asked to join a new Etsy Street Team called Bead Art Originals. This is a select group of art bead creators and beadweaving artists and I still can't believe I was asked to be a part of this amazing group!

The BAO Blog has wonderful posts about the different artists involved in this group and it's really fun learning more about the artists I admire! You can also see some of the beautiful pieces created by this group and click on their Etsy shop links.

There is also a website which is still under construction, but does have some photos of BAO art and artists.

I'm really excited to be a part of this group and I'm already feeling inspired by the other members. I know this group will really push me to expand my knowledge and skills and ultimately make me a better artist.
