Happy 4th Of July!

ArT2ThEeXtReMe In ThE PrEsS

Happy 4th of July everyone! Boy has it been a busy week. I have several Crayon orders come in that I have been working on. I am also putting up new paintings in my shop and coming out with an awesome new shirt!

Today I want to share some links where I have been featured or noticed. Also, the new crafting challenge has come out for SC Johnson's Clean Home Journal in which I am the featured Crafting Expert of the Month!

This month's theme is Eye Candy. On the site, I teach viewers how to make a clutch and wallet using candy wrappers and packaging tape! Sounds odd, but it is very cool!

Check it out for a fun craft to make. I would appreciate any comments you post on the site or any ratings you could give me ( 5 Houses is the best, 1 is the worst). 

You can also submit your own projects based on the theme in a contest. Two etsians have won in the past 2 months, so you could be next!

ETSY PRESS CLUB LINK

I was also in the recent May issue of Etsy Press Club for Clean Home Journal!

I will have more articles and fun things to share this week plus an interview with Etsian PaintedHorse, who creates wonderful bracelets and jewelry!

Be safe tonight and Happy 4th!

My Latest Purchases on Etsy!

I have stared purchasting items on Etsy now that I have some money in my paypal account and find it hard to stop now :). There are so many tallented artists here!

My latest purchase today was this LOVE BAMBOO COLLAGE PENDANT from Etsian AnnaCox (picture above). She has so many other very beautiful pendants at a great price!

I have also purchased these sparkling, beautiful EARRINGS from Jewelrybytiti. She had great communication with me and also ran a very successful BNR on Friday evening (it was the first one I had participated in).

That same night I purchased a BROWN SATIN CLUTCH from lucymoonglow. I loved the brown color and the pattern on the outside. She was also very friendly to talk to!

For my students, I purchased this FUZZY BABY PENGUIN ACEO from artbylmr, who also bough a spot in the ACEO BOOK that I am putting together. I could not resist the cute penguin.



One of my first purchases was from PurpleLicious, who makes the cutest headbands! I bough THIS HEADBAND MADE FROM VERA BRADLEY FABRIC and THIS HEADBAND.



It is so much fun to purchase art and be able to afford it for once :). Please take some time to look in these shops I have featured or post some recent purchases of your own!
