Albina McPhail rides again ...

Just catching up on a lot of other people's posts from the summer and found a couple of pretty things as usual over at Albina's blog. She's off soon for a month to Ireland. Land of the redheads, Jenny! What a great trip that will be!

Day at the Beach

Yesterday we did the unthinkable. Spent the day at the beach. Which was great because there were so many free models just lying there. Filled up a couple of sketchbooks with some terrible drawings. Here are my favorites... but remember, they are just scribbles...

The word for the day is ... nature ... as in get in touch, back to and true nature.

A pair of lovely earrings we just received from the VERY talented Jenny Vorwaller. Jenny contacted me last month about her work and we were thrilled to do so. These earrings will debut in the shop this week along with a dozen other one of a kind items from her collection made especially for artstream, from vintage beads!
