Thank You, Part 3

I'd like to show my appreciation to the people you have included me in their treasuries these last several weeks.

Mariola of Found300 MVS Glass included my Snowflake in her Winter Joy treasury.  Mariola creates beautiful stained glass panels, fused glass items, wind chimes, jewelery and much more.  I really love her Abstract Art Fused Glass Pendant.  What lovely winter colors!


MaggeeG of Cards by Maggey included my Herringbone Necklace in her Extravagant, Elegant and Essential treasury.  Maggee loves photography.  Her cards feature photos she has taken or watercolor art she has painted.  She also offers prints of some photos.  I just love this photograph: Old Abandoned Shed -  old farm buildings are so picturesque! 



Robin of Once Upon a Time Crafts for included my Natural Beauty Dragonfly Necklace and Horsetail Falls Bracelet in her Poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for... treasury.  Robin is a third generation quilter.  She has been selling her handmade quilts, dolls, and woven paper hearts at craft shows for 30 years; now we can find her on-line.  I really love this Embroidered Garden Angel.  She makes me look forward to spring!

Thank You, Part 2

I'd like to show my appreciation to the people you have included me in their treasuries in December.

Sheryl of Sher Hasting Designs included my Dance of the Veils Bracelet in her Fun Fun Fun treasury.   Sheryl is a talented professional designer.  She is also one of my blogging friends.  Her blog is called My Creative Space and is always fun and interesting to read.  Sheryl offers PDF digital images for crafters to use in scrapbooking, card making and other craft projects.  I am really drawn to these images of tea pots in her Tea Time Graphic Art and Clipart Set - I love to drink tea, especially in the winter!  Sheryl has a tea pot for every occasion here:


Vanessa of Vanessa Story Designs included my Dance of the Veils Bracelet in her I'll Have a Blue Etsy on Christmas Inspired by Nature Gift Ideas treasury.  Vanessa was an assistant silversmith to her mother as a child, and as a young adult she was a colorist for her mother's  illustrations. These days, Vanessa makes jewelry, jewelry boxes and paintings.  She is deeply inspired by nature in her art and jewelry.  I really love this Turquoise Necklace with Spider Web Design - Vanessa has such an interesting story to go with it; be sure to check it out!

Kalyn of Kalyn Designs included my Beaded Snowflake Ornament in her Snowflakes Keep Falling! treasury.  Kalyn makes lovely wedding accessories.  I especially like her Red Hydrangea and Berries Hair Comb.  It is so pretty!


Pylly of Sending Love Gallery included my Icy Snowflake Ornament in her Midnight Snow treasury.  Phylly makes beautiful jewelry from precious metals, gemstones, pearls and art glass.  I really love the dark iridescence of her Black Pearl Bracelet.  I think this bracelet would dress up any outfit.


Candan of Candan Imrak included my White Snowflake Ornament in her Mother of Pearl Holiday Gift Ideas treasury.  Candan lives on a beautiful peninsula in Turkey, where she makes wonderful lampwork beads.  As a beader, lampwork beads have a special place in my heart.   I really love the deep, rich organic colors in her Kilim Lampwork Glass Earrings.
I have more thank you features to post.  Stay tuned for another update.  In the meantime, I would like to thank all of you for being a great community.  I hope you are having an awesome new year!

Rock Candy Jewellery Studio included my Sparkling Snowflake Ornament in her Let it Snow... treasury.  Rock Candy Jewellery makes beautiful jewelry featuring natural stones.  One of my favorites is Mystical...Sterling Silver Rainbow Moonstone Necklace.  I love the iridescence in this necklace!


Gidget of Full of Light Photography included my Beaded Snowflake Ornament in her Ice Blue treasury.  Gidget uses the process of Natural Illumination to capture the heart, light and essence of what she is photographing.  This print... Fine Art 8 x 10 Print - Plants - Balance is just beautiful!


 I have many more people to thank, but I think 5 features in one blog post is enough.  I will continue with more thank you features in a few days.

As always, thanks to all of you for being a fantastic community.

I was very fortunate to be featured in two beautiful treasuries this week.  I'd like to take a moment to thank the curators of these treasuries.

The first treasury is Pablo Picasso Turns 130 by Alexia of Porcuprints.  Thank you for including my Dance of the Veils bracelet, which, as it happens, was my entry in the Etsy Beadweavers Picasso Challenge.  Alexia designs and prints beautiful wood engraving and letterpress fine art prints.  I just love this elegant Flamingos Wood Engraving Print:

I had the very good fortune to be included in 3 treasuries this week.  These posts get kind of long when I include an image of the treasuries.  I've decided just to include a link so as to keep the focus on the featured item from each curator's shop.

The first one is The Peak of Fall Colors by Andrea of Andrea's Hobby Studio.  This is a beautiful autumn treasury; thank you for including my Picasso Inspired Bracelet. Andrea makes lovely knitted scarves, gloves, and jewelry.  I just love these Kitted Fingerless Gloves in her shop.


Next is another beautiful fall treasury The Colors of Autumn by Angelina and Elizabeth of Angelina Elizabeth.  Thank you for including my Picasso Inspired Bracelet.  Angelina and Elizabeth make a wonderful variety of items.  This gorgeous Ruffled Scar in Knit is perfect for autumn.



The third treasury is Red Apples Straight from the Tree, a wonderfully seasonal collection by Yali of Art and Accessories by Yali Paz-Gilboa.  Thank you for including my Gothic Rose Amulet Bag.  Yali makes the cutest fabric brooches!  This one, Emma the Flapper Girl, is so flirtatious and fun!
