Journal Update- July 6th, 2008

Been busy rearranging the new apartment and getting things a bit more organized. Haven't created much art in the past few weeks because of this but things are settling down and I should be submitting some new work soon, I've got a few works in progress at the moment. I haven't started yet, but I may do a few Astrological Sign manipulations. I'm sure that if I do finish and submit them I'll wind up editing them a lot so I'm holding off at the moment.

Also, meet Bailey. A new addition to the apartment. He's 9 weeks old. [link]

Hope everyone had a good Fourth of July, I spent mine in Jersey, Still recovering, and going back to work.


Astrological Signs
I have started to do a series of Astrological Signs, and began with my sign- Sagittarius. Hope you all enjoy them, and PLEASE comment and critique. I'm still so new to manipulations.


Point of Interest- Sheila's Inspired Designs

A friend of mine recently opened a shop with etsy and is selling some very summer jewelry inspired by her travels. Everything from dangling earrings to beaded bracelets and anklets. Here's an excerpt from her site. Check it out!

Within my store, you will find feminine and romantic jewelry designs in several styles using silver, sterling silver, copper, glass beads, czech glass beads, shell beads, Swarvosky Crystals, semi-precious stone beads, and beads of various mediums. All of my designs are inspired by my travels. Each piece is unique and has an authentic experience behind it. I am a wandering soul. I love travelling the world and experiencing other cultures. I examine the world with a very open mind and take in all that I possibly can. Shapes and colors from my travels influence, and are incorporated into, everything that I make. Many of my pieces have a European flair derived from my experiences in some of the most besutiful places in Europe. I'm a beach girl at heart, so you will also feel a coastal vibe in my artistry.
