fabulous ladies......High Honors

I am squeezing in this post while getting ready for work and trying to finish a felt flower pin for my Memere's b-day! Why does it seem that there is not enough time in the day anymore?

I have been hooking up with some wonderful artists lately! Over the fall I am going to give each and every one of them "High Honors"!  These are girls, who are not only exremely talented....they are wonderful, FUN & kind!

But before I do...I wanted to show you my first sterling piece that I made from PMC.

tadaaaaah!

It's much more difficult to work with then polimer...or the other form of clay that I use for my jewelry, but I think with some practice I'll get the hang of it.

HIGH HONORS

First I want to mention Maria from Sweden. She has a cute little web shop called Sweet Daisy...and she really does sell the SWEETEST pieces of jewelry evah! She aslo makes some wonderful looking soaps and other body products! The only thing is I'm not sure if she ships to the U.S.!? Oh Mariaaaaaaa.....give us an answer in the comments here will 'ya? Anyhoo, I am a proud owner of one of her felted bracelets, and I LOVE IT TO PIECES!

The next fabulous gal you should scope out is Yiwen from Oriental Rose. She is my jewelry gal-pal and she's a doll! She sells her pretty pieces right on her blog...so shopping is a no fuss experience! I'm thinking Christmas here people! She is enthusiastic about jewelry making, and she's probably one of the nicest souls to boot! Go give her some love!

THIS adorable chica I have mentioned before....but if I'm giving out High Honors, well then I have to mention her again, as she is much deserving! Kelly Rae is a beautiful spirit in my eyes, and it shines through in her work. She has made a big move...from comfort zone to the unknown, but she keeps on creating, working through her changes, and I really feel her work has taken on a whole new layer of light, experience and maturity! I am currently the proud owner of an original, and I'm so going to have me another piece of hers after the holidays! I am proud of you girl!

And last but not least I would like to mention a wonderful~fabulous photographer. UNFORTUNATELY she is not selling her pieces yet, but it's pure eye candy, so go over to her Flickr and check out her lovely work. When I see Melissa Webb's photos, words like, "European, dream-like, beautiful color, gorgeous composition, soothing & beautiful" come to mind. She is a lovely person, and had graciously given me permission to show you some of her work here!

It was very hard to pick just one...so...here are a couple!

hahaha...OK...I better stop...I just love ALL of her photos! xoxo

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Speaking of eye candy, I'd love to hear what you all think of this little collaboration between Hope and I??

That's right! Hope's adorable little collages framed out in my one-of-a-kind pendants.

Hopefully we'll have these done by early November!

HURRAY for talented friends!

I love all your links! These women do desire High Honors! Especially KellyRae, I love her work.

I think the collaboration between you and Hope is such a great idea and I am sure it is very rewarding and fun to work with such a good friend.
