She Dreams of Art has a new home at Indie Public!

My exciting news! I've teamed up with Casie from Indie Public for my monthly column.
Some of you may remember that I used to have this column at Mindy's wonderful Wishstudio Blogzine. This doesn't mean you still wont find me there though!! I plan on submitting articles to Mindy's site as well. Mindy is relaunching her site soon, with a fresh new look....so please stay tuned! I just wanted to take SDOA to new heights, and Indie Public was the perfect match.

Indie Public is a wonderful on-line indie artist's community with over 12,000 members to date. You can create your own page, write a blog, join in on the forums and showcase your lovely handmade wares.

On the first Sunday of each month, I will publish an article featuring 4 artists. The first article is up now, and we've kicked it off with words of wisdom from the ever-so-talented Susan Tuttle! Hope you'll drop by and say hello! We've decided to add it to the forums, so hopefully the articles will open up discussions!

If you'd like to be considered for June's article then you can contact me here.

June's article will be "The Very Green Artist." Article will be based on recycling everyday "throwable" items into art. Here are a few ideas you can write about:

* How long have you been making green art and when and why did you start
* Did you grow up with a green family, or is this something you have taught yourself to do?
* Where do you find your recycables that you plan on turning into art?
* How did you or do you come up with your ideas?
* Why is it important for you to continue on this artictic path with green art?
* How do you feel the community has taken to your art

REMEMBER, these are just ideas to get you started, please write what's in your heart!
