Kate Has Done It Again!

Remember the challenge I had earlier? I posted some images of the works of Richard Shilling as a challenge and Kate Clawson of Organic Odessy was the winner. Read about it {HERE}

This is the image that inspired Kate. It is called Mayday.

And this is Kate's entry . . . don't you just love it?

Well, when I told Kate she was the winner, she said she wanted to do something special for me. I had no idea . . .

Earlier this week I got a package in the mail. I knew right away it was from Kate because I know she makes her own mailing packages from calendar pages and magazine covers.

Look what I found inside! Miniature Mayday Earrings.

They are just a bit large for my style, but I will hang them in my studio area as a reminder of my creative friends.

If you were to collaborate, what would you do and who would you want to work with? Do Tell!

And the Winner of the Bracelet Challenge is. . .

Kate Clawson of Ongoing Explorations of an Organic Artist.

Here is her entry! Check out her blog {HERE} to read about her inspiration and process. Thank you, Kate, for your beautiful submission.

And thank you to Richard Shilling for allowing me to use his beautiful Land Art for the challenge.
(Psst, Kate! Send me your address to artymezia{!at}yahoo{dot}com and I will send you your pound of beads!)

Sneak Peek at the Bead Soup Swap

My Bead Soup Swap partner is Heather Pyle. She posted yesterday what she is sending me (sly snicker, hands rubbing in glee).

This is what I am sending her:

Heather is a polymer clay artist and she loves working in color. She is also an art quilter like me. She commented that she loves to incorporate lampwork glass into her pieces ("hint, hint") so I have included three from Lisi, right in the middle there. The rest of the beads are amethyst, dyed fossil beads, dyed Freshwater pearls, some cloisonne, one of my hand-made clasps, and the focal is carved stone in the shape of two fish.

I hope Heather likes what I have sent to her. I am looking forward to seeing what all the other participants do with all the beady goodness that will be revealed the week beginning June 19th. Stay tuned!

Also, The LandArt Bracelet Challenge is still on -- Send me your photos of bracelets inspired byRichard Shilling's Land Art. See this post for more information.
