Hey, it's the first day of a new month! I gotta say, I am pretty happy with the results of my Travelogue challenge of last month. I made several new pieces inspired by Woodland places. I wish I had integrated the ideas and inspiration more with the world of fantasy, as I originally intended, but I am glad that I have several new designs and a new kit that came out of the inspiration that I did have. I think for April I will continue along with something similar to woodland places, which is Pond Life.I can see myself making some new lillypads and watery creatures from that inspiration. We'll see where that takes me...
That's my inspiration for the day. Check out what is inspiring some of my beady friends with this week's studio links:
Ahh, butterflies! If not outside yet, you can use them in jewelry to admire their beauty. Lisa is sharing a work of art butterfly bead!
