    Completed old projects..starting new



    I finally bound some old tip-in and smaller size pages into one book this week.

    I’m on a mission to finish all these UFO’s (unfinished objects) I’ve started somewhere along the line.

    I was chatting with a neighbor just this evening over the bonfire about memory and lack thereof. Is it Adult-ADD or short-term memory loss but whatever you want to call it…I’ve got it!!! Geez… I can’t walk down the 2 sets of stairs to the basement and remember what the heck it was I went down there for!
    OK…I think I’m on a tangent now….

    My original point was…I have a ton of projects started or even nearly complete but never seem to tie up all my loose ends. THAT is my new mission.

    With that said….haha…I have started a new project or more of a challenge. It’s a call for art from Somerset Memories magazine. It can be either a group or an individual using ONE IMAGE to create a multitude of art. Of course since it will be up for submission I won’t be showing what I’ve created until I’ve heard the news either way… I hope to get my projects in the mail next week for consideration.

    Grandma Olena–PUBLISHED

    The Dec/Jan issue of Somerset Memories was in my mailbox today…and why is that significant?? Only because I have a piece of art published on page 63!

    I am awaiting a reply from the publisher as to where or not I am allowed to share the image or not. Otherwise..hope you can take a peek at the magazine sometime.

    UPDATE:
    I got permission to share my published piece with you. In the magazine it’s framed but I wasn’t able to take a decent photo with it in the frame.

    This caption appears next to the photo:

    “There are very few photos of my beautiful Grandma Olena since she tragically died before reaching her 30th birthday. As a child I always wondered why she didn’t smile for her picture…I’d like to think this tribute to her would make her smile now.”

    Somerset Memories

    I am walking on cloud nine today!

    I just got an email that a piece I submitted to Somerset Memories will be published in the Dec/Jan issue!!!!! I am thrilled as you can well imagine. I can hardly wait for the magazine to come out.

    Late spring of 2008 a charm bracelet of mine will be published in a book titled 1000 Jewelry Details.
