'i found i could say things with color and shapes
that i couldn't say any other way -
things i had no words for.'

first, our weekly designer -
kristi bowman... i love how she balanced the colors in these earrings... to see more of her work you can visit here and here... oh, and no pressure kristi - but i want to see some of your bronze clay pieces entered soon!
barbara came up with a call theme that at first almost shocked me in its vibrancy... i tend to feel more comfortable with the neutral, worn and subdued ... but in her choice i saw the enamels i have in my home - i saw the fiestaware we eat off of each day... i saw richness - and fun...
i would like to offer 2 mini giveaways with a quick turnaround time and winner announcement next saturday...
keith o'connor purple raku bead, marsha neal studio porcelain charm in brown, swirled apricot lampwork glass by linden avenue designs and a couple of my own deep red trade beads...
more colorful marsha neal studio charms, keith o'connor orange raku and trade beads...
truly one of the gifts of a group blog is working with other members to create something interesting for those who visit... and it can take you out of your comfort zone which is an excellent thing...
just leave me a comment -
and congratulations kristi!

I gravitate toward using neutrals in my designs, but this year I want to incorporate more color. I'd love to win one of these sweet prizes!
Wow! Beautiful color combo and not one I would normally pick out for myself to use.
Love these beads!!! karna
