A few months ago I created some wooden buttons for the Artisan Whimsy team. A group of their magazine contributors each created very cool pieces with my buttons and I got to see them published in the magazine! The team recently asked me to make some special pieces for them including wooden feathers and cow skulls.

This month, Cynthia of Antiquity Travelers did a nice two-page write up of my pieces and her beautiful necklace she created with them! Each of Cynthia's pieces is a work of art and this beautiful necklace is no different! I'm always in awe of how professional and well written these magazines are! I am so lucky to be included in this issue!

And if you'd like to win a set of my wooden pieces of your own, see page 73 of the magazine to submit your work and enter for a chance to win!

I recently had the opportunity to work with the Artisan Whimsy team who publishes the Bead Chat Magazine. My friend and fellow BBA member, Cynthia of Antiquity Travelers saw my post about my new wooden buttons and thought they be perfect for their 5x5 test group. The group was working with leather this month and thought the wooden buttons would be a great complement.

I must say, I am totally blown away by the Bead Chat Magazine! 100 pages of colorful, content rich-articles. This magazine should be in print it's so pretty!

And I was blown away at what the artists made with my buttons. I love all the different techniques each artist used to incorporate the buttons into their work.

And I cannot say enough nice things about the editors at the magazine. I was thrilled to be asked to contribute my wooden buttons and I was even more thrilled when I saw the article and the wonderful full-page feature they gave me as well!

 

Thank you to both Cynthia (lead editor) and Melinda (founder & chief) for allowing me to participate in the 5x5 test group and I look forward to contributing again!
