Very dynamic & fun! :-D<BR/><BR/>AquaMaureen - you make such beauty w/such simple things - I am in awe! I love this piece - the color, the movement in the lines - just catches my eye in a very pleasant way! :-)<BR/><BR/>AlloverArt - what a fun spring ring! Yes, let the bees out & celebrate the flowers to come! :-D<BR/><BR/>mkcphotography - again, such beauty in simplicity. I can't even put into words all the stuff that goes through my mind looking at your pic. You've really struck a chord w/me w/that one. :-)<BR/><BR/>BearChick - yes, indeed let's dance! Pretty pink & sparkles - how can you miss? :-)<BR/><BR/>Merherio68 - I hear you - so many ideas, so little time! :-) Love the one you chose - both for the picture itself and the reminder that you can still create beauty out of the 'impediments' along the way. :-)<BR/><BR/>SalvagedExpressions - your drawing is very much a meeting of opposites, somehow. There's a story behind those two - very interesting to figure out what. In the meantime, I'll enjoy the lines and the movement in your piece. :-)<BR/><BR/>SleeplessImagination: Such joy and/in color and a wonderful quote! The perfect antidote to a germ-filled week. :-) Thank you! :-)<BR/><BR/>OurNameisMud, sorry to read you've been having a trying week - may it get better soonest! :-) "...underglaze and LOTS OF ANGST." *HEE!* :-D<BR/><BR/>GlassElements, beautiful dancing colors in your pendant - so pretty-sparkly! :-)<BR/><BR/>PeacoxCreations - such a kyoot top! :-) (And I am totally in awe of your fast fingers!) Do you ever make these in adult sizes? :-D<BR/><BR/>BackwardGlances, gorgeous dragonfly! :-) Yes, I can totally see the lady waltzing across the floor w/that in her hair! :-)<BR/><BR/>APaperBuffet - so true! :-) And such an elegant way of conveying it! :-)<BR/><BR/>PersistentGreen - love the colors & shapes in your piece! Reminds me of the Great Dance that all the plants are doing around here right now. Everywhere everything is rushing to thrust itself through the earth & get on w/the biz of this year's growth. Such joyous enthusiasm - can't beat it! :-)<BR/><BR/>MoonofGlass, such a pretty, ruffly vase - awesome as ever! :-)<BR/><BR/>AnotherBrightIdea, love your "On w/the Dance!". Another great reminder to stay in the high places even when you're not really feeling them just at the mo'. :-P Thank'ee's! I needed that! :-D<BR/><BR/>Abby's Dance - So true, that pure innocence. Another good thing to remember. :-)<BR/><BR/>Giraffelabel, your story is awesome & so is your drawing! Again, there's a character & a story waiting to come forth from that pic, even more than the true story you've already told - would love to hear what comes next! :-)<BR/><BR/>CaffeinatedFrenzy - very kyool scarf! Wonderfully lacy, and w/the gold sequins that look like coins. Love the reminder that prosperity is all around us, no matter what is going on in the larger world at the mo'.<BR/><BR/>And again, awe at the fast fingers around here! How y'all can make these huge pieces in a week - wow! :-)<BR/><BR/>Hey, Natasha, I totally hear you about the bead-obsessed! :-D Love what you've done w/the choices of color & texture. :-) Proof once again that all you need to do is trust yourself and the most wondrous creations will come forth! :-D<BR/><BR/>Yes, indeed, let's all play! :-)<BR/><BR/>Bright Blessings & Good Fortune! :-)<BR/>-BirdPhoenyx Ravenswinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14316005223260076622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1438262482678835889.post-84967528417366829412009-04-04T06:53:00.000-07:002009-04-04T06:53:00.000-07:00Christening Gown Mom - I agree...it's such great w...Christening Gown Mom - I agree...it's such great work...will you be playing, particiating, submitting?

I love the little tiny flower at the top. I can't imagine trying to cut something that small. I love your shop too. I've had my eye on one of your small heart pendants for quite awhile!<BR/><BR/>Michelle - what a great story about you and your dad dancing. I love stories of fathers and daughters who like each other! It's wonderful that you photographed your favorite shoes. I like it a lot.<BR/><BR/>Lorrie -Sorry you are having a rough week. You did a great job channeling some frustration energy in a productive way. I sure do remember some dancing monkey days when I was out in the working world. Now the dancing monkeys are my wild little kids!<BR/><BR/>Amanda - I LOVE your painting! I'm a big fan of watercolor and paintings with bright colors splashed over the canvas. This is such a beautiful picture. I have a couple of questions for you: Is the background color done in watercolor or is it another type of paint? Was it done on canvas or on hard board of some kind? Wonderful!<BR/><BR/>Natasha - I love beads too. I finally had to cut myself off from purchasing beads because I had established quite a collection. I think your bracelet is great! The fact that it is multi-strands is quite impressive to me. Wonderful colors and I love the pendant. I'm sensing another creative direction for you... (If you're like me you don't need another creative direction). :)Laura Pughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04349259417410528900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1438262482678835889.post-16649378230271855212009-04-02T11:54:00.000-07:002009-04-02T11:54:00.000-07:00don't know which one is my favourite today :-)just...don't know which one is my favourite today :-)<BR/><BR/>just sorry I couldn't participate but workload might ease off soon-ish.<BR/><BR/><BR/>...now where did that monkey go?...Iris O'Connorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00229821821441499273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1438262482678835889.post-50317255683851046022009-04-02T11:53:00.000-07:002009-04-02T11:53:00.000-07:00Ok favorites this week: Silver lake's Boogie Night...Ok favorites this week: Silver lake's Boogie Nights, It's just such a fun piece.<BR/>Allover Art, Flight of the Bumblebee, A great interpretation of the theme and really great for spring. <BR/>Moon Glass, I hope you Dance, The ripples on the top remind me of how a dress billows out when you spin in it. <BR/>Caffeinated Frenzy's scarf, it's definately beautiful and mysterious!<BR/>Natasha/Doodle I love your bracelet!

They feel honest, like they have history and you can picture the person staring at it for hours while waiting in waiting rooms or wherever imagining whole worlds from the interplay of the pieces. <BR/><BR/>Also, Thank You everyone!
