Barbara Lewis Guest Curator I love what Steve Jobs said, "You can only connect the dots in retrospect." When you've lived as long as I have, that's a lot of dots ... Greer O'Neill Greer's posts are so down to earth and genuine and this is just another example of one by this very creative jewelry artist. I think everyone needs one of these tools! I know my husband would love to have one!   Christine Damm Christine's post brought back memories of art school. I remember the vulnerability I felt during my first drawing and painting critiques. It felt so personal. It was if my art professor was rummaging through my underwear drawer. I lived through it and came to look forward to these sessions! Christine is an awesome talent who pushes the limits of polymer clay.   Deez News I absolutely love people who have a sense of humor and particularly those who laugh at themselves. Even her sidebar quip — "Kippers" ... Kids in Parents' Pockets Eroding their Retirement Savings" cracks me up. I don't know why I'm laughing ... I've got a coupla those!

Denise Hahn Guest Curator As a child, making art saved me ... it saved me from book reports and other mundane projects! As I grew into my teenage years my love for creativity segued into theater as I designed costumes and sets for my high school plays ...     The Vintage Emporium Her love of my artwork validated me.   Kim Caldwell Without her Artistic Bliss events I would have never found these amazing friends.   flax & twine I love the simple beauty of this design.
