Totally awesome jute weaving! This would make a stunning wall hanging with just a few flowers and a simple curtain rod!

 

La Belle Bride
My second most favorite material in the world is burlap! I adore this little burlap flower tutorial! Remember that burlap comes in many colors and dyes very easily too so you can really get a nice variation going with these.

I met Lara through a challeng blog I hosted. Since then, she's become a friend, and one of the biggest inspirations in art. I love her work.

I love reading her blog as well as visiting her on flickr to see what things she shares there. I love her eye for beauty in the everyday.

Lynn Krawczyk Lynn Krawczyk Guest Curator
I'm a firm believer that everything in this life happens for a reason. It's not always easy to see it when you are in the midst of it, particularly if an event is a less than pleasant experience, but when the dust settles and youire able to sit back, you can see the purpose like a blaring neon sign. And then everything makes perfect sense ...

Lynn Krawczyk:
Loving the imperfect print.
  The Cart Before the Horse:
Jo is not only a phenomenal doll maker, her humor and take on life is a breath of fresh air.
  Melody Johnson:
Melody is an art quilter with an endless source of design inspiration. Her work is strong and her voice as an artist strong, matter-of-fact and incredibly likable.
