Homemade for the Holidays - Orange Magazine Feature

 

 

It's out! It's here! My sweet and whimsical nesting snowmen have been published in Orange Magazine's holiday shop local gift guide! I am so excited and so happy to see them so large on the page! Sharing my happiness with you is such a delight as I have been so eager to see my snow folk in print, and here they are!

 

 

Miss Brenda who is the editor of Orange Magazine is a real sweetie, she had contacted me after seeing my nesting snowmen here on the blog and asked if I would drop them off to be photographed for this feature. I know I told you this all before, but it's just a little recap and I am feeling super blessed to have this opportunity!

 

 

Thank you to Orange Magazine and Brenda for helping me share my artwork with the Hudson Valley N.Y. Thank you and big warm hugs!

You can visit my Etsy shop here and if you are smitten with my snow folk you may make them part of your Christmas/Winter decor by visiting them here.

 

 

Somerset Studio Publication #3

 

This will never get old... and it will always be a thrill. I am thrilled and happy... and so very blessed to share with you today my 3rd publication in Somerset Studio Magazine.

This past week I received returned artwork  from Somerset. In other words pieces they didn't accept or couldn't fit in. I know everything I send can't be published, that's not how it works. But that doesn't change the fact that  I'm still disappointed when art comes home. Two pieces returned, feeling a little sad with myself and then a trip to the post office and gift from the universe where awaited my July publication! It seems just when I begin to doubt myself... or my skills, that fate reminds me that I'm doing exactly what I'm meant to do with my life :)

 

You can find me in the July/August issue of Somerset Studio Magazine on page 119 of the Expression pages next month. It's such a joyous and over the moon feeling to see my work on a printed page in a magazine I drool over. I continue to send submissions, and will be working this summer on creating a group of art pieces along with an ajoining article in hopes of a larger publication. You never know what can happen if you don't try!
