While you nourish your creative spirit by reading this newsletter, don't forget your creative body needs nourishment inside and out!
This is a great place to look for articles (or your favourite artist!) in past issues of byhand.
Recently Joe Pogan joined the byhandartists. When he told us what he did and showed us his website, well, we were blown away!
You really have to see these
sculptures up close, which you are able to do on Joe's website.
In his own words:
"I create animal sculptures using various "found metal" objects like old watches, sprockets, nuts and bolts. The stranger the piece of metal the better, since the end goal is an eye-catching, fascinating amalgamation of metal with odd nooks and crannies you can explore for hours."
Make sure you watch the video on his site!
Joe also has a blog well worth checking out!
Amazing! Thanks for sharing with us!
Each purchase you make through this site helps to
keep it going.

Books to InspireI usually review one book at a time, but if you want to be inspired, both these books are fabulous eye candy! Each of the authors are experts in their fields and have just the most exquisite taste. I could pour over these books for hours! |

Pretty Little Thingsby Sally Jean Alexander
Even if you never plan to solder anything, this book is a treat! I met Sally Jean a few years ago when we
were both in Nina Bagley's class at Artwerx. |
Mixed Media Explorationsby Beryl Taylor
I'm sure you've seen Beryl Taylor's work.
It's on the page you've suddenly stopped at in your random flipping
through many magazines. Her work has that irresistible *something*.
Beryl's way of assembling little bits and pieces and stitching them
together show delightful attention to the details. It's easy to pore
over one picture and see many things to inspire your own creations.
And she knows how to combine colours. The word delicious, springs to mind whenever I open the pages of Mixed Media Explorations. Yum! |
