Look how sweet!
Monica aka The Happy Zombie sent me this adorable needlebook (it's the project she did for
my magazine!) (psssst...Monica just revealed her new line of fabrics to be launched later this Spring...you gotta see it!)
And look at the amazing necklace that Leslie sent me. It's also a project featured in the
magazine and I think it's ingenius! It's made from a tiny vintage salt shaker...the best part? You can unscrew the bottom (top?) and keep a treasure inside! Love it!
Find detailed directions for both projects in the
spring issue of inspired ideas. It's practically free...$3.30! That's not a latte!
And here's something I made for my friend
Melissa. She asked 18 others to make 6" x 6" heart pages and she's going to stitch them together to make a fabulous "paper quilt" for her bedroom wall. Isn't that fun? Her birthday was on Valentine's day and this is a part of her celebration... I can't wait to see it all put together!

Amy, I just have to say I love your Spring Inspired Ideas! It is filled to the brim with wonderful goodness!
A few years ago I began thinking about the similarities and differences in the different processes that are used in separate art forms (painting, music, poetry, stone or marble sculpture, etc.) Of the four I just mentioned, only stone cut and marble cut sculpture starts with something (the raw materials of stone or marble) and then the artist destructively eliminates materials to create the art. Poetry, music and painting generally are created from nothing (no materials from which to take away from) thus the artist creates the art constructively (adding materials such as letters, words, musical pitches, rhythms, brush strokes of wet paint, etc.). I once made this simple analysis of the stone sculpture process, I knew that its importance would be significant and valuable to me eventually. After almost a year of thinking about a way in which I could apply the principle of destructive creation (versus constructive creation), I finally had some brand new ideas (at least they were brand new ideas to me) for a new creative way (process) to write music. I found ways to apply this to general musical compositional processes and form. I'm sure there are more ways to apply the principal that I have not yet thought of. If I told you my own discoveries it might hinder you from discovering your own and going beyond what I was able to do. I encourage you to think deeply about how you might be able to apply destructive creation into new musical writing processes. Now, comes the exchange part. If you are exchange from your limited pile up, its better to take someone who has guitar skill with you as to facilitate person can leader you in making the respectable decision. If you are exchange online, at hand are many guitar reviews on the internet and you can discover enjoyable beginner guitars and certain pretty enjoyable deals. Remember to sort out your follow a line of investigation previous to exchange. The guitar remains one of the most interesting of all musical instruments. If it was not for the guitar, one could make a very credible argument that the entire genre of rock and roll would not exist. The image of the virtuoso guitarist has long since contributed to the amazing myth of the rock and roll icon. Interestingly, in certain classical circles, the guitar had a much longer climb to receiving valuable acclaim. Standard Tuning
