Fabulous find while blog crawling...

I have been doing much research online this month to fulfill the challenge of posting Christmas in July every day in July for my SalonD'Arte studio blog. Wow, this was so much more work than I bargained for...and now 16 days in...I have gotten just rewards...

I purchased this on the description alone - and it was quite lengthly, but I was INSPIRED!!!

When I woke up, it was to find myself washed up on a beautiful, but empty beach. What was I suppose to do with myself until a rescue party came?! Because I KNEW they would come. I didn't have long to think, because just then a glint of something in a mass of seaweed caught me eye. I scurried over like a crab, to take a closer look.

It was a corked bottle! Was I dreaming? But no. It was real. Real cork and a fancy seal to protect the contents and catch the eye of a magpie artist like myself. The bottle was plastic so it wouldn't break on its long journey. How thoughtful! My dire situation suddenly forgotten, I went about opening the bottle to get at its amazing contents...

I was so inspired I was clicking buy before reading it fully. I came across rubyfloy [whose art was published in the latest issue of Somerset Studio Gallery (Summer 2010)] by way of another blog Alice and Camilla, a fantastic blog journal of art collage and all things altered - MY NEW FAVORITE artist! So inspirational...I will be reading every last post and visting your blogroll, too.

It is very interesting to read about other artists, their creative journey, and see who inspires them...the internet is weaving a new fabric joining artists literally everywhere.
