Shana! Congratulations, I hope you enjoy your books. Send me an email at carolyn at capappasart dot com with your mailing address and I will gladly mail off your Beanys. Thank you for everyone who entered my giveaway. I am already thinking of more things that I can give away in the future.
- AutumnLeaves shared this link for handmade stringed musical instruments. I am personally trying to go out of my way to try to support people like this. I have decided that my new personal mission will be to avoid the “corporate crap” chain retailers in favor of the small business owners who are the backbone of the economy. Plus, the quality is usually superior.
- Shana shared this TED talk about what adults can learn from children. I think this is so true because most adults don’t take children very seriously. I think children can be some of the best judges of character out there and they also are more creative than many adults.
- Carol C. shared a link to Geninne’s Art Blog. I’m actually surprised that I never came across this blog before because it has such a huge following. I really love the way she is designing her house and studio. It really looks like something out of a magazine.
- Sketch Gurl shared a link to The Daily Mind and the blog of Dr. Wayne Dyer. I didn’t get a chance to read through these in depth, but they look like good self-development blogs that I should dig deeper through.
And because I don’t like to make posts without showing a drawing, here is something I did the other day after I found a stash of old teacups in the basement. I sketched some of them in black pen and then later added the background color on the computer. For really good teacup and tea related artwork, check out Kimberly Shaw. She also facilitates tea swaps which look really interesting and she sells greeting cards and other gift items from her shop.
