This blog site is for artists and designers who love what they do and sometimes don't have time to do what they love. It is about finding a spark of inspiration when it's raining inside your head and you are facing a deadline.<br /><br /> It is also about finding balance - time for family, friends, pets, tennis and yes, cleaning, cooking, laundry - AND being a successful artist. (By successful I mean an artist who participates in shows and sells his or her work. I think that anyone who is creative and finds a way to make art is successful. In the context of this blog, I am referring to making money by selling the fruit of your creative labor).<br /></span> <span style="font-family:lucida grande;"><br /> This blog will occasionally refer to the beads - those amazing artifacts that we humans have utilized for thousands of years for adornment and self-expression.<br /><br /></span> <span style="font-family:lucida grande;">Finally, I hope you have linked here because you have enjoyed something about my website / jewelry / photographs.<br /></span> <span style="font-family:lucida grande;"><br /> Thank-you for visiting!</span></span><br /></span></span></span></span></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2866356634892097287-8543331582411436231?l=thebeadmuse.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Bead Musehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04652067384340182665noreply@blogger.com0
