<div style="font-family: Perpetua; font-size: 24px; text-align: center;">
<div style="font-size: 18px;">
I am being called back to (my roots) </div>
<div style="font-size: 18px;">
to add some more beadwork to my line of Jewelry this year…</div>
<div style="font-size: 18px;">
I shopped the Bead Show this weekend.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Bradley Hand';">
Look at all the Beauties that I found!!</div>
<div style="font-size: 18px;">
This is how it all began for me…</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Curlz MT'; font-size: 36px;">
stringing beads</div>
<div style="font-size: 18px;">
After starting to work with metal and the thrill of something new, </div>
<div style="font-size: 18px;">
I put my beaded jewelry aside. </div>
<div style="font-size: 18px;">
This past season, however, I added a few Beaded Bracelets to my line and absolutely loved my </div>
<div style="font-size: 18px;">
Metal pieces paired with my Beaded designs.</div>
<div style="font-size: 18px;">
The change of textures when layering the jewelry makes a statement.</div>
<div style="font-size: 18px;">

<div style="font-size: 18px;">
I loved the neutral colored beads with my brass and rhinestone that I used last season, but this year I am going to mix in…you guessed it </div>
<div style="font-family: 'Carnivalee Freakshow'; font-size: 42px;">
<span style="font-family: 'Wingdings 3';">a</span>Turquoise</div>
<div style="font-size: 18px;">
I started beading as a young girl when I lived in Colorado. One day while out with my parents we went in to a shop on Pearl St. in Boulder and of course it was named “Pearl” .</div>
<div style="font-size: 18px;">
It was a Bead shop that was filled with so many beautiful colorful beads and stones. I could create my own jewelry…WHAT?!!</div>
<div style="font-size: 18px;">
I had never seen anything like it before. </div>
<div style="font-size: 18px;">
So like a kid in a candy store, </div>
<div style="font-size: 18px;">
I fell in love with the colors and textures of Beads. </div>
<div style="font-size: 18px;">
I would ride the Boulder Bus down to Pearl St. </div>
<div style="font-size: 18px;">
and get a fix whenever I could!</div>
<div style="font-size: 18px;">
This was my first calling.</div>
<div style="font-size: 18px;">
So what better way to start beading again then with the Bead of the West, my Turquoise.</div>
<div style="font-size: 18px;">
You don’t see Turquoise with Brass and rhinestones, </div>
<div style="font-size: 18px;">
so this is my starting point.</div>
<div style="font-size: 18px; min-height: 21px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 18px;">
I am so excited to get in the studio and play around with my new <span style="font-family: 'Curlz MT'; font-size: 24px;">Beads</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 18px;">
Take a walk down memory lane…and listen to some…</div>

On the Road Again</div>
<div style="font-size: 18px;">
</div>
<div style="font-size: 18px;">
in preparation to pack up my goods and hit the road!</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hard to believe with the weather we have here in the midwest that show season is just around the corner. Almost time to pack up the white tent and tables and head out for new people, places and adventures on the road. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">(for those of you that know me, that is a lot of stuff) </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">and a few boxes of jewelry to my shows this season.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I have always envisioned one of those cute vintage campers you see on Pinterest</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> or an old beat up vintage truck, never in my dreams was it my parents Van? </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">However…they kindly offered to sell it to me rather then trading it in </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">and well it's kind of vintage (it's used). </span></div>

<span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I have started designing tattoo inspired inspirational tee's. This has been on my list of things to try for a long time. I love the way they turned out and now my tshirts "Tart Tat Tees" will be available along with my jewelry, other artists jewelry and/or works and a few vintage goodies at my shows.</span></span><br />

I can't believe it is Valentine's week already. This year is moving along at a fast pace.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have been stuck inside with our cold arctic weather here in the Midwest and have started making plans for the spring and summer months. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With that being said, T-Art traveling art will officially be launched this spring. I am working on my designs as well gathering other artists work, vintage goodies & other finds to bring on my travels to different shows as well as to private homes & business's for trunk shows.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Praying for a more forgiving spring and summer (weather wise) for all of us. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you are interested in booking a spring or summer trunk show contact me for a date (local only)</div>

at t-art@comcast.net</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
For those of you who have started watching the Sing Off...This is by far my absolute favorite Acapella performance (for that matter any performance) and it just happens to have Jewel in it.<br />
<br />
The song Water is Wide was performed by the Indigo Girls, Jewel and Sarah McLachlan during Lilith Faire in 1997. The Acapella part is at the end of the song. The harmonies are gorgeous and the acoustic guitar solo by the Indigo Girls is absolutely beautiful.<br />
<br />
Four of my favorite singers brought together. I hope you stop and take a listen. If you are a fan of any of these girls, you will not be disappointed! Just Sayin :)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript">

Now that the weekend is over it is time to get busy for my next show Hobnob in Danville, IL.<br />
I am so excited to do this vintage and handmade goods show. I think it will be hard to leave room when packing my setup for everything I will want to bring home. Where there is a will, there is a way!</div>

These two shops could not be more different, one has a very vintage, eclectic feel to it and the other has a very contemporary bright gallery one. They are very alike in that they carry unique goods & handmade artisan items and are two of the nicest people you could ever meet. I hope that if you are ever in the area of either of them you stop in and say hello!<br />

Drama darling (on right in pic) will be going back to Iowa State for her sophmore year. She has officially decided to make Journalism/Public Relations her major. So if any of you out there in blog land (come on I know there are some writers and PR folks out there) are in this profession I would love to know about the job outlook.</div>

She has had a busy summer working, taking classes and of course hanging out with friends. The time has gone by way to fast, I feel like she just got home and now we are getting ready for the return trip. House seems so empty when she is gone.</div>

We have also been to many a softball game with baby girl. There is nothing I love better then watching a good softball game, but this summer it has been HOT here in the midwest (look at the pretty grass in the background). The poor girls are holding up and us parents, well we are doing o.k.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
I have spent the summer flea marketing, canoeing, hanging out with friends and family, eating, drinking oh and motorcycle riding (more about this in another post).<br />
<br />
Until next time...hope you are all enjoying this warm dry summer. My husband keeps reminding me that snow is just around the corner so enjoy this!<br />
