Open Studios – Sharing Inspiration


This coming Saturday and Sunday (Oct. 16th and 17th) from 12-5pm there will be Open Studios in Natick, MA with over 50 participating artists including Gianna Bird (can you believe her cool last name?)  Gianna is one of the crows of Five Crows Gallery which also happens to be in Natick. 

Here’s a quick look at some of what you’ll find at Five Crows and BTW, my jewelry is available there as well.

 Each one of these adorable pincushions created by another Five Crows artist comes attached to a tiny plate.

I fell in love with this copper wire creation by Gianna as soon as I spotted it.

Unfortunately, her bird wasn’t for sale so of course I had to try my hand at making one.   Playing around with twisting wire was lots of fun…thank you Gianna for the inspiration.

I love how inspiration travels…from one to another, to another, and another…round and round it goes.   It’s good to share inspiration and it’s good to be open to it as well.

    Thanks for your kindness on my last post. I’ve been on an art high all week but I feel my mood dipping down today. Got to get it back up. Your photos always inspire me. Thanks Becky. 🙂
