My Google Reader - Gennine's Art Blog

My second recommendation for blogs from my blog reader is Gennine's Art Blog.

Gennine creates beautiful art - mainly of birds and nature - through painting and drawing.  Her blog also shows many photos of her "space" and covers other interesting topics including tutorials on carving your own stamps.

I love her use of color and of course, having birds as one of her main inspirations naturally draws me to her work.

And I especially like how she shows you her creations in progress...how she begins to paint, what she leaves to the end...things like that. It's fascinating to see the development of a piece as she is working on it.

Her blog is just delightful.  Happy birds everywhere....I hope you'll stop by to visit: http://blogdelanine.blogspot.com/

My google reader - Color me Katie

As I am in England at the moment, without my camera, and not having time to create, I thought I'd take a few blog posts to show you behind the scenes of my "google reader" and introduce you to some of the non-jewelry blogs that I follow. If you don't know what google reader is, it is a single place where you can read all the blogs you want to follow - without having to type in all the different urls etc.  I love it.  It is easy to subscribe to blogs, then any posts you haven't read will show up - and it just saves moving from one url to another.  If you haven't tried google reader - I'd highly recommend it.

So first up as one of the more colorful blogs that I follow is "Color me Katie".

Katie is quite a few things - including a photographer,  actress, street artist, and a lover of color.

I love to watch her little movies of her street improvisations - you need to see her blog to understand what she does!

It's just basically happy stuff.  If you've had a sad day - just looking at her blogs will brighten it for you!

She has a great spirit and really captures it in her photos.  Keep being colorful Katie! Let me know what you think and I'd love it if you recommend another blog to me too....
