Three for Thursday - Artisan Handmade
As I was toying around with the idea for a new set of blog posts, Three for Thursday became an “Aha!” moment. My plan is to feature three items from three handmade artists in each post, hopefully at least twice a month. The items will be wide ranging from a variety of materials, most, but not all, one of a kind beauties. In this inaugural post, the artists I have chosen are: Mary of PrettyGonzo; Jacki of Christie Cottage; and me, Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs. If something catches your eye, please be sure to click on the photo or the link below the picture to be taken to the item for more photos and information.

Red for Valentine's Day! Wonderful Handmade Wednesday on Indiemade
Valentine’s Day will soon be here, so I thought I’d share some mainly red handmade items from talented Indiemade artists. Now these items were purposely chosen to not be overly “Valentines” - no heart designs here! Just wonderful designs that primarily deal in many shades of red, from deep reds to vibrant reds. So these beauties obviously can be worn most any time of the year.
Bohemian Rhapsody - Wonderful Handmade Wednesday on Indiemade
It’s amazing how often my blogs are inspired by music. As you have probably noticed, music is, and always has been, a huge part of my life. For some reason, I have been listening quite a bit to the complete soundtrack to the Lord of the Rings movies. Heroic music for an awesome trilogy! It ended (for the umpteenth time) and I switched to my Pandora station. And . . . Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen started the mix of music. The song, which was released in 1975, instantly took me back to a time at university when several friends and I developed a Bohemian Rhapsody skit . . . and performed it at a university talent show! Am sure the skit was absolutely, undeniably horrible. But whenever I hear the song, it takes me back to all the hard work and laughter as we pulled the antics of the skit together. Am sure there is a photo or two around, but I have no idea where they are.
Yellers, Browns and Goldens - Wonderful Handmade Wednesday on Indiemade
The other day, as I was pondering the theme of this week’s “Wonderful Handmade Wednesday" blog post, I ran across a very colorful quote from Roy Bean talking about autumn in the desert: “And Fall, with her yeller harvest moon and the hills growin' brown and golden under a sinkin' sun.” Aha, I thought! The handmade theme of earthy yellers, browns and goldens was then set in my mind.
