RIKI GIVEAWAYLooky, looky what my friend Riki Schumacher is giving away on her blog. Don't miss out. Her charming etched, embellished boxes have become so very popular and admired. Isn't this one so very sweet? I just love her nature theme complete with a resined egg, moss and feather. I own one of Riki's boxes and have it placed on display along with my favorite fragrances on a sterling silver tray....a constant reminder of my dear friend.
Yesterday I picked up the new Summer 2010 issue of Belle Armoire Jewelry. And Looky, Looky who is in it.....yes, my friend Riki. Her antique sterling silver napkin ring makeover is so very chic. What a gorgeous, unique cuff, Riki!
Looky, Looky.....Another good friend, Diane Cook is also featured in this issue. Diane has her version of a cuff showcased....etched and cold joined....layers of texture and bling. Check it out! FYI....Diane is the current guest curator for Crescendoh.com. Read about how art has changed Diane's life and how it can possibly change yours.
And yet another person I have the pleasure of calling friend, Deryn Mentock has her tiny tintype gems featured. My favorite is her adorable little girl turned angel. Tintypes are so fun to incorporate into mixed media art in so many ways.This issue is rich with ideas. I am constantly impressed with Stampington's layouts, photography, artists and articles.
Hope you are all having a fabulous week!

Can't wait to check this issue out! Riki, Diane, Deryn, and YOU.....all fabulous, generous, kind artist souls that make me love being an artist and blogging!!
Wow, thanks Diana, what a nice gesture to promote my little box giveaway. And feature my article!! Very kind of you to talk us up. Thanks a thousand times. Hugs, Riki
Ahhh, thank you my friend! I still don't have mine in my hands! I keep waiting and watching and looking for it every day =))
Yes, Riki's little boxes are gorgeous, and her cuffs are too. And Deryn's tin type angels are so sweet!
This issue was FULL of all our buddies! Thank you for your Birthday wishes. I indeed had a great one. Almost worth getting another year older. RIGHT? Has Riki left yet? I think I remember her saying she would by now. I know you miss her terribly. We are getting to play with Allen & Diane again. So much fun. Wish you were here with us. I MISS YOU! HUGS! Charlene
I tried to find the BA issue today at Barnes and Noble, but it wasn't there. And this is one of the very few times I actually had the money to spend on it. Darn!
Hoping it shows up soon as it sounds like a great issue.

Hi Diana~
I just sat down with the Spring and Summer issues of BAJ and I giggled and smiled when I saw both you and Riki featured!! It's always a treat to sit down with a cup of tea and slowly absorb each page of this stunning magazine. And then to see 2 women I admire, well, it truly was a treat. I so love what you create, dahling...
Thanks for the sweet comments about ROTP!!
Yes, I agree this issue is wonderful and full of great inspiration!!
