There is just too much good blogging going on these days (which reminds me, I need to finish my post about the Arte y Pico award, kindly given to me by TWO fabulous bloggers, Silver Canyons and Macaroni and Glue - but I’m having a hard time choosing just five blogs to nominate!)

Today I ran across a great post titled “Of Jealous Husbands and Subliminal Inspiration” over at Thyme to Dream. Her post is about Alexander Calder, one of my favorite artists and a definite inspiration for me. Be sure to check out the links at the bottom of the post to learn more about Calder.

Then over at Lucky Girl’s blog, I found a picture of a sterling silver top she found while searching etsy.com. If you have $5400, you could own your very own silver shirt!

Over at the Fabulous Artistic Moms blog, Amy of New England Quilter was kind enough to put together a welcome to our new team members, complete with pictures from their shops.

And here’s a fun demo post of how one artist makes her sterling silver and resin earrings. If you’ve ever wanted to see the steps involved in making metal jewelry, this helps demystify it a little.
