Guest Post at the Art Biz Blog
From ArtBizSuccess.com: “It’s been a while since I’ve written about blogging, so I thought it was time to share some thoughts I’ve had and revisit some past ideas on the topic.There are plenty of benefits of blogging, but maybe blogging isn’t for you.”
Guest post at ReFab Diaries
From ReFabDiaries: “Elaine works a lot with metal, not just in her jewelry making but also her art. So it’s fitting that this tutorial involves silver. Silver leaf, to be exact. This is a great technique for giving new life to old wood pieces. In this case, picture frames.”
