Novica

You have an idea. You begin creating. But it does not come out the way you envisioned it. Or you wake up with no inspiration. You think "tomorrow will be better". But, then a lot of tomorrows go by and still no inspiration. If you are an artist, then you have been here and done that.

When I get into this funk, I visit one of my favorite websites, Novica. Novica works in associaton with the National Geographic to provide an avenue for artisans from developing countries to sell their creations to customers worldwide. My, oh my, what talent! See for yourself.

This is a necklace by Busarin, who is from Thailand. I love flowers and you see a lot of them, both in my paintings and jewelry. What beautiful flowers she creates with gemstones and wire.
