artful blogging

Have you heard of this publication? I had seen it in the stores and I thumbed through a friend's copy a few months ago. I finally bought a copy (using my 40% coupon at Joanns) and then the current issue. It's given me a new perspective on my blog and my own intentions for this blog.

The blogs featured in this magazine are inspiring, informative, instructional, personal, artistic and unique. Not to mention the beautiful imagery - photographs, drawing, paintings. From artists to photographers to crafters and even scrapbookers*, all these bloggers are sharing their artistic points of view in engaging ways. 

 

*I met Debee of "art as life" at a scrapbooking convention a couple of years ago when were both "fashionistas" at the now defunct ScrapinStyleTV.com.

 

Some of the blogs in the latest issue that spoke to me:

• http://allididwaslisten.blogspot.com/   colorful inspiration
  
• http://vintagehouseholdtas.blogspot.com/    vintage charm
• http://thevintagepearl.blogspot.com/ (I have piece by her! A leaf Christmas ornament with each of our names stamped on it.) 
• http://ilkasattic.blogspot.com/  gorgeous photography
• http://lobsterandswan.blogspot.com/ love the name

If you haven't picked up this magazine, I highly recommend it. Just remember to bring your coupon!
