News-a-palooza
It's a little publish-y around here this month. Hee hee!
I recently had the opportunity to do artwork for Somerset Studio magazine's regular feature, With One Palette! My aqua/tangerine/berry/black artwork appears in the newest issue (July/August). The pieces in the article will be available at Boodzoo Studio over the next couple of weeks.
Stampington & Company has also included a reprint of my With a Pencil and Stencil article in the latest issue of Hand Crafted. The article originally appeared in Somerset Studio magazine in 2006. This was my first article and it came about in an interesting way:
I submitted artwork for one of Somerset's themes, hoping one would be selected for their reader gallery (Expressions). Instead I received a phone call (!) from the editor asking me to create additional artwork and an article! It was something I never expected in a million years.
I share this little story in the hopes it will inspire you to submit your work (if that's something you aspire to do). So many of us are afraid to put our work out there for fear of "rejection" or "criticism" and sit on the sidelines wondering "what if". If you're on the fence about submitting your work - do it! Do it today! You never know what might happen!
Hand Crafted is a wonderful collection of articles and projects from all of Stampington's line of publications, from Somerset Studio and Art Doll Quarterly to The Stamper's Sampler and Somerset Memories (Legacy). I can't possibly subscribe to all of these magazines, so Hand Crafted gives me the opportunity to see what's going on elsewhere. (And no, Stampington didn't pay me to say that!). Hee hee.
Enjoy!
Wow, congratulations! That's exciting.

Just picked up my Somerset today and your "one palette" piece is excellent. Funny I read this today -- I was just reading about you on someone else's blog..they had your etsy listed as a favourite. Small world in some ways.

Jeannine, I loved your art featured in Somerset Studio. I totally related to your excitement over the combo of aqua and orange. It's my favorite combo and the one that speaks the loudest to me. Love your work! Terry
