Connections is the subject of this weeks focusing on life. I found it very appropriate because I received Cindy Wimmer's new book this week. It is a wonderful book filled with wire links which are connections. I can hardly wait to try making several of the links in the book. I am sure these links will improve the quality of my jewelry. I love Cindy's style. I want to thank Sally of
http://thestudiosublime.com/ for all the connections I have made this year with all of you. One of the reasons I started my blog was to connect with other beaders. Focusing on life has helped me do just that. Please take the time to check out what the other participants found for connections.
Perfect connection! Have fun with your wire work.
ReplyDeleteThanx Marlene. I am sure I will have fun learning new connections. I am starting today with a connection for the necklace I am making for my do over challenge.
DeleteWill have to check out the book! This has been a fun blog. I'm going to miss it next year.. I'll have to come up with my own ideas on things to write blogs about!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree. I look forward to Saturday mornings when I get to see what everyone else posts. The book is great.
DeletePerfect for this week's prompt! Love it when timings are just right...
ReplyDeleteYou'll have lots of fun with this book :)
I agree with perfect timing. I pre-ordered it and Cindy signed it. I feel lucky to have made a connection with her. She is an amazing Lady. I am sure I will learn a lot form this book.
ReplyDeleteI love that you used Cindy's book as your 'connection'! It's perfect. It's on my holiday wish-list. I might have to order it early so the hubby doesn't mess up the order! LOL!! :-)
ReplyDeleteThanx Shel. I highly recommend this book.
DeleteAwesome post...I too have made many, many connections with the different blogs I post too. Great way to make new friends. Thanks for the post!
ReplyDeleteThanx Vera. I enjoyed this prompt and I knew right away what I would post.
DeleteIt looks like you have a lot of connections ahead of you
ReplyDeleteI sure hope so. I have admired Cindy's style for a long time. I do like working with wire but it really helps to have great guidance.
DeleteGreat post and interpretation of the prompt this week! Everyone is talking about Cindy's book - sounds like it is a great one! Going to have to get a copy for myself :)
ReplyDeleteThanx Cynthia. It is a great book. I can see Cindy's influence in it besides the awesome links she teaches. It has a quiet elegance like Cindy herself. Great step by step photos and interesting text. I am sure it will be a go to reference for me.
ReplyDeleteLove it Becky! I had the same thought, as similarly I have just recieved my copy from Cindy (aren't you jealous of her penmanship - I sure am!) Anyway, you are so right to thank Sally as well for all these great connections, kicking myself for not hitting on that too
ReplyDeleteThanx Emma. I've been impressed with Cindy's wirework for a long time. I am so glad that she wrote this book for all of us.
DeleteAm not familiar with Cindy Wimmer and thanks for introducing me to her. I would really like to develop some wirework skills in the year ahead. And those are some amazing connections on the cover!
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome. Cindy is a wonderful person. Her book is great and I am sure it will be a go to book from now on.
ReplyDeleteOh, that looks like a book that would be of interest to me also. Have fun with it! Can't wait to see what you create.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great book and I am really glad I bought it. I am sure I will make lots of connections from it.

ReplyDeleteThanx Beti. I am sure it will be a go to reference.
DeleteAh, 'the' book of the week :) I can't wait to arrive to my doorstep too!
ReplyDeleteSally's prompt had such a wonderful way to connect us to each other, and to connect ourselves to the life around us!
I agree Alicia, I value the connections that I have made by being part of Sally's wonderful challenge.
ReplyDeleteBecky! I'm quite honored that you chose my book as your photo prompt for this week's challenge. Unfortunately I did not participate in this round - was busy with my son's big 5th birthday. :-) I'm happy to hear that you like the book so far and that it might provide some inspiration. I agree with the comments on this post - the connections we have all made through this Focus on Life challenge have been wonderful. I am thankful for you, Sally, and all of our friends in the jewelry community! :-)
ReplyDeleteThanx Cindy. I am proud to have meet you too, as well as the other participants. Your book is great. I am making a set of your links right now. I hope he had a great birthday.
