Look For My Art in Somerset Studio Gallery Magazine!

So I recieved this magazine called Somerset Studio Gallery in the mail weeks ago. I didn't remember ordering it, but I was on the Somerset Studio/Stampington website looking at other publications I wanted and thought maybe I accidentally ordered the wrong thing. I decided to just keep it and put it aside until I had some free time. At least a week and a half later, I picked it up to finally look through it, and while I was paging through it, I passed a page that made me do a double-take. Lo and behold, there was an image of a fatbook page I did almost 2 years ago! Published! With my name and everything! I couldn't believe it! If you have the mag, its on page 50 (you can buy the magazine here). Here's the magazine page featuring my little 4x4 piece of art at the very top:



And here's an image of the actual fatbook page (which I further embellished with mini-beads not seen here):


For those of you not familiar with fatbooks, fatbooks are little collaborative art books featuring 4x4 artworks of the contributing artists. For example, if 40 artists are participating, each artist makes 40 4x4 pieces of art - all originals or high-quality copies--which are sent to the fatbook hostess. The hostess binds all of the pages and sends a complete book to each artist. Each book usually has a theme that the artwork needs to portray. And they can vary in size--4x4 is standard, but some books will feature other sized artwork too. The books are a lot of fun, and I used to participate in them regularly before jewelry took over my life!

While I'm talking about fatbooks, I thought I'd share some of the artwork I've done for fatbooks in the past:
