Made from a photograph I took of a bee buzzing in my flowers, this pendant has been blogged on “Beelieve“, . What a delight to peruse that blog. Not only does she feature beautiful bee art, but she has blogged about lots of other great things, too… birds, flowers, dogs, kids, apple picking… on and on… it makes for a great read.
Thanks for featuring my buzzing bee, Karen!
This pretty little flower is growing in the flower bed by our pond. I had no idea what it was, I just described it as “sort of like a black eyed susan but it has a hot dog shaped thing coming out of the top of it”. Well, that isn’t exactly what it looks like, but if you use your imagination… Come to find out, it is Ratibida columnifera, Prairie coneflower. It has been blooming for weeks, with no end in sight. I need more of these!

One of my favorite glass artists is Squidglass. In addition to creating some of the prettiest millefiori garden pendants I’ve ever seen, she also makes some of the funkiest robots, rockets, creatures, bugs, retro and mod pendants imaginable, and she absolutely oozes coolness. I keep hoping if I hang around her long enough, some of that coolness will rub off on me, but so far no such luck. That doesn’t keep me from trying though!
You may want a piece of wearable art from Squidglass in the hopes that some of her coolness will rub off on you, too. Check out her shops at www.squidglass.etsy.com, and also Big Red Wagon on DaWanda. While there, be sure to take a look at her new line of fused glass leggy little birds. So Cute!
I’ve been fortunate enough to be blogged at “Florcita“. Mariana (of Florcita fame!) is a talented artist from Argentina now living in The Netherlands. Her art is bright and cheerful, with a touch of whimsy. I love her flowers and little birds!
