Okay, so I'm suppose to do these cups for a favor at an upcoming women's retreat for my church. I am really into "funky" colors right now. I guess spring is putting me in the mood. I need some inspiration so here is some eye candy to inspire...

Okay, so here is what I came up with..

After all of this fun "sharpie" creating; I decided to do a JOURNAL PAGE! Love being inspired!

Have a very BLESSED and HAPPY day!

Art with a Mission

About two years ago my friends and I met two gals at a Warrenton show booth. They had some AMAZING pottery jewelry. Not only was the jewelry amazing, but so were the girls! I LOVE any person or group that helps out with MINISTRIES- I am definitely a sucker for them. These girls give half of their proceeds to helping orphanages in Africa. http://www.rebekahblocher.com/

Another great mission is http://www.acholibeads.com/. The beaded necklace in the picture is actually recycled paper. Women from the Acholi tribe of northern Uganda tribe, who were forced to flee their homes to escape Africa's longest running war made these beads. They are rebuilding their lives by creating and selling this beautiful jewelry.

-take a look- look great in beautiful jewelry- be a part of something bigger- help the world-
