Best of the, um, however long ending 9÷1÷2008

Thanks to the hol­i­day week­end, I for­got to post this last night. After all, TODAY is what felt like Sunday!

• Laura Spar­ling lets go of her con­trol freak ten­den­cies over at Watch Me Cre­ate.
• Also at Watch Me Cre­ate, Kerry Bogert shows off her stu­dio re-​do.
• I find out the hard way about let­ting flam­ma­ble crud accu­mu­late under my work­bench. Eeek!!
• Rachel looks for inspi­ra­tion in art, nature, and color, and shares her tips for hav­ing a suc­cess­ful show. Her fourth tip is espe­cially worth pay­ing atten­tion to!
• Lori Green­berg des­per­ately hunts for one more bead and finds every­thing but.
• Jelveh shares some eye candy along with her thoughts on copying.
• When Nina Bagley can’t find the lam­p­work beads she needs for one of her pieces, she calls on her sis­ter Ellen to save the day.
