recycling

Things are still a lit­tle slow in the blo­gos­phere, so another Best of the Fort­night (end­ing 5/4/2008):

• At Watch Me Cre­ate, Kerry Bog­art describes how she found a host of new pos­si­bil­i­ties from beads she already had in front of her.
• In response to a recent Flam­ing Hot! topic, Amy Kuczewski describes a week in the life of a typ­i­cal lam­p­worker.
• Also at Watch Me Cre­ate, Linda Mor­ri­son blogs about the tri­als and joys of work­ing with recy­cled glass.
• Still watch­ing our fel­low artists cre­ate, Terri Lovins shows her cre­ation process with a start-to-finish descrip­tion of mak­ing a necklace.
• Need a cre­ativ­ity boost? Head over to Lifedev for their list of sev­en­teen obscure creativity-sparking web­sites.
• Kim Miles points out a not-so-obvious advan­tage of a lousy econ­omy for artists.
• Pop­ping back to Watch Me Cre­ate one more time, Kerry also shares why tool test­ing is a great spur to new cre­ativ­ity.

Hey, peo­ple out there, let’s get to writ­ing as well as melting!
