Pinterest!

I have heard so much about Pinterest, and some of my dearest friends have told me that I should look into it.  Well, I finally visited the site to learn more about it, and am so glad that I did!  What fun!  Thank you to my sweet friends for introducing me to the site!

For those who may not know about Pinterest, it's like a virtual pinboard.  It's a great place to get inspired and to discover and share all kinds of new and wonderful things!  When you join Pinterest you can set up your own pinboards... Then, when you see something on the web that you love, you can pin it to one of your boards.  Among other things, people use pinboards plan their weddings, decorate their homes and organize their favorite recipes. It's such fun to browse other boards and see all of the beautiful and interesting things others have pinned!  When you see something you love on the boards you're browsing or following, you can re-pin it to your own board...  No matter how many times an item is re-pinned, it always links back to the original site it came from.  Pinterest really is a place full of inspiration, lots of great ideas, DYI projects, yummy recipes, beautiful artwork and amazing scenery!  If it sounds like something you'd enjoy, here's the link to the website: http://pinterest.com/ ~ It's very easy to join ~ Once you're on the website, just ask for an invite.  They will email you back fairly quickly, then the fun begins!  

I set up some boards already and am having such a great time 'pinning' and 're-pinning' all of the wonderful and beautiful things I see!  I invite you to check out my boards.  You can click the red Pinterest button in the left sidebar of my blog, or just click HERE to come over and visit me on Pinterest, and see the boards I'm curating... Below are just a few of the things you'll see on my boards...

Of course I have an 'Awesome Polymer Clay Art' board, and isn't this fantastic?! I just had to re-pin it when I saw it!!  It was created by Kathleen Dustin:

I also have an 'Awesome Animals' board, and this amazing shot was taken by my brother Charlie, (of Charlie Prenzi Photography).  Such a thoughtful look on the Gorilla's face.

I have an 'In The Garden' board, and I would love for my real garden to look just like the one I'm curating on my board!  LOL!!  Here's one of the beautiful garden scenes I have pinned there:

I have several more boards, but this is one of my favorites... My 'Capturing A Moment' board.  I have pinned so many great "captured moments" on this board so far, but I especially love this Happy Little Puppy!!! :)

I recently created a website on Fine Art America where I have made some of my polymer clay sculptures available as greeting cards and fine art prints.  I also added some of my photography there as well.  I will be adding new work as I go along.  I have Galleries set up on the site, among them is 'Art for Children's Rooms and Nurseries' ~ 'Fine Art Prints' ~ 'Clay Art Photography' ~ just to name a few.  Below are a several of my polymer clay sculptures now available, or soon to be available, as greeting cards and fine art prints:

An Amazing Photographer...

.¸.•´¸.•*´¨) ¸.•*¨)

(¸.•´ (¸.•` ♥ My brother, Charlie is a great photographer!  He has an amazingly artistic eye and it certainly shows in all of his photographs.  His studio is based in Texas and he specializes in portrait work ~ although he does many other kinds of photography as well.  Wonderful landscape photographs, great classic car photographs, amazing shots of animals... and much, much more.  When my son and I were in Texas for a visit recently, Charlie took some beautiful portraits of both my kids and me.  We had a great time during the photo shoot.  His studio has such an easy and laid-back feeling, and our sitting was a lot of fun.  I thought I'd share some of the photographs that he took of us, along with the link to his website.  He has many awesome photographs on his website to look at and enjoy!  Here's the link:   Charlie Prenzi Photography

Fun! :)
