Crafty mags worth reading
The latest quarterly issue of Stringing hit the shelves this week. I was determined to pick up a copy today, and while at Barnes and Nobles, I discovered a new magazine. For the beaders/jewelry designers/bead artists out there, have you seen beads etc…? I’ve never noticed this glossy magazine that hails from Australia. Now being that sweet bead studio has ties to Australia, I just had to pick up a copy. There are beautiful resin, knotting, lampwork and wire projects inside. I can’t wait to read it!
I made another new find today (would you believe they had this at Joann’s)….take a look at this magazine, Artful Blogging. It retails for $14.95 and will be published quarterly. The magazine features the blogs of some incredibly creative individuals. Even if you are not into the blog scene, you will enjoy the beautiful art you will discover inside. I’m off….I have some reading to do!
