Becky Shander Feature and Giveaway!

Click here to win!

One of my absolute favorite artists and people is having a giveaway...Becky Shander..I've been wanting to ask my blog friends if you know Becky. It is a bit silly for me to call this a feature since Becky is a published artist. But, I wanted to feature her as one of my favorite sources of inspiration. If you read any of the Stampington publications, you probably have seen Becky's work.  To me it is very distinct and easily recognizable. Whether she is making collage or jewelry, Becky has an uncanny ability to take everyday objects and materials and convert them to art. She loves nature, natural materials and her favorite muse would have to be birds.

This adorable felted bird and the necklaces above are included in a giveaway happening on her blog right now.  To enter to win these items, you just need to visit and leave a comment. I hope you will tell her that I sent you.  But wait, before you go, let me show you a few more pieces of her fabulous work. All pictures on this post are Becky's own and from her site - thank you for letting me use them Becky!

In the two years that I have been following Becky, I have seen her use wax paper, cereal box liners, used dryer sheets and cotton batting in her projects.  She sees beauty and potential in everything around her. She is a constant reminder to me to use what I have and what I can find as part of my creative process.  

Hey, Becky...it is going to be a really tough sell here if you try to tell someone that birds are not your favorite muse! lol  But, in your defense you do have plenty of other great projects, like these -

 Aren't these projects beautiful?  I love how she uses earth tones with a pop of color. The natural colors and materials give everything she makes a simple elegance. I hope you will visit Becky and put your name in the hat for the giveaway.  Not only is she immensely talented, but she truly is one of the most positive and kind creative souls that I have met in blog land. Hugs!
