If you stop by Gwynnie B's seaside studio you'll find a delightful mess of color and beads and paint and 4 crazy animals helping out. The dogs, Lucy and Louie, offer suggestions with a wag of their tails, while the 2 cats, Fatso Skinny and Bleu Kitty offer purrs with the occasional nudge to get attention. It's a happy studio filled with lots of sunlight and music, which makes for an atmosphere full of inspiration. Please stop by Gwynnie's website to see whimsical jewelry and unique gifts and also her blog to find out what's new in the Gwynnie B studio.**************************************************

Blue Muse Jewelry is a collaboration between two sisters, Kelly Letky and Conni Bills, who, for the past five years, have used their love of handmade jewelry as a way to bond and spend lots of time together. Their favorite material is precious metal clay, and they also work with artisan glass and semi-precious stones. Creating unique, one-of-a-kind pieces is their way of adding a little beauty to life, everyday. Visit their etsy shop to see more of their work, and Kelly's blogfor updates, imagery, and writing on life, art, and working as a graphic/jewelry designer.

To me, art has been the unexpected discovery of finding my passion. When I finally put paint onto paper, my heart and life exploded with a joy I hadn’t known before.
