| Issue 123 - Inspirations Magazine |
I just received the latest issue from my subscription of Inspirations magazine in the mail. I love exploring each issue for ideas, and I always mark the projects for my copious To Do list. Every photograph and article carries me away for a little while.
Imagine my delight when I turned the page to find one of Clara's goldwork frogs ready to jump off the page! My dear friend and tutor, Clara Warschauer submitted her class to the magazine, and it was accepted for publication. I immediately sent her a text to tell her I'd just found it.
She told me that she hasn't received her copy yet, so I actually got my copy before she did! I'm only showing a partial of this page because it includes her tutorial for making the frog, and the pattern is with the others from this issue at the back of the magazine.
If you're interested in creating your own version of this piece, you can order a copy of the magazine HERE. In addition to Clara's frog, there are many other fun projects you might consider, too. As I've already stitched fourteen or fifteen (I can't remember) of these wee frogs, I think I'll wait before I tackle more. I do love the project, though, and once you make four or five, you can feel like you've gone a long way toward mastering the technique.
Congratulations, Clara! I'm pleased to be able to say, "I knew you when."
Congrats to Clara for her accomplishment!
ReplyDeleteYour Frogs turned out amazing.

Kudos to Clara! Her work must be absolutely exceptional as such enlarged photos would surely reveal any flaws... they look fabulous! Real works of art! It looks like a very fine publication, but the last thing I need is something else to inspire me to add to my "desire to do" list. (-;
ReplyDeleteHA! I understand completely! She is an accomplished needleworker, as well as a gifted teacher.

That's so cool!!!! Clara must be over the moon excited. I love that magazine but can't get it locally and a subscription is out of my financial reach sadly.
ReplyDeleteHi MA:
DeleteI know what you mean, dear. I've contemplated cancelling my subscription, as it is pricey, but have always managed to justify it before I hit the "end subscription" button. I know Clara is chuffed about being published, and she should be. She does exquisite work.

How exciting for her. and you! I love that bird on the cover too. Gotta go find the magazine locally so I can check it out. Charlene in Phoenix.
ReplyDeleteHi Charlene:
DeleteI'm contemplating adding that bird to my "To Do" list. At this rate, I can't ever die. I have too many projects to complete first!
