Oh To Speak French!

I found a bunch of blogs I wanted to search through so bookmarked them. As blogs and the internet go, one blog led to another, then another and then another. And I found gold! One of my starting points was Glitter and Grunge a website that has member artists and a blog. The blog had some links to French crafting blogs. Anyway, to make a long story short I happened upon Angel Melie a beautiful space with lots of wonderful things to look at. It is written in french, but I think the eye candy is well worth the trip and the mind of a maker can always assess how something is made and do it in your own way.

I was interested in French blogs because I love the magazine Marie Claire Idees. It is a quarterly that is just filled with the most beautiful photographs, craft ideas, beautiful food and a very different sensibility than American magazines. It too is in french but I highly recommend a look. I have happened across it in Barnes & Noble and Borders. It is a little pricey, so depending on how prosperous I feel I sometimes just look through it in the store. If I'm feeling flush and buy it, I always go through it and take out the inspirational pages for my idea files.

One more thing...I'm working on my first tutorial and I'm really excited about it. Stay tuned!
