Happy Wednesday creative, caring, crafty chicks! : )
You all delighted and amazed me with your comments naming your favorite things that start with the letter "C." Wow, what fun reading all of them! A big round of applause, you are all so creative and clever! : )

This week, I'd love to introduce you to my dear friend, Lenna Andrews. She lives in beautiful, sunny Florida. She and her hubby took these photos of her studio to share with us....
And here's Lenna in her beautiful studio. Guess what? It's the largest room in her house - her husband, Steven, insisted she have it for her art. What a guy! : )
...
Cuteness alert! Lenna's adorable doggies, Asia and Chloe, love hanging out with her when she's arting away.
...
Her work table is filled with beautiful inspiration: collected beach treasures, bronze sculptures by her husband's father, wood curls from her husband's woodworking projects, recently received art gifts and more. Oooh, I spy feathers, more on that later! : )
...
Great storage idea! Lenna stores her ribbons and trims in a shoe holder. Fantastic! I spy pink ARTchix ribbon. : )
...
Ahh, there's a place for everything! Her rubber stamps are in shallow plastic drawers making them easy to find and grab. This is inspiring me to tackle my bin of rubber stamps which is out of control.
...
Art fills her walls and every table surface. Sooo wonderful to see! This wall is specifically for mail art..how cool is that?
...
I asked Lenna to make some fun backgrounds so that we could make some special ARTchix art bits. She started by gathering papers and tearing them into little pieces. Great idea!
..
Then she worked her collage magic and made this beautiful background.
...
She made these gorgeous backgrounds too.
...
And voila, presto change-o! My hubby and I have transformed her lovely backgrounds into special, one-of-a-kind art bits: coral branches, green houses and feathers with vintage text. Wow! Get them on etsy now, while you can!
Win this special collection of Lenna's art bits by posting a comment telling me your favorite item in my etsy shop right now.
One of my kitties will pick a winner next week.
C U next week with oh, perhaps a few new ARTchix goodies that may or may not start with the letter "C." Tee hee. : )
