Hot Off the Press!
Today, I was pleasantly greeted by my mail carrier who handed me an envelope from Bead & Button Magazine. Inside was an advance copy of the December 2007 Issue. My Great Blue Heron bead-painting is published in the 'Your Work' section! The funny thing is, I forgot all about this, so it was a very nice surprise! Click the images below for a sneak peek:
You can view a larger photo of my piece on Bead & Button's website, as well as in my Saatchi Gallery Saleroom.
I also wrote a haiku to go along with this piece:
Summer sunset fades Quiet heron standing still Hunting before dark
Asahi.com, an online Japanese newspaper, posted it on the English version of their website last year, which was quite an honor:) And, I just remembered, the last time I spoke to my father, he mentioned that he should just get a subscription to Bead & Button so he doesn't have to keep running out to the bookstore every time I get published. LOL. I guess he should. Afterall, this is onlythe 4th time my beadwork has been published in this bimonthly magazine during the past 12 months... I am proud of my accomplishments, but more importantly, I am grateful for this wonderful talent that I have been given. It is a gift that I hope to continue sharing with the world:)
