Sites, books, magazines that inspiration us
I thought it would be fun for us to share places we get inspiration for crafts from.
A friend shared this link with me today and I already see myself coming back to look up projects or surf around for inspiration. http://www.designspongeonline.com/ -- It focuses on design, but even has recipies; and the photography is fantastic! -- It has ways to give old things a new life -- It has a great do it yourself section with step by step instructions example... look at these neat glass bottle frames!! Clever! (picture from design sponge site)  (I am not affiliated with this site in anyway) |

From a sewer's perspective:
I love 'Altered Couture', 'Belle Armoire', 'Piecework' & 'Gothic Beauty' for sewing (clothing) ideas. I also flip through a lot of the beading magazines for ideas on fabric embellishment. I also pick up a lot of wedding magazines (Grace Ormond Wedding Style, The Knot & Martha Stewart Weddings) since they really show fantastic pattern/fashion shapes & also grab WWD Accessories & WWD runway editions for color & shape trends. Sometimes Vogue & Bazaar have nice runway special issues as well. |

I just found this site and I am in love....
Dori Csengeri is amazing. She combines cotton cords, beads and gems to create perfection. I favor bold pieces and she delivers. It is the ultimate mixture of color, texture and couture. http://www.doricsengeri.com/ |

Fairy tale jewels is a company started by a mom. It was run from her home until recently. She started on ebay and now is available in upscale children's
stores. Great inspiration for children's jewelry. http://www.fairytalejewels.com/index.html Here are a few pictures of items no longer available. But super cute. |
