Thanks for this! It is always such a treat to see folks, their studios and work. Love this.
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting this event. It has been such a delight and I have learned so much about the artists, their process, the studios, and their inspiration. It has been such fun.
ReplyDeleteI am so enjoying this BoC tour and have discovered very talented and creative artists. I especially love seeing the studio space and marvel at each artist's flair and creative touches in their individual workspace~ what a great idea!
ReplyDeleteThis is a really fun event. I need to spend more time to go back to the artists blogs sometime later. So many nice things to discover.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your studios and recipes. What a wonderful tour! Enjoyed seeing all the different creations.
ReplyDeleteI would love to win big! I'm feelin' it!
ReplyDeleteThis was so much fun! This was my first time participating and had a great time. I missed the first round (was on line at Wal Mart forever). Can't wait to do it again.
ReplyDeleteThanks to all the artists who participated.

Thanks to all the artists for opening up their studios( a personal fear!)

ReplyDeleteThank you BOC for sharing your studios! And for hosting the give-away.
ReplyDeleteBEEN A GREAT DAY AND EXPERIENCE.
ReplyDeleteTHANKS TO EVERYONE.
Thank you to all who visited and left comments on our blogs. You all made it a great day. I am so happy that you enjoyed it. And please don't include me in the drawing. I have been generously gifted many times in our BOC swaps. But I do love everyone's beads.
ReplyDeleteOh dear, I have missed the whole event today. Just discovered it. And now it's past bedtime for me. I have something nice to look forward to tomorrow checking everyones blogs. That will be great!!
ReplyDeleteI missed it this time around, so I'd love a chance to win these lovelies! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI am becoming more and more fascinated by ceramic beads and even I am late for the blog crawl I enjoyed hitting their websites.
ReplyDeleteI am really bummed that I ended up missing this today... at least I was able to catch up by looking back at each blogger's posts... gee... winning this would help me get over my extreme depression, brought on by missing the open studios... I look forward to it again next year!
ReplyDeleteThis was such a fun event! I can't wait til the next one...Thanks everyone for stopping by, visiting our blogs and leaving the wonderful comments etc... It means a lot!
ReplyDeleteAwesome beads - I would love the chance to enter if it's not too late! Thought I already did - I must have been carried away in another direction at the event! Had a great time - I hope we do it again next year! Lisa :)
ReplyDeleteOops - nevermind - I see I missed the midnight deadline for the giveaway. That's what I get for e-mailing before coffee. Anyway - Thanks to everyone for such a great event and especially Mary and Marsha and everyone who put so much time into coordinating and guiding the rest of us. Have an Excellent week - & congrats to the lucky winner. Lisa :)
