...have you encountered Colleen???

If you don't already know the work of Colleen Attara...

I hope you can encounter it soon...

I say this because her art speaks to me in in such a deeply personal way...

...so, it was nothing short of a true honor and unfettered joy that I visited Colleen at her studio to photograph her space and profile her for my column in Where Women Create magazine...

Thanks to Jo Packham for the opportunity to share more about Colleen and her artful business in my column, "The Business of the Studio"...

Colleen finds beauty in castoffs, words and recycled goods...she creates art and teaches...she is so very gifted.

You can read more about Colleen in the new issue...the cover looks like this:

Thanks Colleen...for allowing me to encounter your art, your space, and to share more about your business journey.

....you are a treasure to me...

I miss you and hope to see you soon...

....in the meantime, I am keeping your art and good vibes close

...it's time...I have to ask

It's time for me to ask you to

follow me on Instagram...

I love the BLOG, I love being able to have a voice and tell a story. And back in -- was it 2005??? -- I can remember being thrilled to sit and pour it all out -- images and companion text -- to tell you about whatever I was thinking....

But, as a visual person, Instagram gives me an opportunity to do that - quickly -- and so much more frequently...

I can share snippets and peeks...at my day...at my work...at my life...

a way for me to show you what I am up to when I don't have time to post to the BLOG...

So if you are not already among the folks following me -- and you read this -- please consider following me....

I am @jensearthangels

AND if you think I should be following you.... tell me and leave a comment on my Instagram page...

thanks ... and yes these are recent posts...just a peek!

...my feature in the new issue....congrats to Julie Arkell...

...seeing artists at work
and sharing that magic...

It's days like these I am firmly reminded just how much

I love my job...

...and how much I love the artful souls with whom I work to share what they make...not just by selling their creations via my shop, but by sharing what they do in my photos and writings.

...it's days like these when I am able to share what I love, that I perhaps treasure my handmade life the most.

xo to Jo Packham for the opportunity to do a piece on Julie Arkell in the new issue of Where Women Create magazine...

...and of course, a huge thanks to my long time pal across the many miles....thanks go to you, Julie Arkell, for sharing your style, your artistry and a peek at your utterly amazing studio and workspace...
