Crafting for Christmas

I know that you guys have been wondering "what happened to Katie Bryce?"  Well no need to worry. I am back! I figured that since I have been gone for a little while, I would share with you some of the things Ive been doing!  I have been super busy finishing up my last quarter of college and getting ready for some exciting new career opportunities.  I have also been getting my craft on to get ready for Christmas!  Below are some necklaces, an owl brooch, and two hairbows that I made!  The necklaces were made with safety pins and beads, and the brooch and hairbows were made using felt and zippers!  I know that I have some super crafty blog readers and hope that you will share some of your work with me!!

The Land of the Living

My darling blog readers...I owe you my sincerest apologies for my absence from your lives the past two weeks. I can only explain my disappearance on some other worldly cold/flu/virus/alien illness that took my body over and left me incapacitated for the last two weeks.  I am thankfully returning to the land of the living, and am steadily scouting the web for new inspirational things to share with you guys!  I hope you are all well and good!

As many of you who follow me on twitter and facebook know, I am a woman who wears many many hats!  What many of you dont know, however,  is that for the last several months, I have been making preparations to launch my own company:  Curb Image and Lifestyle Curation.  The purpose of my company is two fold...to enable my clients (and friends) to enjoy more of life's pleasures and simply look your best while you are doing it!  My incredible team of co-workers and I, will offer services that specialize in Experience Creation and Image Sculpting, and will officially launch the business in Jan. of 2012.

Over the last few months, I have been chatting with several of you online about your upcoming visit to Atlanta for the Sugarland show.

Wire Sculpture

 Self-taught artist Gavin Worth creates these beautiful wire sculptures. Each of his “freestanding line drawings” depicts a simple human moment, such as a woman adjusting her hair, two lovers embracing or a pair of hands clasping. Worth’s style and approach lends to a light and open mood, inviting the viewer into the moment he’s captured.

Gavin also creates art in various other mediums, so take a look at his website www.gavinworth.com and see his other work!
