paying it forward

during all the blog-hopping for the owoh give-away, i received an "i love your art blog" award from the funky fairy shop in idaho. she said she has been wanting to do some papercrafting and she found some inspiration on my blog. i'm really happy to be able to connect and share with so many people over the internet! this award is such a sweet gesture....so now i'd like to pay the gesture forward to two of the artistic bloggers who inspire me the most!

lorraine is a fabulous mixed media and fiber artist in england

sandy is a wonderful collage artist and photographer in finland

thank you ladies - your work and friendship inspire me to be more creative every day! if you feel so inclined, you can copy and paste this award on your site (but you don't have to!) :-D

btw - near as i can trace, the art for this award badge was designed by atomic velvet sigh.
