Artful Blogging
Aug 8th, 2007 by melanie
Did you ever think you would see the day when a magazine would be solely dedicated to blogging? Well, check this out: the premiere issue of Artful Blogging, a new quarterly publication by Stampington that focuses on creative bloggers and their visually inspiring online journals. Isn’t that a great concept for a magazine? Definitely a sign of the times.
I am delighted to have both this blog featured in this issue, as well as my Inspire Me Thursday site. A true honor to be in such good company; I’ve enjoyed reading about the other creative blogs and community sites, some well known to me, others a delightful new find. Lots of wonderful talent and inspiration in this issue, be sure to check it out!
To celebrate, cute and clever ArtsyMama is hosting an Artful Blogger party, complete with cake and punch and lots of fun party-goers :)
I’m bringing the mango lassis and sharing a few ideas for making your own creative stamps using random everyday objects that will add lots of texture to your artwork. I am still on the lookout for someone to bring an appetizer of extra time! Party on, creative bloggers!

Thank you for sharing this :) You have inspired me to make myself some of my own stamps, I think I’ll try a flower bud from my garden, I wonder what kind of design a zinnia will create? Also I want to congratulate you for your blogs being in the magazine!
