Anyway my dear friend and fellow artist Sasha has nominated me for a Versatile Blogger Award! I was so shocked when she suprised me on Facebook. Thank you sweetie, for the nomination! I'm so touched that you find my blog interesting to read. Go check Sasha out, she versitile in her many projects. She can do enchanting faeries to beautiful wire jewlery! (Which I am honoured to have a pair of! Hehehe)
The Versatile blogger award rules are: that you should pass it on to 15 blogs you thoroughly like to read, and let the bloggers know they have been nominated.
Then you have to share seven things about yourself.
Finally you have to thank the award giver and link back to them.
So the nominess. (Which was hard to pick...I love all the blogs I read! They all have such great and gorgeous things about them) Hope you don't mind if I share some of your works.
Diana Evans - A truely versatile artist. This talented lady can do just about everything from wonderful artwork, to sweet and delecate jewlery and some very delectable looking sweet baking treats! She is definately fun to read and I enjoy getting her updates on what she's doing next to get my socks knocked off my feet everytime.

Amalia - A fellow dreamer and artist. Amalia does gorgeous, poetic art work that expresses deep emotions and heart. I find her work so inspiring, moving and a visual feast for the eyes everytime I see it, I couldn't imagine being on blogger without her on my reading list. She also does some of the cutest little paper dolls.

Jennifer Noel Bower - A very talented and awesome artist that I've ever come across. Her work has a sweet charm that verges on a nice '50's/'60's retro style, but expresses all her soul in her own unique way. It's a treat to get to see her art and read about what she's up to with her projects. I'm always glad that I bumped into her here in blogger land. This lady will continue to go far in her career!

Gingermelon - A very creative doll artist who also happens to live in the same area as I do! I may have passed her on the street and not even have know it. *giggles* She can do a range of different cute little dolls, from felt to her sweet paper dolls. I always find it amazing that she can do these on such a tiny scale. She offers kits on her Etsy shop to sew these wonderful creations yourself.

P.C.E - I love this girl's art so much! Her doodles that she sometimes posts up never look like doodles, they are beautiful and full of life, dark whimsy and fantasy. She also turns her little creations into pendants, prints and much more. I always look forward to reading her blog and getting a peek at what she's working on next. I wish her all the best on her read to her dreams.

Cameron - Another artist I adore very much! This lady has to much creativity oozing from her fingers. She does a whole range of art that I find so enthralling and inspiring. I mean, she can create amazing jewlery pieces, cards, adorable sewing projects and lost of gorgeously painted artwork and a busy mother to boot too...she must be an expert on time managment as well. *giggle* Keep up the awesome work!

Sara Lynn - A wonderfully talented artist! I enjoy seeing her work so much. Her lines have such a delecate and detailed nature that really makes them come alive, gives them such an elegant charm. I just could never miss one of her posts. I hope to buy one of her prints one day!

Victoria Stitch - Now I got so excited when I bumped into Victoria in blogger land! She does these amazing, cute, elegantly gothic art cut-outs. I'm always blown away at all the tiny details she manages to cram into her work and they are all so charming! She's a definate worth to see and read and I can see her going to far places with the work she does. An artist to watch!

Okay, so lastly I have to write seven things about myself. *gulp* I hope they won't be boring. *laughs*
1. I studied ballet at the Royal Winnipeg Ballet for about six years(from age 4 to 9). I love nothing more than to dance and let my body go to music. If I could have been anything else besides an artist I would have been a dancer. I had to stop going to classes once the company moved to a new location and to cover the costs, they raised to prices of their classes. I still hope to return to ballet classes one day, just for fun.
2. I also write. Another ambition of mine when I was a teen was to be a novelest. I wrote my first 400 page vampire epic when I was 17. Which sadly has been lost to the winds after all these years, but the main characters still sometimes chatter to me. I was really encouraged to write, I had a grade 7 teacher that would enroll me into writing competions. I still write a little bit here and there, but they mostly turn out to be comic scipts.
3. I was once offerd a position at Tokyo Pop as a professonal freelance screentoner. I ended up turning them down, which was a good thing since they went bust in 2008. I turned them down because I just really wanted to draw my own work, which I guess was selfish of me.
4. I am a coffee addict to the extreme! I can have at least five or more cups of coffee in a day and I can still fall asleep after that. So the caffine effect has lost it's power on me. Mwahahaha. I do like tea as well, as long as it's caffinated.
5. I can speak some Japanese, and am currently trying to learn Hebrew as well. Japanese is way easier to pronounce than Hebrew...but that probably because I've been learning Japanese for more than five years. What I find most interesting about Hebrew is that their numbers are the same as their letters...which is also very confusing. *giggles*
6. I also used to do figure skating as a child, I studied for about three years. I loved doing the sipns! Though I didn't enjoy it as much as ballet though. The skates scared me, as I knew that if you had a bad fall, you could get seriously cut up and hurt.
7. I'm an old movie buff. I adore old movies from the silent era on upwards...but my particular favorites are from the '40's to the mid '70's. But my range of tastes is rather large...so as long as it's good I'll love it. Though I do like some of the old horror movies from the '80's...which are great for a real laugh! My top picks are "To Kill A Mockingbird", "The Seven Year Itch", "An Affair To Remember", "Rope", "The 39 Steps", "The Bad Seed" and "The Picture Of Dorian Grey". Ther are more, but I can't remember all of them right now. *laughs*
Well, that's it for this blog post for today...I'll end it with this little doodle I rather quickly did as thanks to Sasha for the nomination and all of you who read my little rambling and look at my doodles. Thank You and have a terrific, creative week!!
