"Heart Strings"
by
Agnes Strauss
A beautiful group of ladies came to Fayetteville to design their
Jo Ann, Rita, Charlene, Agnes, and =)
Rita busily worked on her "strings".
Charlene brought along a frozen Charlotte, added wings....
then made her into a beautiful angel.
That touched my ♥.
This was Jo Ann's very first jewelry class.
She was so proud of the dangle she made for her thimble.
So was I!
This was Charlene's book and locket.Nesties and etched books
were just some of the possible attachments!
Then, just this past week I received the spring issue of Belle Armoire Jewelry.
It will be available on March 1st.
I was so honored to see my Heart Strings article inside.
The photographs were dazzling, as always.
My ♥ is once again doing the dance.
Congratulations to the one and only master stuffsmith
who is spotlighted as the designer in this issue.
I have been so busy preparing for Adorn Me!
It takes every fiber of my being to stay focused.
Forgive me if I haven't stopped by to see what you have been doing.
It is not that I don't care.
It is just because I care so much
for the students coming to my classes.
The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even heard,
but must be felt with the heart.

Diane, your work is so beautiful...congratulations on being published! Belle Armoire is my favorite magazine! I love your teaching style and the way you allow each person to create something personal and meaningful to them. Any type of artist could take your class and apply your techniques to their art.. you are so talented.
Love your apron (yes, I noticed it immediately!!), and of course the heartstrings...
