How do you like my new logo?
It is now part of my new website

My first teaching gig was in Tucson, Arizona

What a great group of students,
along with shopping the TUCSON GEM SHOW,
which is held during the same time of the retreat,
was hands down one of my past year's
most fun TIMES!!
 
 
 
Then, my bestie, Deryn Mentock and I
boot scooted up to Virginia,
to teach at Boots & Bliss. 
 
In May I made a stop in
Paducah, Kentucky
 
 
July brought me to Santa Ana, California
and
And, finally a stop in Phoenix, Arizona
at

 
With all that said, I've caught my breath,
and completed my new 
website
I've been working on my new "go to site" for the past couple of weeks!

Not really looking to win anything ... Just want to say how much I like your new website ... And, of course, how much I love your beautiful work.

Cheryl Bannon said...

Website looks great. Sharing on FB. I noticed in your pics, you have been the incredible shrinking Diane....

Kim L said...

No brainier. I got to take Window to my Heart for reals. So I would love to take etched cuffs for sure! By the by your new blog set up is awesome! XO

Sheryl Lynn said...

I have always wanted to do your window to my heart class. I just love it. I think your new logo represents your personality perfectly... Great job!

Chesley said...

Wow, Diane! Your new website is really cool! I love the home page flip through of your work - really, very nicely done! And for that, I could win one of your DVD's? It is SO hard to choose! But I think I would like the 'Etched and Layered Cuffs". I am already signed up for your newsletter, and I shared your website to my FB page. thank you for a chance to win one of your DVD's…so kind of you :-)

I don't think my last comment posted. Probably operator error. Diane, I love your new website, and especially your brand/logo. It's so you. Romantic. Looks like you have had an amazing year. I hope to catch up with one of your classes soon. I would love to win the "Window to my heart" tutorial. It's just beautiful. Thank you, Rebecca Wilson

Unknown said...

As a longtime fan...anything you do would be incredible to win....Someday I will get to one of your retreats...Sigh...Until then, your website and published works will have to tide me over...All of which are great!

Susan Marling said...

I love the new site - it's very soft and ethereal like your work. After looking at the scroll through your work-it makes me want to drag out rhinestones and silk! It's great. Hard to decide on a DVD - they both look great - maybe the etched cuff. You really did get around this year - looking at all those pictures - you were one busy lady!

Cheryl said...

I have only met you on my IPad but the new logo seems to be a perfect match for you and your creations!!
"windows to my heart " has caught my eye!
Thank you!!

Lucid Moon Studio said...

I really like the Window to My Heart project! Your logo and website looks great!!

Mammabellarte Rita Reade said...

Busy 2014! I am so happy to have met you sweet Texas signora. Hope to see you in 2015 Baci Rita

Vickie ~ Mademoiselle*Rose said...

Your new website is fabulous. I love that the pictures are so BIG so we can see the lovely detail.
I have done a class of yours online, Heartstrings, which got me going on my jewellery making journey so it will always be significant to me.
I wish I could do one of your in-person classes, but since I live in Australia, not much chance, so I appreciate very much the chance to win a not-in-person class with you! I would love to take Window to My Heart.
I have pinned you on Pinterest and subscribed to your newsletter too! Thank you for the opportunity to win one of your classes.

lordblessu said...

New web site is fab!!! I would love to win the Window to my heart DVD. Someday I would love to take a class with you.

Glad you had such an awesome year so far. Website looks wonderful Diane! Would love to have the Etched and layered cuff DVD. Looks like an adventure waiting to happen :)

Unknown said...

Diane your site looks wonderful ! Love the Image slide through all your beautiful Artwork!

lssphx said...

You have been a busy gal but your new site looks great... if I had to pick just one DVD, I'd say 'Window to My Heart', as it looks like some good techniques to learn!

The Collard Patch said...

Wow Diane you're on the move. Love your new blog site. I would love to win "Etched and Layered Cuffs". I learned so much from you at "Artful Gathering", thank you and can't wait to see what you pull out of the Texas hat. :)

Wendy said...

Like like like its simplicity. It makes it easy to navigate. Suggestions: slow down pictures rotating (makes it more pleasant in eyes,) make banner more transparent that flashes over pictures (so you can see pictures behind better) and use a small picture next to each word that takes you to a link verses user having to touch all words to see which ones link.

Barbara Mason said...

Love your new website all purty...I have liked, shared, on FB and signed up for your newsletter...what a good girl I am...missed taking your Window to my Heart workshop, so that would be my choice!

Di@Cottage-Wishes said...

I love your new site. I would love both, here here. But window to my heart sounds beautiful. Thanks. Di@cottage-wishes

PA said...

Wow, Diane, you've been a busy gal! I love your new site and would be most pleased to win the Window to My Heart DVD! I also shared on FB and subscribed to the news letter so put my name in the drawing hat three times! XOXO

The new website looks amazing!! I would love the Etched and Layered Cuffs dvd. Also signed up for your newsletter!!

Saraccino said...

I really love your work (but also am too far away over the ocean to join any workshop in person). I would take the "Etched and Layered Cuffs". It is interesting to see that most people would chose the Window to my heart (which I also love! But I am more to your layered look).

Your new website looks stunning! The colours and the drawings, the general atmosphere you are creating with your design is beautiful but subtle enough to really enhance your work (and not overshadow). But you asked for a general impression and there are some details that would have kept me from the side would it not have been your side (I am german and mostly we are associated with being direct and not polite, so please bear with me... :) ). The first thing is: I don't like to scroll down every time I get into a new submenu. As lovely (really, really lovely!) the drawing on top is, it takes away from the other information. But since you already made it in two parts, would this not work great as a kind of frame to your side and the submenu and images between the upper and lower part? The second thing is (and maybe this is not changeable?) the redirecting if I get to your shop. There are actual studies (okay... I also work in a research lab... and am always curious about such "stuff") that show that the more "links" you have to click until you get to your goal, the more people you lose on that way.

Greetings from germany,
Claire :)

Loving all the quotes and the beautiful pics of your work! Enjoyed every little part of it really! Shared on my facebook page ~A bit of Colour~. Would love to win the Window to My heart ! Thanks for the opportunity!

donna joy said...

Love the new look of your website! I'll share on FB and instagram~ would like the "etched and layerd cuffs" class. just a bit of feedback on the logo-with all the curlieque's in the background, the name get's a little lost-darker color would help. it's still beautiful, just needs to pop a little so it's easier to read.

MichelleH said...

I love all of your pictures and your logo is fab! If you draw my name from that big cowboy hat, I am itching to make an etched layered cuff. I also shared your website on facebook.

Diane,
Your new website is lovely. Such a peaceful and gentle appearance, but packed full of information and beautiful photos of your art. Your "Press" page is amazing! I too love your logo. And lastly, your quotes are very thoughtful. I especially like the Eleanore Roosevelt quote and that of James Earl Jones! I've shared your link on my FB page, urging my friends to check it out. If I'm lucky enough to win a DVD, I'd love having "Windows to My Heart". Thanks for the opportunity! Looking forward to Artful Gathering next year!! Thanks!
