I love collaborating with other artists and it just gets better with each one. I don't like round robin projects at all-- I just like to go one on one. Yours was very interesting because I was interpreting a piece of art and you were interpreting the same piece with what I created. Brilliant! Thanks for the opportunity!Stories They Tellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10162254176855830546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-86861039292377558972010-08-24T21:33:59.417-04:002010-08-24T21:33:59.417-04:00What an accomplishment!

I was kinda bummed that I wouldn't be able go so this video is really the next best thing.<br /><br />I don't think that my skill level is up to collaboration yet. But it will get there.

I usually have a certain style or design in mind when I am making a bead and I am always thrilled to see how differently other artists think!<br /><br />and on the other side-- when someone asks me to make something specifically for them it usually spurs new ideas.Artisan Clayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02528736957866733211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-76062542133789127322010-08-21T10:05:25.929-04:002010-08-21T10:05:25.929-04:00Erin, Your show is wonderful and so inspiring.

I volunteered to be on the board for our new HandmadeInVegas Etsy Team and I am planning to have meet ups with other jewelry artists. I will be speaking at our next meeting about a guerilla art challenge and your show was great inspiration to include other types of artists in this effort too.

Yes, there is a lot of collaborative trust that must take place to really pull something like this off. <br />I've been thinking of another sort of collaboration in that I have two collections of artwork from two very different artisans; I have many, many lampwork beads from some well know artisans (including some in your exhibit) and I keep thinking "what if".<br />As soon as my new studio room is completed, I plan to take this thought to the bead board and see where it may take me.sandi mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02936873481818244101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-89763490968885217622010-08-19T22:30:07.629-04:002010-08-19T22:30:07.629-04:00This is truly awe inspiring and amazing!

I also am in a small local artist's cooperative, and I am thinking of approaching the members with your idea, but with a twist. We could pair artists with each other, and each will create something inspired by the other. So, pottery inspiring a photo, or jewelry inspiring a painting, etc. I think it's a great way to stir our imaginations.<br />Thanks for the inspiration! And thanks for a chance to win some of your special beads.Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12337101534643323960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-34670892886544829322010-08-19T13:04:35.360-04:002010-08-19T13:04:35.360-04:00Your gallery exhibt is absolutely wonderful.

First of all congratulations on the exhibit...Erin -<br />First of all congratulations on the exhibit and brava! for bringing it together in such an awesome and beautiful way.<br /><br />I have not done a collaboration with another artist - yet- but I hope it is in my future. So far my collaborations are with nature... it is always in my work.<br /><br />What is stopping me? Me - I am still trying to work out who I am as an artist... so that I will have something to share. Most of my work is sold or gifted to friends who incorporate my beads into their jewelry. Okay, that's a collaboration of sorts... but not on the same scale of your concept of collaboration.<br /><br />I would like to work with artists who work in different media...in a way that doesn't always add up to jewelry. Just for a change.<br /><br />Who would I like to collaborate with .. oooh, so many fabulous fellow beadmakers! You tapped into some of my favorites... but I would also like to work with Gail Crossman-Moore, Joanne Morash and Holly Cooper as well.<br /><br />What a thought-provoking challenge!<br /><br />SallySally Macknoreply@blogger.com
