On the Street Where You Live: Etsy Inspiration for the May ABS Challenge Inspiration
In doing a little research about Utrillo, I came up with this fascinating quote attributed to Diego Riviera about the questionable paternity of his birth:
"After Maurice was born to Suzanne Valadon, she went to Renoir, for whom she had modeled nine months previously. Renoir looked at the baby and said, 'He can't be mine, the color is terrible!' Next she went to Degas, for whom she had also modeled. He said, 'He can't be mine, the form is terrible!' At a cafe, Valadon saw an artist she knew named Miguel Utrillo, to whom she spilled her woes. The man told her to call the baby Utrillo: 'I would be glad to put my name to the work of either Renoir or Degas!'"

Green
Green. The color of life, nature, and youth. To say someone is green behind the ears means they are naive and lacking experience. If some one is green around the gills, they are not feeling well. But I like things that are green (new) and green (recycled or earth friendly). Did you know that Santa's suit was originally green? Here are a few inspirational green goods that got my Irish eyes smiling! No need to be green with envy... links to these goodies are below! Happy St. Patrick's Day!

On the 9th Day of Christmas: Kissing Balls
A kiss can be a comma, a question mark or an exclamation point. That's basic spelling that every woman ought to know. ~Mistinguett (Jeanne Bourgeois), Theatre Arts, December 1955
The evergreen kissing ball is a romantic tradition dating back to 18th-century England. As the charming custom goes, a young lady stands beneath the ball and receives a kiss, removing a berry, until all the berries (and kisses) were gone.
Create these mock kissing ball earrings in just three easy steps.
Materials:
Enamel balls - Barbara Lewis, PaintingWithFireArtwear.com
Brass and gold plated bead caps
Swarovski crystals
Vintaj brass ear wires
Vintaj eyepins
Instructions:
1:: Gather your materials. Find some round beads, like these emerald green fluted enameled balls from Barbara Lewis of Painting with Fire fame. Sting onto brass eyepins.
2:: Pile on an assortment of bead caps with various looks. Stacking your bead caps is an instant way to add texture and interest. Try stacking bead caps of differing metals, like brass with silver or gunmetal with gold.
3:: Add some sparkle with Swarovski crystals to catch the light and draw his eye. Attach to ear wires of your choice, I prefer these long swingy ones from Vintaj.
