Being in magazines

The other day...while organizing my back room of my studio...

I found one bundle of magazines.

They are magazines I have been published in....I haven't seen these in ages.

I have been in a lot of magazines.....and try to keep a copy of each....even though it takes a lot of space.

I LOVED the Country Marketplace magazine.  Now they only publish Country Sampler.

I had a project on the cover of this one.

It was my country garden chenille pillow.

I embroidered in all black embroidery floss and then painted with watered down acrylic paint.

Here I made a fun black cat Halloween mat from wool.

I loved making things with fun foam(now I think...yuck)

these were post it note holders....with magnets on the back.

I made a scarecrow necklace purse.

Again it was stitched all in black, then painted

Lil witch pouch purse

Dream heart...funny to see how things change and evolve.

Bunny lamp in a silver pail.

I made a lot of these and sold them at craft shows.

Santa claws pillow

Little pins to wear.

and a Chenille snowman.

Remember when chenille was sooooo popular?

I still have a lot of it.

Will it come back?

I'll share more of my published designs some other time.

If you have designed something yourself...take a pic and send it through an email to a favorite magazine.

It is a blast to have your project published.

Some magazines pay money for a one time publishing (yay!), give advertising, or other compensations.
