If you peruse the latest “Truffles vs Truffles” issue of Artizen Magazine, you may find someone familiar mentioned in its pages… Oh heck, look at me, I can’t be coy to save my life… Okay here’s the deal. I’m featured in this month’s issue of Artizen Magazine and I’m pretty happy about the whole thing. The article was written by Michael Helander, author of the beauteous art and craft blog Blue Velvet Chair. Thanks so much Michael and Artizen for the invitation and for the glowing feature.
Oh yeah. Almost forgot. Before you skip away, here’s a quiet little tutorial for you for the above Tissue Box Valentines… Enjoy!
Did you get all that? Note that I also dabbed some gluestick glue to the spokes to keep the whole Valentine together. Now all it needs is your sweet message of love on the back, and you’re off and running!
Okay. NOW hop on over HERE to devour every delicious word of the Artizen Magazine article. Go to it.
Can't wait to read the piece. So excited that they featured you! Lovely Valentine, you are the absolute best at using up tissue boxes.
thanks KJ, I love a good tissue box craft. 🙂
I'm off to read right now!
Yay! 🙂
Hooray for you! I think the heart looks awesome.
Thanks Chris, so glad you like it!
Congratulations! That's awesome, Michele! And the Valentines are lovely 🙂
Thank you Gwen. 🙂
Yay, Michele!! Lovely to get another peek into your creating process. I find it hard to approach creative work with no expectations – I think you have found something special in being able to start with some materials and then play until something good happens. : )
It works for me and it is so rewarding when something does arise out my play. I always learn something, and more often than not, I get new ideas in these moments. but certainly, everyone's process is different and I respect that.
Toujours de très bonnes idées !
Ce cœur est charmant, original, et facile à réaliser.
Merci de nous l'avoir proposé.

What a lovely write-up about you Michele! Nice to read about your creative process and the little disasters that lead to the final product. Thank for the tutorial on those pretty little hearts!
Thanks Catherine, I always find it a challenge to answer those interview questions… That is definitely work to me. I'm very pleased with this article, however. So, yay!
Wonderful article that captures you really well! Creative playtime – you OWN that. Love these wefty woven valentines – so pretty and structured!
Thanks Michelle, I think Michael is a great writer. She did such a fine job on the article and I couldn't be happier with her work.
