new chain just in!

Just got a huge order of chains in the shop-some old favorites like the leaf chain (now in all finishes) and some new, large link chains for extenders and linking projects.

We'll have them all on the website soon, but for now, here's a little teaser!

Sorry for the hiatus

Ok, I have been a bad, bad girl...I have abandoned this blog for far too long!

I promise to be better-weekly updates of what is new in store, coupons and special offers and more, just give me a chance...I may even get around to a background!?!

Please bear with me, more interesting things to come!

mixed media play day

I know you are all waiting for our next Mixed Media Market, and we have a treat for you!

At the next market, May 22nd, we've decided to try something a little different and have an Art Play Day in addition to the market full of wonderful mixed media art and embellishments.

We are going to have a full day workshop with 3 different classes-resin papers in the morning, a bird house keepsake after lunch and an altered journal in the afternoon. Lunches will be available from Ambrosia Catering and we will have lots of other goodies and swag for our workshop participants. If you are interested, please contact us here at the shop-360.405.4341 or shop@echoartworks.com

Artfest goodies

Yes, I know I am quite behind on getting pictures of my Artfest creations out here in the wide world, but I wanted to get a bit more of the journal finished so I could show off...

This is a metal journal made with resin pages and rivet embellishments. The workshop I took was Textured Text Jewelry with Susan Lenart Kazmer. Nest year, I am signing up for the 3-day shebang...there was much more fun to be had!!!

Another chance for fame
