I'm sharing page space in Niagara Interiors magazine with some

pretty cool Niagara artists. 

Not sure where they saw my work, but I'm thinking it's from the Brocante Lux exhibition in September.  The editor emailed me for my address and even sent me two copies of the magazine, which was great.

You can see the whole thing online here.

Spotted!

The very lovely Christine has a beautiful blog that features unique handmade treasures.  I just love the artists and artisans she picks.  I was actually unaware of this blog until Christine emailed me several weeks ago to let me know she had featured my work on it.  That's when I discovered this amazing collection of beautiful things, and I was SO honored to be part of it!

It's funny; I sometimes agonize that my work doesn't seem to bear a stamp that says 'Azra Momin'.  Probably because I'm constantly trying new materials and new outcomes.  I've almost come to accept that I will never have a signature look - it will always be in a process of evolution.

Well then, when I took a look at the pieces from my shop that Christine picked for her blog feature, I was quite amazed.  Those pieces all DO look like the same person made them - ME!  YAY!

And you can see them all here!

Incidentally, the first piece in the feature, and another one that I made at the same time, were both picked for Etsy treasuries.  It's funny coz I really wouldn't have expected it for either of these pieces.  Just goes to show you never know!

Rain On Me

Hope

Until next time!

Two of my yellow creations were featured back to back on Etsy.

What Remains Of The Day

Does that sound irreverent? I hope Kazuo Ishiguro won't mind my stealing (somewhat) the title of his lovely book. Actually I really liked the movie too, a rare occurrence if I have read and enjoyed the book. In fact I will usually avoid watching the screen version of a book I really liked, but who can pass up Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson enacting an Ishiguro story?

But I totally digress.

DaddyBoy very kindly went to rock the Baby Chipmunk to sleep, and dozed off himself, thus completely dashing my plan to watch Clint Eastwood's classic A Fistful of Dollars with him. Too tired to think up plan B, I ended up at my computer. And checked my email. And found this.

It's past 11 p.m., but who cares what remains of the day; it's ending wonderfully!

Fall-ing Chair featured on ShopHandmade!

I just checked ShopHandmade and saw Fall-ing Chair right there on the front page!!!

My shop is brand new there with only two items, so this is really cool.

Here's a screenshot:

Treasury again!

I forgot to do mention this on the 11th, but Fall-ing Chair was featured in an Etsy Treasury!



My new work there has almost no views though, which is very weird, and people on the Etsy forums keep talking about how they're not getting any views either, and a few are getting too many and are just as nonplussed! System glitch? I don't know. I've barely had the the time recently to glance through the forums.
