Spotlight: Emilia Van Nest Markovich

June 10, 2020 by Helena Asmus Lim Filed Under: Artists Spotlight

I just came across Emilia Van Nest Markovick’s work on Pinterest.  I just love her collages and colours.

Her website: Emilia Van Nest Markovich

I hope she doesn’t mind I take inspiration from her marvelous use of pieces and colours that seem to be both geometric and organic.

Below is just a quick screenshot from a page on her site.  You can see more of her work directly on her site, or via Google, or Pinterest.

Wirework Tutorial and Nicole Hanna

October 14, 2014 by Helena Asmus Lim Filed Under: Artists Spotlight, General

I have only ever bought 2 online tutorials in my life. My virgin purchase was from Heather Collins (Butterfly Clasp tutorial). My second, a few days ago, was a wirework tutorial from Nicole Hanna.  I loved it so much I am about to get another one from Nicole Hanna.

Dear Nicole,

if you ever get to read this,

  1. thank you so much for the freebie tutorial and for the (paid) tutorial.  Enjoying it to bits!
  2. I am so sorry I called you the wrong name (in the Message to Seller box).  I had only just found you when I was compelled to buy your tutorial.  And my brain leaked the wrong name to me when addressing you!

Now after this wee status update, I am off to look for my next tutorial. That should keep me busy and out of trouble for the rest of the night! Ta-Ta!
