So much was going on only now can I see the light at the end of the tunnel, a glimmer of hope, a spark of optimism that all of our special projects will be wrapping up. So in honor of those glimmers and lights, how about a few slightly blingy things this week?<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll start with some new Donna Greenberg earrings. Seeing a new piece of hers always brightens my day. And I do love those cool jewel tone shimmers. These are not overly complicated but I am very much for simplicity right now. The shiny side kind of hangs out there like a beacon of some kind.<\/p>\n<p>But I also wanted to share this because look &#8230; she made her own stand, or jewelry show furniture, as she calls it. How fun and fabulous is that?<\/p>\n<p>See what else Donna has been up to on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Donna-Greenberg-Arts-151594531536806\/\" target=\"_blank\">her Facebook page<\/a>, where I found these, and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.donnagreenbergarts.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">her website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Inspirational Challenge of the Day: <\/strong>Create your own style of displays for your work, something completely different from what Donna made. Displays can be artistic, but be careful with heavy patterns and colors brighter than your work. You want your work\u00a0to stand out, not your stands. Search online for DIY display ideas to help you out.\u00a0These kinds of projects are prefect for dipping into your scrap bin. You can paint or powder mud colored clay displays\u00a0to bring them back to life.<\/p>\n<p class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"text-align: center;\">_________________________________________<\/p>\n<p class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"likethisblog\">Like this blog?
