What is WWAO? Look and See...

Worldwide Women Artists is an international collective of women artists showing and selling our original art through the worldwide web. As women artists, we give birth to our ideas in a variety of styles and media. We embrace the diversity of each other's work, celebrating the joy of creating our art and sharing it with the world.


And, that's the official statement and you can click on the WWAO official image and visit the site to see many fabulous artists! OR! You can take a quick look afterwards at the wonderful Etsy Treasury that Glass Cat Jewels created. She featured WWAO artists with Etsy shops and very graciously included one of my Gemstone Necklaces from my 'Candy Collection'. Just click on the image below to view until Wednesday, July 2nd!

Glass Cat Jewels
Uncommon Glass Designs

Glass Cat Jewels specializes in fused dichroic glass jewelry as well as other fused and stained glass designs. I've been an artist since forever. Over the years I've done a variety of art but GLASS has been my chosen medium for about 18 years now. First working with stained glass making panels and suncatchers I am now into bead making and fused glass. GLASS is my passion. It is my creative outlet and my main source of relaxation. I can't imagine not doing it. Thank you for shopping on Etsy, a site where you purchase directly from the artist. Click on the banner below to view her gorgeous work!

Use It - It's Fabulous!

I have a strong appreciation for Functional Art. According to the Gallery of Functional Art, they define it as "Functional Art is the blending of form, function, sculpture and fine art." In other words, it looks good and you can use it for practical or impractical applications: jewelry, furniture, pottery, felting, etc.

I also have a love and appreciation for the hard-working, wonderful artists of Worldwide Women Artists Group. With almost 300 members, each woman creates her own unique fabulous artwork in myriad of forms.

So, when I chanced an Etsy Treasury, I decided to combine these two loves and came up with a very lovely treasury with very wonderful functional art by very excellent artists! You can view by clicking below until Wednesday, June 18th.

A special thank you to Robin Hernandez for organizing this event! Robin best summarizes her professional work with sculpture, ceramics, paintings, and other wonderful multi-media art in this way:

"I make art using a variety of media. Of particular interest to me is creating art from found objects, and returning them to their former glory as prized property. In blending the human figure with these “rescued” objects--I create sculpture that is highly anthropomorphic, thus illustrating the connections we have to our personal belongings.

I am an interdisciplinary artist, not feeling constrained to work in any one medium."
