Welcome the talented Lori Plyler of Waterstone Studio!

I am the proud owner of several of Lori's handbags/totes.  I liked mine so much, I  gave a clutch of Lori's to my mother for Mother's Day.  Mom was tickled!  So I knew I wanted to include Lori in this Virtual Book Tour.  Besides the fact that I like Lori and think she's over-the-top cool and talented, I thought of her super-cool bags and how great the enamel elements would look with them.  Look what Lori made!








Here's the giveaway at Lori's blog.

Cathedral Beads

    so, I've been following Lori longer than I've followed you. She is a great artist and inspired me to add leather to many of my pieces as well. Love those beads she is giving away!

    I am inspired by Lori's use of enameled pieces on her beautiful leather goods. This has been a blast seeing all of the varied ideas. Can't wait for the rest.

    I am now a follower of Lori.

    I also want to know if you will be teaching in the Midwest, say Chicago area, anytime soon. I want so much to take a class from you.
