New LensWork Workshop Series!

I was just stopping by the website of my favorite photography magazine LensWork - www.lenswork.com

To call it a magazine doesn't do it justice. Editors Brooks Jensen and Maureen Gallagher put together a fantastic collection of print work in each issue with a print quality unmatched by any other (IMHO). LensWork isn't just about the photographs, but about the creative process as well. Lots there to feed the creative fires.

The hot news from LensWork is the release of LensWork Visual Workshops on disk! I've longed to go to the workshops in person, but getting time and cash to occur in the right combination is a bit of a challenge. I'm really excited by this development and encourage you to stop by the LensWork site to check out both the magazine and the workshop offerings.

The first in the series is on PDF publishing so get your images together and see what you can put together!

Starting Off

Welcome to FireBearDesings - The Blog!
Hello there! I'm Carol Jones - the 'creative force' behind FireBearDesigns (meaning I came up with the idea so there's no one to blame but myself ;-). FireBearDesigns is the latest creative outlet for me and currently covers my interests in photography and hot glass work (these days lampwork bead making) - though you never know just what a FireBear could get into :-). I get ideas and inspiration from all sorts of art so you'll probably see a variety of topics show up here in the FBD Blog as well as FBD news and events. I'm looking forward to blogging and hope you find something here that gets your own creative fires going.

Flame On!
