Hi Seth ~ I'd love you to add my blog to the list. Also, perhaps you could post a few letters each time or a small chunk rather than 545+ at once. Nobody has time to look at all these great blogs!

We're expecting 5-8" of snow tomorrow on the eastern shore of Maryland. Guess I know what I'll be doing on my snow day off from school. Thanks for the list, Seth! Can't wait to dive in.
This is so awesome! I love it! Fondly, Tami
Please include my blog -joyfrommyheartblogspot.com
in the listing I too would like to share my blog and reconnect with all I know
Darla Deiparine
Hey Seth Apter! I just realized that you now have
THE most comprehensive URL list of mixed media blogs in the world. So sorry it took me this long to find your post. Oh my word, anyhow....
Although I know lots of these folks and their blogs, I do not know all, so it was quite the pleasure working through the llst. Oh, but wait, I saw my Simply Pretty Stuff there too! Gosh, I am blushing.......
There is one blog that I enjoy particularly, as she shares extraordinary insights about ordinary life
http://artjournaler.typepad.com. It belongs to watercolor artist, Loretta B Marvel. Unique circumstances allowed our paths to cross. I think she is lovely.
Another favorite is by a bead and sculptor artist, Andrew Thornton http://artjournaler.typepad.com
He and his partner own Allegory Gallery in Ligonier, PA. Unique circumstances brought me to his shop as well.
It was through Andrew that I then met, and became friends with, Gail Crosman Moore, a fabulous enamel and bead artist. Her blog is http://artjournaler.typepad.com and her things are inspired by pods and creatures found in nature.
You raise such a good point regarding media platforms and how they perhaps take away from the blog write time and even the very fabric. It used to be that I blogged to share personal epiphanies or obsevations with the rest of the world through my love and skill of writing. I let people who I did not know see me and shared what I wanted to share by writing from my studio or nearby coffee shop. FB has never been that same platform for me....for many others,too I imagine. FB, Twitter, and Instagram are necessary to connect, connect, connect and share Information. It is not , and was never intended to be creative journaling. It is purposeful connection to people and places you have known, who you want to get to know, or who somebody else already knows. Each has a purpose and each also takes time.
I feel like I need to reconnect with the original intent of my blogging. Even though I am late getting to yours, it was serendipitous. I would like to really "write" again instead of just being an advert platform for things I teach or publish. This would have greater meaning and satisfaction for me and perhaps would make some kind of a difference in the lives of others who read it.......and that is just this girl's opinion. : )
Thanks so much for including my ART Blog!
We Mixed Media artists need to stick together = )
What wonderful blogs. Painful to be taken out
of blog land for now- but so glad there are lots
of brilliant artists able to share their art and
thoughts through their blogs that you've showcased.
Jill
Wow!!! What a fabulous list. Will have to bookmark this page.Many happy hours of inspiration ahead. Just what I need to get my "Mojo" back.

What a list!!! Going to keep me busy exploring, for sure. There's a new kid on the block, official launch tomorrow (Middle Earth Time), a challenge blog focussing on the dark/creepy side, to which I've been invited to join as a CT. pre-launch posts already up for a taster at http://www.dreamindarkness.blogspot.com
Aworkofheart.wordpress.com would be a greatly appreciated addition.. Thanks Seth!
Thanks for the upgrade, INto the list :) Hope people have fun on the Dark side.
Thanks for adding my blog to the list, but I see that Bella's Scrappin Space is not a live link. I am going to slowly but surely work my way down the whole list a few blogs a day. I know some of them, but this list is awsomly comprehensive.
SRSLY --- Thank you - deeply appreciative for the work you put into this!
I love your site and having links to all the individual artists. Do you mind if I share your site on my blog and fb, etc? I want to reference the Top Five Blogs on ALtered art.
Hi Sandy. Thanks for asking and absolutely. Share away! Much appreciation. Seth
Oh my goodness...I didn't know you had all this great info, and to include me is a wow! Thank you! This was A LOT of work, and there are some blogs I did not know about. You seriously rock! I am loving your new line too...congrats!
I would love to join the community dedicated to arts. How can I submit my art blog to your community?
Thanks in advance.
Jason @ Macuha Art Gallery.
Hi Seth!
Thanks so much for supporting the ARTISTS and the ARTS!
Such a fabulous resource! Thanks for you dedication to the arts and artists, Seth. I'm honored to be on this list and back into my blog now that school is nearly finished! I have so many other blogs to explore as well. Best wishes, Patti
Fabulous list! So much amazing inspiration!~kim
Thanks for including me Seth. I still post weekly. In the beginning eight years ago it was daily! I've changed the name, but not the URL for my blog from "Getting My Feet Wet" to "My Art Journal"! I think my feet are finally dry and my focus clear as an art journaler!
What a super list! Thanks a lot Seth! I am happy to see so many of my lovely blogfriends on the list!WOW!
Great list! Thanks for keeping me in there tho' I've not blogged for ages. Mind you I've been doing several workshops, so will blog soon about those.
Imagine a City...
Imagine a city where every home had on it's front lawn a piece of sculpture or an art installation.
Imagine a city where each and every business invited artists to exhibit their work to the company's patrons.
Imagine a city where instead of gifting clothing, electronics, chocolate, or cash, a work of art was given, and appreciated.
Imagine a city where each and every home housed and preserved an art collection. Where insecurities over self-interests were dispensed with, and collections reflected those varied tastes.
Imagine a city where glass, pottery, painting, photography. fibers, basketry, and even graffiti were embraced. Where the artists themselves were looked upon as a treasured resource. No matter their perspective.
Imagine a city where any construction project involved multiple artists, in its' execution.
Imagine a city which preserved its' creative heritage and embraced it.
Imagine a city which understood, that capturing a slice of life had merit. But to alter a communities perspective to embrace all thought and belief, strengthened it, not weakened it.
Imagine a city which led the World in cultural munificence which would then reap the reward of becoming a global mecca.
Imagine a city which could step outside of what others were doing could walk the path of its' own making.
Imagine a city where meetings to enact such change, needn't take place. Rather a spontaneous change came from its' citizenry itself.
Imagine a city which artists flocked to; enabling them to create without fear of censorship or derision.
Imagine a city not dependent upon their museums or art schools for their lead in any discussions of artistic merit, but rather the career artists themselves.
I have imagined this city since childhood, as have most of my colleagues. Instead we've swum through muck, hoping such change would miraculously happen without distracting us from our labors. Or moved to the closest metropolis which appeared poised to take the plunge.
Cleveland, like most cities, while not a blank canvas; is one, where the image it sports has faded beyond restoration. The time to paint over it has come. Shiny new unaesthetic buildings, are simply masking the rot.
Marc Breed, Fine Artist
"In the distant future, when America is a mere shadow of itself, who historically, shall be remembered? In sports, an argument can be made for Ruth, Chamberlain, Gretzky, Ali, et al. In Art, there is but one name, Breed."
-Smithsonian Magazine
Awesome Blog. Great wealth of material!
So glad to find you! Great list--looking forward to more art info. xo
Thank you for this incredible list. Sadly I have lost my place on it due to my lack of posts but I do plan to get back at it. I've almost forgotten how. I was so disappointed to see that many blogs that I used to follow have gone the way of my own so I'm really pleased to see such a current list as this one (and kudos for crossing off us slackers!).
Any chance of getting on your list? :)
Awesome list. Thanks so much
Seth! Thanks for including me - what a great list to be a part of. This is a majorly comprehensive directory, a service to all of us, and an ongoing source of inspiration. High fives!
This is such an incredible list. I'm looking forward to checking out every single one to put positive social media back in my life. FB is becoming something that isn't particularly healthy. I am seeking a more positive atmosphere. My own blog has also been neglected. Thank you for all you do to spread inspiration!
Always an honor to be here. This list is fantastic and I’m enjoying the links ever so much. It’s truly a treasure trove.

Hey Seth, thanks for keeping me on the list! I plough my lone furrow in the hope that someone will call by.
