Inspired by a Fish: Toggle Clasp Giveaway



Adirondack Heritage Brook Trout c. Judith Utter

Today I would like to introduce you to my friend, Natural Science artist Judith Utter.  She painted the Adirondack Heritage Brook Trout pictured above as well as many other plants and fish of the Adirondack and St. Lawrence Valley region of New York State.  She considers herself a naturalist and an environmentalist.  Her work reflects these themes.  


I was so taken with the colors of Judith Utter's painting of the Adirondack
Brook Trout that I have created a series of toggle clasps and a tutorial to celebrate its beauty.
To further acquaint you with Judith Utter's work, I am having a giveaway of one of my Adirondack Heritage Wrist Wrap kits.  Each kit includes one of the toggle clasps I made with the palette of Judith Utter's painting, 2 yards of Leather Lace, and a printout of the directions for making this bracelet, pictured below.
