I decided I would also like to share with you things that have inspired
me or have had a profound effect on my thinking. You may a see a quote,
a website, pictures and whatever else has stopped me in my tracks and
made me stop long enough to see or feel inspiration. So here goes:
These are my favorite websites:

I'm working on lots of great pieces, and the Oakland Museum show ends this weekend. It was great and I did REALLY REALLY well. More photos soon!
APRIL FOOLS Day: Just kidding though it's close... I'm off to buy semi precious stones and lots of silver... wish me luck.
March 24th: Hope your Easter was the best. I'm working on Open Studio's for the end of April (last weekend) and applying for shows in May & June. My folks noticed one of my Necklaces on a newscaster for Channel 8 (ABC). I contacted the gallery that I had consigned it to and waa laa- IT IS MY
DESIGN ! Pretty cool huh!
March 16th: The Oakland Museum show is off to a grand start.
Hope you can get to it. All is well here, with lots of new designs on my sketch pad for this spring and summer. With
the silver market going crazily high- prices will be reflected..
I wish it wasn't so.... Happy St. Patty's day tommorrow!
March 5th: Open Studios is 7 weeks away, and now the weather is beautiful, I'm back in the studio - lots of new designs, and wonderful pieces.... have you seen the gold and silver prices lately - yee gads! ...Not good news for us little people huh?
Feb: 25th: I MADE IT- into the Oakland Museum Collectors Gallery Show- "Metals in Motion" March 2nd-April 20th. 2008. The Opening party Reception is March 8th- 2-4pm- Hope to see you there. More shows coming soon!
January 29th: I archived last years news to make room for
more :-). 2008 has been a great start for this year. The Oakland Museum show will be in Feb. and San Benito Open Studios - APRIL 26 & 27. I'll be adding more shows- the entries are out... I'm awaiting the Juror's answer. I'm enjoying a Tai Chi class twice a week and have been knitting to keep my creative juices going during this cold/rainy season.
Thank you all so much for your show ideas and holiday emails.
I hope to see you soon.

Life is 10% of what happens to you and 90% how you respond.

"When the student is ready, the Master appears."

It is good to have an END to a journey:
but it is the journey that matters,
in the END.
Ursula k. Le Guin
"It's not what you are that holds you back; it's what you think you are not". by:Denis Waitley
"Be the Change you Wish to See in the World". gandhi
From what we get, we make a living; what we give however; makes a life.
This quote will make you want to hug your kids,
grandkids, and all the kids you love....
"What a child doesn't receive he can seldom later give."
P.D. James
I heard this quote on "survivor" - Yes, I like that goofy show:
Love Many, Do Harm to None....Trust Few.
"If you love rainbows.... you have to put up with the rain".
Dolly Parton
(from a youth hostel wall in India)
"Youth isn't a time of life, it's a state of mind. (It's) a
predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure
over the love of ease. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may
wrinkle one's skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles one's soul
! As long as one's heart receives messages of beauty, hope,
cheer, courage and power from others and the infinite, so long one is
young. When one's spirit is covered by the snows of cynicism and the
ice of pessimism, then one has grown old."
