which seems so long ago now but I wanted to show you how much fun it was and some of the people who were there.
(I'm letting the sealer dry on some zine pages now)
Vicki was class photographer. She just got her first digital camera and I think she did a pretty good job.

The creative woman who started it all by getting in touch with me about having a class - Judy.

Her sister Ruth and friend Brenda...

That's me workin' on somethin'. We had so much fun. Everyone made beautiful pieces and we managed to fire, brush and tumble everyone's work. We also had a wonderful lunch and there was even desert and chocolate!

I wish I had more photos of what everyone made but I was so wrapped up with what I was doing. Vicki started using her own camera instead of mine and she has been very busy so we still have to download those here.
Some people left around 6PM. Diana stayed late and we talked and laughed until 9:30. I was so wired and jazzed from it all I started to put things away and didn't stop spinning until 4AM. Where does that energy come from? I think it comes from a place inside of me that loved that day and having so many people over to immerse themselves in my favorite subject - metal clay!
Something different - my friends and I at the Museum of Craft and Folk Art in San Francisco.

The museum had an exhibit, and I forget the artist's name (dang!) where the person remade famous jewel necklaces in legos. We had to wear these white gloves to be able to handle the merchandise.
