I got tagged by my dear friend Marie Otero, while she was far away in Australia, to participate in her MEME. So to stay on her good side I though I would. I am going to go visit her in New York next week and leaving late Sunday night on a red eye flight. Here goes:

Rules of the meme: Respond and rework. Answer the questions on your own blog; replace one question that you dislike with a question of your own invention; add one more question of your own. I am tagging Dneese, Lynn, Beth, Julie.

I went to the Northern California Bead Society show last weekend and met up with old friends and found some new ones. Here is a beautiful pin I found made of ceramic and raku fired. It was made by Gail Splaver who works mostly in ceramic and is also a bookmaker and print artist and teaches over at the SF Center for the Book. Isn't it perfect?!

She also made this face bead I just had to have. I drew the picture around it because I was inspired. Gail approves.

Here is something I found that sounds nice.
