Jana Roberts Benzon Workshop

well it has been a week since I picked Jana and I am now finally recovered enough from the workshop and spending time with Jana. It was good to have time with her since we haven’t been together in almost a year. I am blessed that I can call her a very close friend. Today my “job” will be editing my pictures from the two day class and writing my take on it all. Come back tonight or tomorrow for the post.

holy crow, she is giving away 7 1/2 pounds (yes you read that right POUNDS) of beads.

Denise Yezbak Moore is having an incredible giveaway in honor of her “Big Reveal”. 7 1/2 pounds…….. yes, I said pounds……… of beads. I am guess that the big reveal is her article called “Katie’s Crush” in the newest issue of “Stringing” for Summer 2010.

hello fellow clayers. Just a heads up that seats are filling fast so if you are thinking of taking this workshop now is the time to reserve your space. It only takes a deposit of $50 with the rest due at registration. As an added incentive….we will be having SWAG bags for all attendees. And in case anyone is worried about Bakersfield at the end of July….no worries. There will be killer AC at the workshop venue.

Hope to see you there!

Finally, back in the studio!

Lately I have been taking care of my wife after she had shoulder surgery, which meant no studio time for me. Well, her recovery is going so well that she is back to work two weeks post surgery. She is a pencil pusher and it wasn’t her dominant arm so all is well. She is continuing PT three times a week and is getting better with more range of movement every day. I am so proud of her.

I got back into the studio with a vengeance a couple of days ago. My muse has been slapping my brain for the last month or so and now I needed to listen. While a design was/is percolating in my head, I worked on some rainbow beads for a friend in Scotland. Here are a few of the ones I have made so far. None of them are sanded or buffed, just fresh out of the oven.

Of course I HAD to do something with the cane ends right? So I made some funky flowers for the little bud vase in my VW Bug. It is a convertible so real flowers or cloth flowers don’t hang in so well

Flowers for my car

Today I will be making MORE rainbow beads, some more swirlies and hopefully get to work on this earring design my muse came up with.

Have a wonderful clayful day!

A new Site

I was gone last week, an unexpected trip to Denver for a funeral. However, while I was there, spending time with my heart sister, she showed me this great bumper sticker she got from her nephew. I managed to get one also for my car.

Love Lasts Longer Then Life

I think it says it all. What a wonderful way to gently remind yourself that even though a loved ones physical being is gone, the love for them will always be forever in your heart, mind and soul. Ryan has a wonderful site set up for a clothing line with this saying. I know I am going to get a sweatshirt when I get rich and famous.
