Curtis and I have been working away in our studio getting ready for vendor night at Artfest.
We are so excited to be included as vendors at this inspiring venue of artists.  If you have a desire to travel to an art class venue you should check out Artfest (www.teeshamoore.com).  This will be our 7th year of attending.  We love Seattle and Pt. Townsend so Artfest is just the icing on the cake!

Happy February

I nice thaw is coming - at least giving us a little break from the snowy and cold winter.  Curtis and I have been setting up and rearranging our metals studio.  A new rolling mill and workbench arrived from Santa and it has taken us some time to work out a new layout.  I LOVE our new rolling mill....well if you can love a cold steel object!
 A new necklace- a piece of copper I patterned, forged into a tube, drilled and patinated. I attached a fresh water pearl, etched glass and turquoise beads on spiraled wires through the tube and hung all this with copper chain.  There are links of beads interspersed in the chain that I did not show in the picture.  Curtis also bought me a photo studio tent with lights to take better pictures of my jewelry.  As you can tell I'm still working on accomplishing that feat!

A GRAND start to the New Year

Mother Nature started the New Year full of color.  What a spectacular sunset over the ice of Walled Lake.  I have not enhanced or changed any colors - the sky, the ice - all of it was truly on fire with color!  Mother Nature surely is inspiring.  Here is to being inspired to create all the year!  HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Please take some time to shop at the 212 Arts Center Holiday sale.  There are lots and lots of wonderful
handmade creations.

The Fritz and Friends open house and sale was a great success!
They may hold one again in June.  I'll keep you posted.

Off to create some gifts in the metals studio.  Hope you are enjoying this wonderfully snowy day Michigan is experiencing.  It is beautiful when you don't have to go out into it!
