It has been a while since I checked-in with your site, and I must say your photos are brilliant! Professional looking from where I stand... sit! I mean. Bobbing around out in the ocean must be stirring your creativity. No shortage of new ideas from you. Tigerfish! The big fish eating medium fish eating little fish. Makes me giggle! See you soon!

Yes, your point is certainly well taken. In fact, I thought of all those things when I completed that posting. I had intended to write a follow up on that post talking about our different perceptions of exactly what art is. When we were growing up, all those things never entered my mind as "art" it was just stuff my parents did in their spare time. It wasn't until I became an adult pursueing art as a "job" that I thought about when and how it all started. I think the whole blog thing is pretty cool... I am simply having a hard time keeping up with the writing of them. LOL I am so tickled to hear from you Karen. Thanks! Long lost friend indeed! Yes, your point is certainly well taken.

I spent many an hour in your house growing up and I can't think of anyone else that had as much art in it as yours did. Your dad's model ships? Your moms many projects (I remember small model rooms at one time and needlework projects always!). And then the trains in the basement? I can't think of anyone more likely to end up an artist as you :P. OK, as a long lost friend, I am going to pick on you a bit.

I found you to be a very pleasant person! I plan to drive up to your shop very soon. I hope you still have those flower beads for sale! *crosses fingers* I enjoyed viewing your beautiful work at the bead show on the 9th, couple of weeks ago. I found you to be a very pleasant person!

I make beads, and the actually glass melting part is such a small amount of time compared with everything else. I still love it though. I try an make each task something that I like at the time that I'm doing it anyway. The business of art really is a lot of work, isn’t it?

Always fun getting together with you and talking about our latest projects. I look forward to your next polymer clay meet in March at Barnes & Noble in Anchorage. Sorry about February... have to finish oil painting class. Your web site and Etsy sites are great. Both of them demonstrate a lot of foresight, thought and diligence. Besides being a fantastic sculptor you are a fine photography. VERY NICE photos! Thank you for sharing peeks of your new inspirations at coffee this a.m.!
