Tom and I have been putting our work together. Just like us, it fits. Of course, Tom's jewelry is so good, it really doesn't need my input, however, my glass enamel does give it a certain flair.Jewelry really isn't my favorite work, I love 2D, but it seems the jewelry is what is selling at the moment. All of our shows this fall have been successful and I was especially pleased that some of my

She reminds me of "Bette" though not intentionally. This is one of a series of women I am working on. Only 5 X7" on copper. I had such a work streak going and accomplished quite a lot since I last posted. If I hadn't been interrupted by having to do my taxes, who knows what I could have accomplished. My left brain is such a nuisance.Life is good none the less.

Today found me eager to work on my enamels. I have in mind just what I want to do new for the next Final Friday at the Pendleton Art Center and the Kentucky Market on Feb. 19-21. Once I decide on my project and method to accomplish it, I am frantic to stay with it. Sorry to say, that didn't happen today. I needed to work at the shop and although it was a very slow day since school was

This six inch square enamel piece is on hammered and abused copper. Thin copper only 24 ga. was hammered on broken pebbled concrete and gouged with other blunt instruments before I cleaned it and enameled it. I used my prefered method of sifting ground enamel and leaving some copper exposed to firescale and burn. I love the effect of the over fired glass. It gives such lovely edges and ages

Art is a big part of who I am. Art fills my mind and my hands most of my waking hours and many times my sleeping hours, too. I haven't always had the time that I've wanted to paint. Many times I've stayed up in the wee hours to fulfill my desire to put color to paper, canvas, whatever. I'm obsessive that way. Whether it is painting, enameling, writing, or reading, once I start, I can't stop.
