Thanks so much "virginiaisforlovers" it always hard to lose our companions. Having several dogs and cats over the years I believe their spirit finds their way back to us in one form or another. My pre...

Hi Phil...Thanks so much for the compliment. It's great to be back. Yes it's a wonderful place needs lots of TLC. Work continues upstairs and plenty of outside work in the other buildings once the wea...

Hi Hamish.....I think the term used for these mid-century type glazes is "fat lava". It's a broad term though and covers the smooth earth tones with brillant orange and red colors to the heavy texture...

Such a nice suite of opals Karen and each one unique. I love it when nature allows you to get just a bit closer. We have a flock of English sparrows that live in our dwarf Alberta spruce over the wint...

These a are all wonderful Karen ...I'm with Ken I love the dragonfly and the other insects as well. Even the creepiest crawly becomes a work of art in jewelry. :)

As TallCakes said bookends..... I have one too just like it. We have a pair between the two of us ..lol :)

Wow beautiful ! ...our trees are still budding. No leaves yet, but we've had awful weather here in Ohio. Winter just doesn't want to throw in the towel. Yesterday was the first really nice day in a we...

Thank you Anik and Fort, Yes she can really capture the personality of what ever she makes. It's astounding ! :)

Thanks Scott :) You'd love her large rabbits. Lately she's been pairing her creations with other objects, that's how I got the idea to use the piano. She had a door mouse using a mini shaving plane an...

Thanks Ken, she really does incredible work. :)

What a beauty..anything red gets my vote 100% of the time. :)

Very cool "H".... I detect a bit of influence from India. Wonder if it was made there or in Asia. :)
