Happy Holiday Shopping – Locally!
I love hiking outside during great Fall weather in the Sonoran Desert. On a recent hike in Flagstaff, AZ I spotted several hearts on the trail. Some of them are man made but still pretty to come upon. Here are some highlights that inspire me to get out my opaque watercolors and paint these pretty pictures.
Your vote matters. I know sometimes it feels like it doesn’t, but if every registered voter got out and used their right to vote you could actually have your voices heard. It is so important to remember that as a US Citizen this is a right totally taken for granted. Ask yourself “What would it look like if my right to vote was taken away”? Use it or lose it! Get out and Vote today!

I love when I can set aside time to create for a week solid. I recently did that and immersed myself in jewelry making. I created these necklaces using a variety of materials including: T-shirt yarn, colored wire, colored string, big wooden beads, small glass beads and ceramic beads that I made by hand using air dray clay. I am pleased to share that these are for sale locally at Practical Art in Central Phoenix. Here are just a few of my favorites to show examples of what you’ll see.
Recently I was able to take a glass blowing class at a local glass shop called Circle 6 Studios. I used my class time to create a blown pumpkin. It came out so lovely and sweet I am excited to display if for the fall season.
This is a shot of me working with the instructor, sticking the glass on the end of the rod into the glory hole.
And this is me seated and the bench using the large tweezer like tool to shape the pumpkin before it’s blown into the bulb like shape.
Glass blowing is an amazing experience. I cant wait to do it again!
