Visited the Denver Gem and Mineral Show this weekend....I gravitate to the African, Moroccan, Tibetan...and came home with many little treasures.
and pulled together some bits of this and that in blues and bronzes and copper
to begin a new piece
Here I am.
I love looking at beads and seeing what falls from the hands of the Magical Beaders like YOU. Standing by and joyfully waiting.....

That last pic was speaking to my heart, it has great things to say...
I went to a lovely event Sunday and thought of you, Our International Womens Day Celebration. Think you would have enjoyed:)
How did your paper paintings turn out?

Aren't those scarabs the best? I've used several of them in different pieces and love the look and feel they relay.
