Sunday, February 24th My life is not always a cupcake, but I have to tell you, the last weekend at the Yuma Symposium was sweetness itself. The Thursday night review of upcoming workshops left me doubting there would be anything really special I could carry home. Oh my, how wrong I was. One workshop after [...]

Goldmine In My Own Living Room
Friday, February 22 Most notable today was a talk by Dean Adams, professor of ceramics at Montana State University. From the beginning of his talk I was drawn to this generous, open-hearted man who urged us to make the best use of every minute we have left. He reminded us of death and how much [...]

White And 37
Thursday, February 21 A demographic? No, a weather condition on the trip to Yuma. As we climbed the mountains of the Cleveland National Forest the temperature dropped from the low 60s to 37 degrees in a half hour. From partial sun to rain. And from green hills to white. The drive took me right back [...]

Marching To The Table
Well, the Lord knows I do love comfort food. Warm whole grain bread, pasta in almost any form, homemade pie, and on and on. I am sure you are not particularly interested in my food preferences, let alone food addictions, so I will write about the Yuma Symposium instead. “The Yuma Symposium is comfort food [...]

Do You Live In Tokyo Too?
When you live in a small house there is never enough space. So how do I cope? Pretend like I live in Tokyo of course. This coping mechanism began years ago after seeing a program on how Tokyo residents organize their lives in tiny apartments. After doing a little research for this article I realize [...]

Metals Week In Idyllwild 2013
Greetings! Registration for Metals Week in Idyllwild is just around the corner so this is a heads up. Metals Week has been a major influence in my development as a jewelry designer. Not only have I learned a lot, it has been great fun along the way. What is Metals Week? Think 5 day jewelry [...]

A Checkered Past
I know this is a juicy title and with today’s star-studded scandals you might be anticipating nothing less. However, anything I have done in my life may be momentarily entertaining but far from titillating. On to the issue at hand. I am sharing with you how a jewelry technique has eluded me for years, and [...]

This And That
One of my favorite rings made it into the most recent issue of Jewelry Artist (December 2012, p. 42). The ring uses a number of techniques: hollow forms, piercing, use of gold bi-metal, beveling edges, soldering an already set stone, texturing and tube setting. Look for this project on the next class lineup. Also look [...]

Rome’s Gift
My last post was, well, supposed to be just that, the last post of this journey to Italy. But, there was one more story to tell. I am writing this at 5 am, street sweepers and commuters waking up Rome, with just several hours before we leave for home. We knew it would take a [...]

Will Rome Ever Rest?
The contrast between Tuscany and Rome is both dramatic and jarring. It is midnight as I write my last blog installment from Italy. Why so late? The city is abuzz as if commuters are retuning from their work day and I am buzzing right with them. Entering Rome was easier than we anticipated. Life is [...]
