Spinning into Summer
Summer seemed to arrive last week with a streak of super hot sunny days. I always kick off the summer with the Westott Art Trail, the first weekend in June, which is this Saturday and Sunday. This year I will once again be set up with my jewelry at the home of Candace Rhea on Clarke Ave.. She is a potter with gorgeous work and a wonderful garden as well. The show is throughout the Westcott Historic Neighborhood in Syracuse. Follow the link at the right for details on times and locations!

Heading to Philadelphia!!
You're invited to the Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen Rittenhouse Square Show this weekend. The show is right in the heart of Philadelphia, outdoors, and free! It funs Friday and Saturday 11-7 and Sunday 11-5. This is my first time exhibiting in Philadelphia. Wish me luck, and stop by if you happen to be in the area:)

"Courage"
"...to live without belief, that is a fate more terrible than dying." -Joan of Arc
I'm in the process of submitting several of my projects for possible publication (wish me luck!). In preparation for that I recently borrowed some older pieces from one of my treasured customers so that they could be photographed. It is really fun for me to visit with my past work for a time. Revisiting the ideas that inspired those pieces stirs up my creative process and helps me to think through where I've been and where I'm going in my work.
Speaking of where I'm going, I think I have caught the travel bug in a serious way. I am once again traveling, this time to Prescott, AZ where I went to college. My son is considering it for school himself so he is here with me for a tour. I am so in love with the Southwest!! I left in 1993 and have wanted to return ever since. The landscape is simply spectacular. We drove yesterday from low desert in Phoenix up through saguaro cactuses and into the pine forrest landscape of northern Arizona. There is so much here to fuel creative energy! Today I'm hoping to visit several galleries with Native American art and jewelry, which I adore and finish the day with a hike. I'll share some photos later! Happy Cinco de Mayo!!
