We had visitors this weekend in the Village armed with cameras and and eye for art!  Take a look at the following link.  You will be amazed!    http://www.meetup.com/West-Coast-Photo-Group-of-Florida/photos/913480/14902580/#14902431

Okay, I am back from my recent travels and more ready that ever to start my new collection for the Art in the Park event.  Inspiration is firmly in place and sketches are ready to start taking shape.  Just received my new silver and gold wire in the mail along with some fabulous new gems sent from home in Tucson.  Today I will be in the studio, so come on by and tell me what you think!  Also, I know you have been waiting for an update on my display decision...driftwood or cypress stump...well...look below.  We opted for the stump and it is gorgeous!!  Wait until we light this baby and set her on a pedestal wearing the newest Blue Room Studios Rio Grande collection.  Thank you Mary!!!  Also, I had a glimpse of the event room and scoped out my event space.  Perfect!  I will be situated next to Duncan McClellan, (location, location, location) with wall display room for my four canvased photos of my hands making jewerly (photos by Stephen Vessenmeyer) and room for the Cypress Display and a large counter for bidding and individual jewelry "Inspiration Guides".  So excited. Each winner of my work will receive a gift bag filled with items donated from the various artists in the Village along with valuable coupons and promotions.  Hopefully we can lure some of these Pinellas County bidders down to Manatee County.
