Last weekend I had the best time taking the faux bone workshop with Robert Danick at the Brookfield Crafts Center. He has lots of energy which exudes in his teaching and is truly a giving artists. He'll give you ideas you couldn't even imagine and will play off any ideas you come up with. I worked mainly on two brac
elets which I sawed, carved, scratched, engraved, did resin inlays, tube rivets, screws and nail rivets, used acrylic paints and shoe polish and wa-lah-here are the finished products: 
And here is a picture from the class with Robert:
I will attempt to put some jewelry in my Etsy shop. Wish me luck. If not I'll be calling my Aussie pal, as usual. And for those who don't know, my dear friend Marie will be moving from Maryland to New York. I'm sure she is looking forward to me knocking at her door instead of calling when I have a problem.
With the warm weather arriving I spent my first day at the beach this year. You never know what you are going to see at the beaches in New York
actually the beach I go to is right across the Marine Park Bridge in Bell Harbor.
Since I am renovating the house, new kitchen and bath, it is not likely that I'll be working on a lot of jewelry so I'll give you an update in about 2 weeks.
Love the bracelets you made..they are da bomb!!! I will be ordering one of those for sure!!
Keeping busy down here with the boys but wish I was progressing life and the move up there too...
Miss you
