New for the blog

It is time to upload some more pictures of some old and recent work. The blue cloisonne piece has a 14kt pin stem and sold over Christmas at van Yperen Jewellers in Vancouver. The second picture I like because the picture is nicer that the painting I did while I was on holiday in Clearwater BC. If I can find the picture of the cloisonne Echinaca prayer box I did I will up load that also.

Inclusion

Currently I'm still making jewellery but taking an educational assitant program at Langara College. In the last I completed my first practicum at a high shool in Vancouver. Oh what a suprise highschool was. It did cure my lateness to things. Fortunately I was able to work in three classes with childern who have varrious levels of Developemental disablities and learning disablities. Perhaps I was lucky to have been over looked at least I was included in every oppertunity that was presented I may not have qualified for say the vollyball team but i was never excluded for trying.

Opps I can't seem to locate that image!

Floor show Belt Buckle

This an old piece I made back in the eighties while at Harbourfront in Toronto it was in a group exhibition called the Floor Show. This summer I 've been invited to make a new buckel for Diana Sanderson's Show on Granville island. The show is called Buckles Baubles and Buttons. It should be exciting. I'll keep you posted as to when the dates are .

Drawing class

This drawing was done in first term. I like it because it reminds me of someone looking at herself in a mirror. Today was the last class of drawing. It will be along time before I'll do anymore life drawing most likely. Life drawing is so good it very much demands your there in the moment there is no time to think of anything else but the marks your making the shadows your seeing, the light, the lines your looking at the desire to get it all done and the image your creating in such a short period of time. It is probably the most demanding thing I do but so worth it.
