Thanks for all the healing butterflies we received!   Keep them coming!   So many people have severe health issues.   Those of us who have a network of friends and family that offer both emotional and physical support are indeed the lucky ones.   It’s how we get through the bad times.   So I am taking this opportunity to once again thank our friends and family for their continued love.   The phone calls, emails and hugs mean so much.   Being reminded that each story is unique and not a repeat; being reminded that all I have to do is pick up the phone to hear a caring voice; and being reminded that there is always someone to listen have pulled me back from a previous story and grounded me in reality.   So we will go to Tucson and have more testing done on Peter.   We will see his doctor and build a game plan and go forward.   Whatever the results, they are treatable. We will continue to love, live and hang onto our wonderful network of friends and family.

A couple of weeks ago, I took Patrik Kusek’s Warm Connections Class with Craftcast   http://www.craftcast.com/classes .   I’ve been trying out some of his techniques for combining silver metal clay and polymer clay.  Several years ago I took Lisa Pavelka’s https://www.lisapavelka.com/Gallery.asp   classes at Art Unraveled http://www.artunraveled.com/   and learned just enough about polymer clay to think I could do anything!   I made a large mirror frame for a client out of copper polymer and incorporated beads and copper braid.   It turned out to be about 42” x 54”.   The frame was made with many (I mean many) pieces of 3” x 4” copper ruffles glued to a wood frame.   The client still has it and I still remember my friend Phyllis working with me to make more ruffles.    Polymer Clay Mirror Frame I still have some of that clay plus a lot of other colors.   It takes a lot of conditioning to make it pliable but it works!   It also took a couple of hours to clean the pasta m

Good Morning Everyone!   This week Peter and I are in Tucson AZ getting a 2 nd medical opinion for Peter’s recently discovered condition.   When I was deciding what to write or even whether to write a post today, I flipped through my photos and saw these butterflies.   They were in a store window in Coronado Ca when I was visiting.   I love butterflies and always thought it would be more than wonderful to have a room painted that almost sunshine yellow of the early morning.   Hundreds of butterflies would hang from the ceiling at different heights.   When I opened my eyes I could almost hear their wings pushing through the air and just maybe one would land on my  nose and in my heart!   I am imagining thousands of butterflies bringing healing thoughts, prayers, and warm energy to Tucson as we visit the doctors to find a way back to good health for Peter.
