So we’ve been to Westcliffe several times, but I haven’t shown you the pictures. Here are some of my favorite photos from our trips to my little piece of heaven. The first group should be no surprise – flowers. Some were planted and some are wild. BTW when I say […]

I’ve been giving a lot of classes and I’m really loving it. On the 3rd of February I had a combination Casting and Pocket Vase Class. It’s funny most classes people make the same thing i.e., dishes, ornaments, pendants. Well, I have several students who are advanced and like to […]
