In my mind's eye, I look out ahead into a gleaming new year and a new decade as well. 2009 was a year of sweeping changes that kept me so busy, I was only barely aware of where I was headed.
As I reflect on the past, I'm counting my blessings, noting the successes and failures of the year, and getting ready to forge ahead into new territories.

Lapidary love is calling me. I am so ready to start grinding away at some drop dead gorgeous old stock gems I've had hidden away for years. It's time to share those beautiful stones with the world, all shined up and set in jewelry....
Concrete, steel, and repurposed found objects are more inspirations whispering in my ear. The yet unformed potential is beginning to congeal. Machines - Nature - Crystals - Fossils... Better get to my sketchbook!
