New Tools!

As part of my b-day treat Lou & I went to A Cut Above in Van Nuys for new tools yesterday. Danny was so helpful. They have the best tools.

After the Shows...B-day Plans

I am back to carving some new sculptures as of today! I worked on 3 stones! Whirlwind week...with the 2 Shows now behind me, I can reflect a bit!

Friday night at Gallery 825 was incredible! Hundreds of people! The Angel got a lot of attention...so we shall see! LUIGI did too. PLUS got a nice mention in today's Malibu Surfside News with photos! (www.malibusurfsidenews.com/current_issue.pdf)

Sunday at Geneen's for the Salon was a room filled with people who already have a collection of my sculptures started and now adding some more! Plus I gave a little talk and it felt good-relaxed while talking to friends! Art made some great pedistals for my work and some really tastey food for us all!

Monday Lou & I went to a man's house near Pasadena for a look/see at his tools he wants to sell. He also had the largest amount of marble, alabaster, limestone and soapstones for individual use I have ever seen! He said he has been collecting for 45 years! And then there was all the saws and cranes to haul them with! AMAZING! I got a couple peach and salmon coloured stones for my next creations! YUMMY!

Tomorrow Lou & I will go to A Cut Above for some tools! A very exciting Birthday week!

We are hoping to see a movie over the weekend to celebrate. Well, the celebrating has been constant - this will be to relax!

Wish we could take Tanner with us!

Oh! That reminds me! Lou fell over Tanner a couple days ago and the poor guy has not been the same since....really traumatized. Lou was ok thank goodness! it could have been bad for his newly healed shoulder but it was fine. PHEW!

Now we will have to get Tanner back to square one though ): I think the new girlfriend Sketch (white pitbull mix-1 yr old) down the street will be able to set things straight for him pretty quickly. Just as soon as his paw heals up from running around like a boy in love yesterday!

SO CUTE TOGETHER!

Getting Ready For The Show

Going to Oasis Wellness Center in T.O. today to have a session with the jade roller beds....they always help my back after so much carving.  It's been 2 months straight now of almost daily work getting ready for my 2 upcoming shows  THIS WEEKEND!

I am very excited and now I'm READY!  

Brought my  sculptures to Gallery 825 on La Cienega  Friday and everyone there REALLY liked them.  Very nice people...Peter, Nancy and Maryam.  Friday is going to be something!  I am happy to be there....it feels like home.  I have very good feelings about this weekend.  Lou got his audition date to be on The Who Wants to be a Millionaire Show!  This birthday month  going to be such fun!
