I’ve been teaching a lot lately and having a wonderful time with fabulous participants in my workshops.  This weekend I travel to Solvang, CA, to teach at my dear friend Kandra‘s gorgeous bead store.

Metal mosaic pendant with pearl.

We’ll be working with Art Clay Copper, making pendants and other necklace components suggested by leaves, vines, pods and flowers.  I just finished this pendant that was inspired by the collage work of Hadar Jacobson.  I can’t wait to share this mosaic technique.

While I’m in central California I’ll get to see my dad who’ll be 93 in October.  He still lives on his own and is amazing.
