Thank you to the Dallas Morning News

Tomorrow, I should be featured in the Dallas Morning News Metro section. I'm really excited, and plan to spend today updating my website. So, check it out starting tomorrow for the latest info.

Snowbellies- not just for Christmas!

Here is the newest Snowbelly- Olly the Octopus! I'm still trying to get just the right mix of interior fluids to make the "snow" (in this case, tiny tropical fish) to float as long as I think it should, but he's pretty cute anyway. He has real freshwater pearls and seashells around his base.

Things I hate...

...fibromyalgia, back pain, rainy days... Actually, I just hate that they keep me from getting anything done. On the upside, I did finally make a Flickr page since my incredibly talented sister (who actually was interviewed by Lucasfilm earlier in the week) kept insisting I had to. Here is a piece I posted on it. This one is in a private collection, but it's still one of my favorites.

Corrupting a new generation

Ok, all I actually did was teach my daughter's Girl Scout troop some beginning polymer clay. They have a badge on "Making" hobbies and one of the requirements was that they have a craft professional come in and talk about their craft and how they ran it as a business. So I showed them my website and talked about balancing creating and administrative tasks, and we all made polymer magnets. The girls were really creative and went in directions I didn't expect! Thanks to Mrs. Nancy who invited me to come and speak.
