has a tendency to do that with time. I hope with the warmer weather, my legs and feet will
stay a little more flexible and not so painful to get around. Anyway, even though I'm moving at
a snell's pace, I'm still moving. In my head, I'm dancing my heart out!
Enjoy this video I found on YouTube, music by Harry Belafonte, my "hubba hubba" back in the day.
I was asked to teach a beginners ceramic class at the Art League this semester. At first I
answered with an emphatic "NO", but after giving it some thought, I decided it is time to get
my feet wet again. My main concern is how I will hold up physically, but, I will hold a positive
thought and see how it goes.

I love researching ideas and lessons to teach, so I've spent a lot time this month experimenting
with some new and old lessons.
With the warmer weather, I enjoyed getting out and working on my kiln shed again.
My goal is to try to get it finished before the heat sets in, but we'll see what happens.
Some other ideas I've been playing with are rattles and how I can add beads and
fiber to my figures.
Two of my figures, "Shiloh" and "Buttercup" sold last month. I hope "Buttercup"
went to a good home, she was one of my favorites.
The art piece that was accepted at the Art League Gallery this month is called "Xiomara".
"Xiomara" is strung with strings of glass beads around her chest, beads and fiber adorn
her head and dangle from her torso.
In the Bin Gallery, "Pippen" is on exhibit. She is more of a whimsical piece with glass
beads adorning her hat.
