Mercury in #@*%ing retrograde!

I read on Traci Bunkers blog that mercury is in retrograde.  

I'm not one to follow astrology much, but I do know that BAD things seem to happen to me when this occurs.  My life has been turned inside out for the last 3 weeks or so, all surrounding communication & planning- to the point where I just want to unplug everything & go hide in a cave somewhere!
Having this information at least makes me feel a little bit better, so if your life is nuts right now, hopefully you will also feel some relief.
Thanks Traci!
By the way, it ends around the first of Feb, so hang in there!

Hacienda Mosaico, Donations needed

As some of you may know, Sam, the owner of Hacienda Mosaico has had a very tragic year.  

As a result, her studio was completely stripped of all art supplies, she literally has a few tools & nothing else.  
When I think about having what I am most passionate about stripped from me, my art, it just kills me, so I want to do something to help her out.
Since I will be going down in March, I would like to fill up 3 pieces of luggage with supplies for her.  I already have close to one bag filled! 
 I am always blown away at how our art community comes together to help each other out during difficult times, so I decided to put this out there.
Many of us have a ton of art supplies that we no longer use, I would like to ask all of you for donations...& help you to get a good start on your spring cleaning!
It sounds like what she needs most are tools, silversmithing tools, rotary tools, kiln supplies (I have no idea what this means, but if you own a kiln, you probably know)
Any other art supplies would also be great, paper, images, the only thing that we don't need is fabric & ribbon, I already had someone donate 3 full trash bags full!
If you can help, please let me know & I will give you my address (or hers, if you feel like shipping it to Mexico)
Thanks so much in advance!

HAcienda Mosaico, Plan Z

We are looking for a few art & fun loving seekers to join us at Hacienda Mosaico, a house in Puerto Vallarta Mexico with a studio space, a pool & close proximity to the town & beach.  This is an invitation to have FUN & make art, March 15-21, in a place with unparalleled natural beauty & a vibrant culture.

This is not a workshop, but a fellowship of like minded people.  I was scheduled to teach a workshop during the first week of March & Sas Colby was scheduled to teach the following week.  Since neither workshop filled, we decided to combine our trips to experience the wonderful energy of Puerto Vallarta & all the love & beauty that the Hacienda has to offer.
Because the desire to be in Mexico is strong in me, I am hoping that there are others who can join us at this time for an art vacation.  No agenda or schedule, everyone is free to do whatever they want.  Sam, the Hacienda owner, is used to hosting groups of artists & will have helpful suggestions for local explorations & activities.  
Please check out the website at www.haciendamosaico.com, & contact Sam to make your reservations.

                                                   SOLD



That's what I'm feeling today, both at the same time, both at the extreme.

So no more words today, just images.

Plaster



Been playing with plaster a lot over the past few weeks, I just love the depth & texture that I get with it.
