Okay the title of this post may be a bit misleading.... Lat wekend I participated in the Llano Estacado Wine and Clay Festival. As a member of the Llano Estacado Clay Guild I was able to exhibit my work. Since I'm a beginner with working clay I showed my jewelry.. I say I 'showed' my jewelry since there wasn't much selling. I know there must be something I am doing wrong. I did make expenses but I need to be able to support my passion and that didn't happen. This seems to be a common problem each time I do a show.
The truly great thing about this show is that it is held on the grounds of the Llano Estacado Winery. The winery provided tickets for the artists to use for food and/or wine. I had one glass Saturday and two on Sunday. If the show had lasted longer.....I had a dozen tickets left over.
I suppose this summer is a turning point for me. The grants a scholarship that I had counted on to go to school in the fall didn't come through so I am going to change directions.

- This is turning out to be a wonderful time of life for me. I am finding out that it's okay for me to indulge my dreams. It has taken me a long time to realize that dreams are important. It doesn't matter if they come true or not. What matters is that I have dreams. I have had a life-long love of rocks. Twenty years ago I taught myself to make jewelry using Sterling Silver, copper and brass. A few years ago I started college and found painting, B/W photography and pottery.

Hi, Hello!
I am organizing Planned Parenthood's annual fundraiser this year on August 14th, and I was thinking about having a slient art/jewelry auction/raffle at the event to bring in extra money as well. Would you be interested in donating some of your art to the cause? All money raised this year will be going to help women without insurance receive their annual checkups, STD exams and birth control, so your help would be so greatly appreciated! Thank you so much!
