circle of friends...

When a friend shares a friend something amazing can happen...life becomes more richly textured, and you glimpse in yourself something strong and positive, someone worth giving too, something to be cherished within yourself.

 

...hello new week, I have a lot to share, I am grateful for my friends and what they share with me. 

I am grateful for the texture and stories they add to my world...

Hello Michele and congrats on your feature in Where Women Create...it was a treat to shoot this piece and get to know you...

Hello Jo Packham I am grateful to you for sharing your friends.  (When Jo needed someone to shoot Michele's studio for the current issue of Where Women Create, I got the call and headed to CT.)

Hello to what I found....3 hours later I was in Michele's home, and in about 15 minutes she was in my heart.  Hello to her world is gentle and richly textured, as are her creations. 

 Hello to the small magic of a friend's creations in work in her studio...

Hello to seeing things in print....sometimes a story takes a long time and a lot of work, but there's nothing better than holding that article in your hands...

 Michele's story and studio are truly inspiring...I hope you will read both in the current issue of Where Women Create...

Hello new issue, can you believe this is #17....I was in issue #1 in 2008 and it seems like a forever ago!

 Hello to all my friends, and thanks for all you give me...

support, affection, appreciation and love.

 Hello small wonders of the week...I hope I can be as productive as I need to be...there's a lot to do.

 Hello to the world...love these globes Michele makes her own with gobs of found objects and mosaics...

Hello beautiful things....I hope you see them all around you.

 Hello creamy white treasures, there's snow everywhere and white is the color of cold to me this week...

You share something that is important, something maybe only you understand... and then it blooms in understanding. Hello to sharing ideas.

Hello week...
