Portland Bound

I'm heading to Portland, Oregon today to take art workshops at the Art & Soul Retreat. This is my third year attending. I chose a variety of classes this year: book making, enameling on copper, painting, and making a beaded bracelet. I'll post some photos when I return.

While in Portland, I'll be visiting my brother and his family. I'll leave you with a picture of a gift I am bringing them.

I made a wall hanging out of copper sheet. I cut the heart, hammered it, stamped the letters, then aged it with liver of sulphur. The glass beads were purchased at a craft fair
