It's been so long since I've blogged. I'm back.....: ))))!!! There's been so much going on!!! I'm in AZ and I'm taking a ton of classes. This past weekend I took another enameling class. This time it was a 3-D enameling class with Mary Chaduk. Mary was recommended to me by Barbara Minor and it was a fantastic class by a terrific artist. The class was at the Mesa Arts Center. It is a place that I am really impressed with.

These are some of the pieces I worked on this past weekend. I'm so excited to be learning all these new techniques. I hope to eventually incorporate my style in these enameled works.

Manon, you are making some great art pieces and enjoying the beauty of Arizona, as well. To me, Arizona seems like another world compared to our Eastern states.
Enjoy your stay out there and keep those creative juices flowing. It's great to see you back on Blog!!!

Heh Manon, I am with Ces, the handcuffs are doing something for me :)

No but seriously, if I lived near you I would be tempted to get my ears pierced after seeing your wonderful work :)

I haven't had it done yet because it's so windy here, the wind whistles through the holes and makes it hard to concentrate.

Diana Evans said...

Andrew Finnie said...

Manon, I woke up yesterday morning looking three times more beautiful thanks to you. So I thought I would come and thank you. Unfortunately all the neoighbour's wives are starting to look at me in 'that' way. You know, 'that' way. Hmm. And there is an odd man who wears pink slippers has started to follow me - he looks like Liberace - but not dead.

I have decided to come and ask if you have a reversal treatment? Sometimes, I think it might be safer to be three times less attractive...
