PARTICIPATORY SPORT FOR CRAFT ARTISTS

Featured Crafthaus Members [All the Colors of the Rainbow]!
Born and raised in Gary, Indiana, the Jackson brothers (Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon & Michael) were born into a family in which their father, Joseph Jackson, a former musician, earned an income by working as a steel mill crane operator while their mother, Katherine Jackson, stayed home to raise the kids. Tito recalled playing around with his father's guitar one night while Joseph was away working in the steel mills and he broke one of the strings by mistake. Initially upset with his son playing the instrument behind his back, Joseph quickly recognized his boys' musical potential and started to encourage them to perform together. Showing extraordinary talent at a very young age, Michael began demonstrating his dance moves and singing ability at the age of five. His rendition of "Climb Every Mountain" sang at his kindergarten talent show earned him a place in his brothers' group. Before his eighth birthday, Michael was allowed to perform his song-and-dance routine at a talent contest held at Jackie's High School, helping his brothers win a competition. Tito's junior high school orchestra teacher Shirley Cartman began mentoring the budding group from that point on and - as they say - the rest is colorful history.

Since returning from Istanbul, it has been non-stop in the workshop, preparing work for orders and making some new pieces too. I've sidelined a number of works-in-progress in order to get on with more pressing issues, so there are no updates on my Chanel-inspired piece or my tribute to Alexander McQueen, though I have progressed apace with my first foray into electronics in jewellery, "14th Century Nightlife" which I hope to finish finally this coming week after it sitting on my bench for…
