    Victoria, your work is amazing!! I'm so glad you are in the first five exhibition. My students think you are a goddess! It's the mokume that really gets them going...

    Great! I have so many students interested in mokume gane, and I SUCK at it...would you ever consider coming out as a visiting artist and give a demo? (pardon my shamelessness in asking!)

    Hey Victoria! Nice to hear from you. Things are good up here, I'm still trying to work my way in to the Portland art scene but I'm loving the possibilities. I sure miss all my art people though. I see you're still at Arrowmont? True? Are you loving it?
