Sunday
I had originally nothing planned for the Sunday of my visit. I had been hoping that Victoria would be able to get down from Seattle to meet me, but that didn't happen. Mike - from Velvet da Vinci - and his partner, Tom, took me out for breakfast at "Brenda's", the most happening place in San Francisco for breakfast, it seems (we had to wait about 40 minutes for a…

Merry Renk in Memory Memorial
I recently found out that merry renk passed away and feel an obligation to say something in fitting tribute. In a time when yesterday is so often considered "old hat", it is wonderful to know that merry renk lived long enough to see her jewelry from mid-20th century recognized in major museum exhibitions.…

SNAG Toronto part 4
I'll leave my Toronto report with a few notes about the conference lectures and presentations. I'd have to say that there certainly was a mosaic of diversity in the 3+ days at the Royal York Hotel. From Damian Skinner's stoic keynote series on the jewelry making/marketing universe in his musical New Zealand accent, through a series of very short "rapid-fire" presentations by a wide variety of artists, to the Professional Development Seminar that lashed the artists and their works to the…See More
John Lunn left a comment for Jennifer Dewey"How great is that! See you there.
And....yeah, don't forget those chasing tools - I'm sure I'll want them."
Billie Jean Theide left a comment for Louise Perrone"Hi Louise,
I am so excited to have met you in Toronto.
Your work is fabulous!
Billie"

Jennifer Dewey left a comment for John Lunn"Regardless of concert, we could meet Saturday morning and walk into show together... I do want to show you the extra chasing tools at some point (hope I remember to pack them - note to self), in case you want any of them :) Here's my cell…"
John Lunn left a comment for Jennifer Dewey"Im doing the standing room only on the dance floor at Santana. I stand all day at my work bench so standing through a concert is no biggie for me.
Otherwise, after the show or the next morning we could have breakfast and head into the jewelry…"

Been sifting through the SNAG conference pictures and info to compile entries for this week, for those who didn't have the chance to attend -in the meantime, thanks for your patience. I'd love to hear your…"
Jennifer Dewey left a comment for John Lunn"So glad you'll be able to buzz through show... it is HUGE, I hear, so probably difficult to meet up there.
I was thinking about seeing Santana... maybe I'll bite the bullet and we could meet up there. What section are your…"
