Hi Anne,

I won't be in Toronto. My father passed away and I'm going to his memorial...I'm leaving soon and in the middle of grading before I go. but off the top of my head for exhaust fans, I purchased one from Grainger many years ago and talked with an engineer that was very helpful. Tell them what you are doing and they will suggest something. Getting a bigger one than you need is better then one that is too small, and the Less bends in your duct work the better, and if you have to have a bend, two 45 degree angles is better then one 90. Strait up to the roof is the best. Contact me again if you need to. I'll have more time in the next few weeks. -deb

thanks, Anne.  I just joined crafthaus.   Love your work,too-- inspiring!

I'm not sure yet. I'm graduating that week but I'm definitely going to try and make it up for at least a few days! 

Hi Anne, it was great to meet you too! I was happy to see a familiar face on here! Thank you for your kind words, I love your work as well and I hope we meet again!

Toronto sounds like a great time, but I am not sure I can make it.  Haven't completely ruled it out yet, but it's unlikely.  

Hi, Anne - thanks for the nice remarks about my work.  We seem to be working with some similar interests.  Glad to see you also work in series - very nice stuff!

Hi Anne, I just enjoyed looking through your photos...your pigeon holed series strikes me right now, as I'm trying to break from just that thing. Your creative connections framing your pieces in are inspirational.  Best wishes!

Anne , with pleasure :)

I thought I saw your name on the Ferrous page. I didn't think you used steel, but a lot of jewelers use bits of it sometime. I had Larry Sanders take some images, and they turned out great.

Anne,

Good luck withthe Ferrous show. I know they will take your work. Some of these are images/work I haven't seen. 

Thank you!  Love your work

Hi Anne -

Smithsonian went well!  Not the best show I'd ever done, as many people told me it would be, but still in my top 5.  I was actually disappointed that I didn't do better!  :o)  But my bluebird brooch got used in a lot of publicity:  the show flyer, in newspaper ads, etc. 

Jazz Fest was amazing for me!  Thankfully it was because it's been getting me through the past 3 months financially.  I had 2 local shows after that which really sucked.  I did S. University in Ann Arbor and that was absolutely horrible.  I'll never do a show in Ann Arbor again.  I didn't even make my booth fee.  >:o(

I'll be doing another local show next month (no shows for me in August, either,) then going to Cottonwood in TX in Oct.  And FL later that month.  Doing a lot more gallery consignment.  That's been going well for me, the few consignment accounts that I have.  Picked up a couple more recently.

Good to hear from you!  Thanks for messaging! 

Cheers,

Michael

hi Anne yes planning on going to Toronto SNAG, am in canada..am on the  west coast few hours drive north of seattle..sadly toronto is just across the border from Detroit so bit of a journey

Anne, thanks very much!!! Yes, I am a member of SNAG.

How are u doing. I always love these pieces you created with enamel, amazing color match!!!

Master Resiedency??? making me nervious. I would like to try to apply but I could not think i am a Master metals person, lol, there is a long way to go. I need keep studying from your guys!!!

Thanks for telling me the news. Have a nice day

All my best

Keep me posted. I work a regular day job,so it is difficult to get away during the day,but you could come the jewelry shop where I work or meet after work possibly. Good luck in KC.

Let me know when will be in St Louis and yes I know Peg. We could all meet at Craft Alliance,I think the metals exhibit curated by Paulette Myer from SIUE will still be up. Depending on  when you are in we will give you a studio tour at Craft Alliance (both locations). Peg teaches classes there.

No,I don't seem to to make it to SNAG. I should try harder,maybe next year and your welcome.

Thank you. Your work is terrific, I have admired it for sometime. I love the way you use enamel ,the textures, the construction, all wonderful.
