Hi Dauvit, Thanks for your kind message! I look forward to seeing you at Open Studios, if you are able to come across. I always enjoy taking a trip to Glasgow as Glaswegians are very friendly people. The Kelvingrove Gallery is also fantastic. Anyway, have a nice day. Best wishes, Sandra.

Thank you for your kind words. I am not famialiar with the book or music you referred to- but thank you- I will look them up. The title of the piece, 'Listen the Wind' is the title of the book it is in- it was written by Anne Morrow Lindbergh.

Thanks for stopping by to see my work. It reminded me to view your site and again appreciate the skill and the historical references you bring to create new pieces.

Yes ! It was first time traveling to Venice this time and it was really really the place I wanted to LIVE ! Glass works are amazing, too. I could watch them all day. haha ! Oh what a place !!

I traveled around Roma, Florence, and venice. I needed more time, but I still enjoyed a lot ! Next time, I hope to see some metal works there, too ! Maybe I would love to look for some opportunities for shows in Europe ! Yes, Europe !

I was actually in Italy for a week and just came back today. So I was little closer to you ! Thanks to this Crafthaus, I could still connect with so many great artists even after I graduated from school and left the states. So exciting to get to know more and more metalsmith all over the world !! Hope I could meet you in person someday !

Thank you so much for your posting about the Wallace Collection and Kevin Coates.  I can't believe I lived in London for a decade (I left in '96) and never knew the Wallace Collection existed. I love your architectural pieces.  If I ever make it back to Glasgow I'll have to stop in and say Hey!

Ah ! Yes ! Now we are Crafthaus friends, too ! ALSO, I am so happy to see you and Sue are friends because I WAS HER STUDENT !!

It was a great pleasure having Dingo and you in Pittsburgh, I hope you have enjoyed your stay as much as we loved having you! Hope to see you back in the 'burgh again next year!

OK Dauvit, thank you.

And thanks for the advice. I will give it a try your way.

So I know you probably don't need anything else to keep you busy, but I saw this and thought it would be right up your alley:
