I thought it might be nice to show some of my new friends and students from the classes

I have been teaching at Pouncing Rain-Jewelry Metals Center.

As you can see we are having a lot of fun.  

The students here are so motivated to learn jewelry making techniques it makes each class a real joy to teach. 

 The staff at Pouncing Rain are really wonderful to work with too!

They are all makers who really understand the motivation to make jewelry.

I am so excited to be going to the Tucson Gem Show in February '09 with Kathleen Yorston, Pouncing Rain's owner.

Hang in there everyone, have a good holiday season, and I hope to see you all in the new year.
