Girls Play Games

I'm thrilled about my new pieces for the Girls Play Games Exhibit at Facere. I transformed a jump rope into a belt, jacks into a brooch, and cup and ball toy into a ring. They all feature my rubber process/materials and sterling silver.

Shoes Made for Walking

I got my new shoes in the mail! Yeah! I spent mucho time researching which shoes to buy. I wanted a pair that I couldn't wait to put on every morning to go exploring, hiking, walking in Firenze. I planned to buy athletic shoes, but i tried on some sandals by Keen and was amazed by the way the made me feel. Ubercomfy!

Room with a View

After a small snafu with our first Firenze apartment, we visited Vacation Rentals By Owner and found this beautiful room with a view.

It is few minutes walk from Santa Croce Cathedral and is situated in a very Florentine aristocratic part of town; that is to say, where "real Florentines" (a rarity in fact! ) still live...

Farewell

Judy VanValer passed away this year after battling cancer. Judy was compassionate, generous, and understanding. She wasn't my first or my last art instructor, but definitely my favorite. She appreciated my quirks and understood how to challenge my talent.

You will be missed and remembered fondly.

Love,
Jennifer
