What a Spring!

I has been quite an eventful Spring for me. We have had some record rain and storms in our area and then my car gets hit by lightning! My daughter Marina was in it at the time but thankfully she was okay. It just fried my battery. I took a fabulous metalsmithing class in TN at Arrowmont School for Craft. One whole week of 16 hour days with big hammers, big torches and acid...it was unspeakably fabulous! Make great friends from all over the US and learned some new techniques. As a matter of fact, one of the pieces I made at Arrowmont just got juried into a gallery show at Tamarack in Beckley, WV. I now have my stuff on Etsy.com under vittoriabanks so that I can sell on the web. New website under construction so we can sell stuff from the gallery as well. I can also now be found on MySpace and Facebook so look me up and chat! I am going to try to post some pics of some of my latest works for those who are interested in what I do. Cross your fingers it will work!! Besides trying to stay cool and am staring down the barrel of a birthday soon. July 15th will be the big 45! I am just now finding out what I want to be when I grow up and now just when I am ready to kick some butt I need a nap!
