Favorite Movie or Play

Right now my favorite movie is Over Her Dead Body which is very funny! It's about a Psychic and her new boyfriend who has a jealous ex (and dead) fiance.

Favorite Artist

I like to see what new artist's are working on. I've always admired Salvadore Dali's work. I'm also drawn to still life paintings and how the artist makes light reflect off of a grouping of objects.

This year Sedona is for hiking and making lots of chains, meditative work for me. I ought to get some photos up--one of these days!

At 9:11am on September 28, 2008, Kathleen Power Johnson said…: Sedona is my "Zen week" to regroup. It's also a rock hound's heaven. For you metal artists like me, Reactive Metals is right down the street so if you have any orders for bimetals or the like I'll be happy to score you some. Ditto for the stones I mention. Gobs of turquoise, of course. Sorry, not much in the way of beads that you can't get here. I'll be thinking of you!
