Good & Sturdy Art World Famous Crochet Museum Music Gallery News & Stuff Email, Comments, Flattery

 

 

 

These are the galleries of August, September and November 2010

I would like to thank Ted Quinn for bringing these lovely people to my studio at Art Queen over the weekend (they were asking him if he knew where the World Famous Crochet Museum was). Laura and Colin are from the UK and in Joshua tree to get married on 10/10/10 and I am happy they purchased "we are all connected" and "life is a happy little dance" to celebrate their lovely occasion in Joshua Tree. Stacey and her family bought a piece ("free fall") made by Jimmy Buster, Ryan and me last year. It is fun to note that I was making a "money magnet" art piece while they walked into my studio, I would say that "money magnet" piece on my website is very powerful.

 

here i am at a recent gig in los angeles on my new instrument, the triangle
