I know it's old-fashioned but you are more than welcome to share this email.
Life has been busy. I know it's been a while since my last newsletter. My trusty computer completely crashed last Fall and while I was able to retrieve a lot of the files and put them on a new hard drive, it was like the entire contents of the house were dumped in the yard.
It's been a long journey rebuilding everything, sorting and renaming thousands of files. I had to rebuild the color palette that I had created over decades. but it was a "learning experience" as my mom would say. So now I'm back making paper toys again.
I'm very pleased to be in my first international art show this May in Shanghai. I'm working with a group of young people who are running the booth for me there. They are such a delight. Hopefully next time I can go myself. Wouldn't that be an adventure?
Also in the news... the Retired Husband is building furniture, got his commercial pilot's license, is studying Classical guitar and herding cats. We celebrated our 35th anniversary last July and I'm hoping for 35 more.
Where ever you are in the world I hope that you are well and safe.
