CLICK ON THE IMAGE TO SEE ALL THE PHOTOS RELATING TO THIS DESIGN

I couldn’t contain myself any longer. I had to show you all my most recent panda jewelry set I have been working on for at least a month!! If you click on the image it will bring you to the rest of the images and the inspiration photo as well.

The crowning glory on this fused glass design is the clear glass the pandas are on is backed in a mirrored finish. What a statement with the light hits it. The mirroring is not glary but subtle and rich

I will be posting this knockout set tomorrow with more to come very soon!!!

Also if you feel the urge you can check out the pix from out day at the Portland Rose Festival yesterday. What a blast!!!!

Money with her puppies at 19 days

Well we are just about busting at the seams with this news about a litter born in Thailand, pictured now at 19 days old, sired by our home bred boy Vincent (BISS CH. Chinarose the Impressionist). Vinnie has been gone for some years now but is FAR from forgotten. We froze semen on him years ago and recently chose to let our wonderful friend Ekarat Sangkunakup in Thailand breed one of his incredible girls to Vincent. The breeding was done as a surgical insemination which can be very touchy to say the least.

Lo and behold we have 4 lovable little “pupsicle” girls, all rough coat reds and just as consistant as they can be. I spoke on the phone with Ek two nights ago and puppies are doing fantastic. He says they are very hot from the Thai humidity and heat and the rain won’t stop so he’s very anxious to see them get a bit older and on solid food soon.

Diana and I own Vincent so we are the proudest grandparents you can imagine. Thank you Ek for bringing this gorgeous girl (”Money) to Vincent. It takes two to make magic and we are so excited to see more photos as they develop.!!

The beautiful mother to this litter is “Money” Am.Ch.Uniteds Gold Bullion OFA Prelim Good

Money reminds us so much of our dear departed Magenta that it is simply eerie!! After the breeding took place we realized that Ek had judged Magenta and finished her championship and Steve judged Money and finished hers!!!! It was just meant to be this way!!

On another note…a gorgeous day brought the camera out to the Beaverton Farmers Market..Click the image below to see the album full of fun images I took today!

Hi all..we are in San Francisco for the weekend what a ball we are having… OMG I’m in heaven. We are in the heart of Chinatown on the 23rd floor of our hotel.. and as we sat here admiring the view we heard loud clanging and drumming. From around a corner comes a white liondancer with his entourage of percussionists!!!
As he crossed the busy street and stopped traffic , he also stopped to “lift his leg” on a street light. I am SO glad I had my camera in hand to get some great images to show you all later
Gotta run to dinner but will update tomorrow
Big hugs from a very HOT San Francisco
