Throughout the many years of internet surfing, google searching, art forums, ebay purchases, handmade crafting, shows, ceramic beads and jewelry. The list could go on. I have come to make friends with many of you, many friendships have been long lasting and some go on to be an eventual hello through emails, blog postings or most recently facebook. But this person I want to share with you today is too much fun and special to not comment on.
I met Gerry through the Beads of Clay group a few months ago, in the spring when we opened an etsy store for the team, she joined and donated a few pieces to raise funds for promotion of Beads of Clay. We have emailed continually for months now, always having fun in what we say and what we know and don't know about internet how tos. We talk about our work, life, pets, shows and the going ons of the team.
Today I received this beautiful watercolor card with a sweet message to brighten up my day while I continue to go through losing Sparky. Gerry makes beautiful pendants with the imprint of a Fleur de Lis in what she calls an Oxblood Red Glaze. I have commented on it a couple times... okay maybe a few times or maybe too many times how much I like that glaze. I really do like it! Well today along with her card and her sweet message sending me some "happy" she also included this lovely necklace for me... Awww.... thank you Gerry!
It made me so happy to receive this Gerry, I really wanted to thank you and let you know howmuch I appreciate your friendship. We may not know each other in person, but I really appreciate to have you in my list of friends to get to talk to. This is one of the great things of the internet in out time. Brining people together sharing same interests, forming friendships, sharing skills and knowledge.
You can visit Gerry Lee's store on etsy for a sweet pendant like this. her store is Clay Designs by glee

Thank you Gerry and Carol. As many negative things that have come from technology, the getting to know other artists and making friends is priceless.
