It was such a treat having these people at my opening!

This man is sooo wise! He and his wife are amazing Therapists. They gave us Diego's diagnosis and they are helping us a lot with him. He understands so much about people.

On the left you see my Mother-in-Law with her big signature smile and on the right you see my neighbor (check out her gloves). They were the most beautiful ladies of the night. Can you believe that my neighbor is eighty-five years old? She used to be an Assistant for many years and she loves to tell stories about it.

And here the surprise of the night directly from Italy Dante Ferretti. This man is one of the most talented people that I have ever met. I can say that he is a genius, seriously. The MOMA in New York is organizing a retrospective exhibition of his work. He started his career working with Federico Fellini. He also has a great sense of humor.

This is Kasi Lemmons a smart strong woman and a fine Film Director. Some of her works include: Eve's Bayou, Talk to Me and The Caveman's Valentine.

Here you see one of my best friends here in Los Angeles. She is amazing. I have a lot of support from her ragarding Diego. She is even reading books about Autism in order to understand better how she can help us. Her two children are very close to our children and they are adorable. Alisa is an executive/producer for Walter Parkes and Laurie MacDonald at Dreamworks.

What a beautiful family! Can you believe that she just had another baby a few weeks ago? They came over to say hi and it was beautiful. She is from Argentina and they are amazing people.

She was my stepson's Art Teacher when he was little and she is ADORABLE! She is so funny and positive and fun. We had a great time and she brought many of her friends with her to the opening.

Wow! How exciting! I'm glad you had so many visitors! I'm sure you blew them all away with your artwork! It is always so encouraging to have a lot of love!!

What a funny thing that we are both Taurus's! I also noticed that we are both an impressive 5'2"! (At least we can make up for our height with smashing personalities! :))

Also, I was going to mention one of my favorite artists to you, because your paper work is so exquisite! Peter Callesen is a very talented paper sculptor! His work reminds me of yours a bit!!

Hope you are recouping well after your gallery showing! :) Can't wait to see more Etsy treats! Enjoy the day!

Hola Blaze!
I absolutely LOVE the work of Peter Callesen. I haven't seen anybody yet that understands paper the way he does. To me he found the heart of this material. He is my number one source of inspiration when it comes to paper sculptures.
And it is amazing the we are both 5.2
Maybe we were sisters in a previous life!

What beautiful people at your opening. Your neighbour is so vintage just like you said in an earlier post. I love her style. Is that one of your necklaces on your friend Alisa? I love that you are wearing one of your own pins. It all comes together with style.

Margie, I cannot believe that you noticed that my friend Alisa is wearing one of my necklaces. I didn't realize about it until right now ! I started making jewelry because of her and anytime when I try some new material or style I give her a piece so she can keep record of what I have been doing. She is crazy about jewelry and I really enjoy giving her something that I know she is going to enjoy.
Yes as you can see I am wearing one of my pins. The dress was kind of too revealing so I had to do something creative with it and the pin was the perfest solution.
I can't wait to make new pins, I have a list or new ideas...
