Hola!....Again

Our Gallery in Taos


We are right off the Plaza!


I can't believe it's been over a year since I have posted...WOW!!
Well as you can see from the pictures above, we have been quite busy. We were able to lease a gallery in Taos, NM for the past year and that has kept us quite busy. Rob has networked tremendously in Taos and throughout New Mexico. That has paid off quite well. Besides our own gallery, our artwork can now be found in the Coyote Moon Gallery in Taos, La Hacienda de los Martinez in Taos, and the Santuario gift shop in Chimayo, NM.
Arte de Taos

We closed the shop on Etsy. Although I love Etsy, it just wasn't the right platform for the type of artwork we do. I have spent the last couple of months working on our own website, check it out and let me know what you think. This was a tedious task for me as I have no knowledge of website building experience at all, I mean nada!! I dropped the F bomb so many times I wanted to wash my own mouth out with soap!

I have truly missed being a part of the blog world and hope to spend some time catching up on all that I missed this past year. My goal is to post at least three times a week, wish me luck!

I did it!!!

Hola!
We are back from a crazy whirlwind of art shows, mini vacations, classes, and creating new pieces. I feel like it was just March a week ago!
Our visit and show in Taos was wonderful and a much needed vacation from our day jobs! We traveled to Chimayo one day and took the the high road back to Taos, stopping along the way to take pictures and visit with other artists. The art show was great as usual and to top it all off, our art work is now available at the Carlos Sandoval Studio & Gallery in Taos!!! As soon as we returned to Denver, we participated in another local art show and since then we have both been busy little bees creating new pieces.
I have finished my second silversmithing class and loved every minute of it. Here is a picture of my latest creation- a lapis ring, shank was roll milled for a sweet flowery design, bezel is also created to be organic looking, and I finished it off with an antique finish, what do you think?!
My little studio here at home should be ready by the end of June, thanks of course to my amazing husband! I love that this new venture is opening up a whole new world for me and look forward to the fall when I will take an additional class.

Rob has also been quite busy, going to Taos a couple of times since the beginning of May to take and make sure the art work is just right. He is also getting ready to do a big show in August here in Denver at the CHAC gallery, I will post about that tomorrow, believe me it is great!!
