Hello from Austin

I arrived in Austin for Tom Herman's workshop on carving precious metals. It starts tomorrow and I am so excited! Tom is a master jeweler and his work is simply amazing.

Austin has been getting more than its share of rain and storms lately, so I am taking a day in with my sketch book and some tea. My lovely hostess from AirBnB also has a lovely cat and friendly dog, so I am in excellent company.

I was able to take a nice long walk yesterday, when I arrived. After 10 hours in a plane plus too many hours to get to the airport and waiting around, my legs needed it!
