Henrietta, you sure made my morning! I loved reading of your vacation 
adventure. You are so right, a vacation is something we have inside of us no 
matter where we are or what circumstances we are in at the time. It is a 
quiet place, of solitude, that does not depend on anything outside of us. 
This is beautiful when we have those moments to realize it, isn't it! I 
guess you just gave me a new topic for my blog...I will think about it some 
more and write a new blog today or tomorrow.

I brought all my beading stuff in from the studio. My studio does not have 
AC so it was 105 in there yesterday and the dew point was so high you could 
barely breathe. OK, change of plans!

I will be leaving on my ART CAMP experience in 8 more days so I am working 
of figuring out just what to take along to work on there.

I have a encrusted beadwork picture I am working on currently. It is 
probably over 1/2 done. I will try to finish it up this week before I go, so 
I can work on something new while I am there.  I am cutting out the 
templates for some new Talisman Necklaces - and that is what I hope to work 
on there. I want to do one with Green Opals, Tree Agate, and  Lapis Lazuli 
gem stone; Japanese Seed Beads in brilliant   colors of Rainbow  Transparent 
Emerald Green;  Rainbow Transparent Purple;  Swarovski Palace Green Opal 
Bicones and Rounds.  I will do the necklace part using chiips and seed beads 
in a vertical spiral, and then work a talisman medallion out of the 
gemstones and other materials. LUSCIOUS, in my mind!

Then for another one, I bought Honey Wax Opal Chips, and plan to do a 
vertical spiral necklace and a talisman medallion with them, and put in some 
cultured pearls (vintage) along with Fresh water pearls, and Japanese seed 
beads. Oh La LA!

I guess those two porjects are more than enough to occupy me during Art 
Camp! I do have another large piece that is nearly finished - it is a major 
piece of art - I call it _The Dragon's Treasure_ and it is unwearable ART 
but is really a sculpture that will be displayed in a plexiglas box. I did 
not PLAN for it to be unwearable, but since I was very new at doing this 
kind of work I did not know it would not be wearable till it was way too 
late to make any changes. So, it is now a sculpture, once I finish it. It 
will be a great piece to put in an art exhibition though.

Fixing your capri pants sounded so nice. Doesn't it feel good to re purpose 
things so we can enjoy them! I love it.  My problem is that my weight goes 
up and down so often. I no sooner get rid of my "small" clothes, than I 
workout and eat right, and would have been able to use them again.  I just 
bought a lot of new clothes before I left for Puerto Rico because nothing 
fit me so I had to buy bigger things. NOW, I am working out every day, 
eating nutritious foods and no junk foods or sugar, and my body is slimming 
down again...and guess what, my new bigger clothes are now getting big on 
me! Sheesh!

Keep on enjoying your vacation - it is a mind set.  Lynda
