the other day i was on ebay looking to see if there were hippie threads to be found and i came across the auction for a custom made skirt, and almost bid on it, but Ebay kept telling me the item was restricted or something (i think it has something to do with my security settings on my PC being screwed up, it seemed to be working the next day). I went back and looked at the auction after i read that you had one going- and it was the same one, haha. small world. :)

i will message you to your tribe mailbox with my contact info - i owuld love to talk about having a piece or two made... but since this is a public forum i'd rather bring the discussion elsewhere.

peter's valley is really pretty amazing. i had the good fortune of landing a summer job there several years back and getting to work in an environment of artists all summer. i recently moved back to the same area and tried to set something up to work there this summer, but it didnt work out... so i decided to be a studetn instead :) I havent decided which workshop i am taking, but since i was good buddies with the registrar when i worked there, i managed to snag a work-exchange so I don't have to spend all the money to take the class. WOO-HOO. I am looking at sculpture classes right now, and am pretty stoked. i have wanted to take a class there ever since i worked there 6 years ago, and it is just FINALLY happening now. yay. if you ever get the opportunity to get away and take a class, i highly recommend PV,... it is so beautiful and peaceful and they really do get high-quality instructors. It can be a bit pricey if you have to buy room and board too, but there is a youth hostel locally and the houses each have a kitchen so you can make your own food if you prefer. I am doing it serious budget-style... i may even commute from my house which is 45 minutes away to save the cost of staying there, but even so, I am very excited for this to come to fruition.

anyway... look in your tribe inbox. :)
