where your dollars go...

I mentioned I donate a portion of the sale of my art and jewelry to animals.
Here's a list of some of the places:

PETA
Catskill Animal Santuary
The Humane Society of the U.S.
Lazy Maple Equine
Farm Sanctuary
Anti Cruelty Society
Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary

The animals and I say Thank You!

More fests/fairs/events/etc. soon to be announced......

Here's some more photos of my latest creations....I named all my jewelry after hot men. This torquise and ice one is called the Johnny Depp. The flowery one is called Summer of Love, since I've been accused of being a hippie. :)And the silvery necklace is called the Clive Owen.

perdy new stuff made by MOI! Available at Glenwood Arts Festival.....checkitoutmon!

Adopt a Cat Month

If every person were to adopt (at least) one animal, it might help solve the over-population (of course, always spay/neuter).

June is Adopt a Cat Month and this photo was taken of me (bad photo, but who the hell cares) and Rocky a favorite of mine at the shelter. He had slightly crossed eyes after surviving U.R.I. (Upper Respiratory Infection--a killer illness many shelter cats get). I visited him every week and gave him so much love and attention. After many months, he finally got adopted by a nice older gent who lives alone. I miss Rocky but hope he's happy and spoiled rotten!

Located in Rogers Park, Glenwood Arts Fest is a free, weekend-long event that features local artisans, open studios and live entertainment on three outdoor stages.
