Thank you to Ysabel Duron Founder and Executive Director of Latinas Contra Cancer . I am very honored to share my artwork with her organization and the work it does in the community in it's fight against cancer. I hope you can come out and join us for the Mother's Day Walk, celebrating 5 years of survivorship, Sunday May 11th, 2008. For more information please visit Latinas Contra Cancer .org. This tree painting symbolizes the strength, length and depth of the mission of Latinas Contra Cancer. 5 years is a milestone year for cancer survivors. The walk and agency turns 5 this year as well. "Like a tree we stand together - tall, strong and long lasting".

I've been toying with trying Polymer clay for a while and last night I did it. I pulled, stretched and rolled it around in my hands, baked it. (burned a few) :( But I am now over my fear of it... this always happens to me when I start a new medium. It's not paint, but I can paint on it, so that's pretty cool. I made a few pendants... with my tree/roots fascination that took over since last March... oh my didn't realize it has been a whole year. They are all listed in my Etsy store for very low dinero.
