So, we're getting ready for our first out-of-Austin adventure by going to Wyoming at the end of the month for this years national rainbow gathering. We hope to create our own kitchen and camp area full of creativity and art. Our Artopium Art Camp combined with the so-famous "Millaways" rainbow kitchen, so to speak, run by the now very famous Freeman from FreemanTV.com.

We are currently encouraging the support of our members and fellow "patrons of the arts" in the form of sponosrships or simple donations. Any contribution you can make will greatly help.

I am also making jewelry again, in an effort to raise money, and also to just get into the spirit. At rainbow, money is deeply discouraged, so I thought I might start making it again to trade with while I'm there, and to try to raise money for food, fuel and supplies. I make fine beaded and hemp necklaces, bracelets and anklets, using fine crystals, jade, hematite, bone, glass and more. I made and Artopium page where you can see my entire collection which you can visit here:
