Hi All! Happy Spring!
I will forever remember 2024 as the "Year of hobby matriarchs". If you might have only one chance to meet - I dunno - Ghandi, what would you do to make it happen? What hoops would you jump through, what law of physics would you bend, to make it a reality? This is how I feel about meeting our amazing leaders, teachers, and inspirers in the model horse hobby! Their mentorship is truly golden! I was fortunate this spring to meet the talented sculptor, Sue Sifton, who is known for her sculptures for Breyer, and who is a treasure trove of knowledge and inspiration on sculpting and mold making! It was an amazing day with the Goddess of Clinky Creation, Joanie Berkowitz, Sue, and my friend, Barrie Getz, who is a walking library of hobby history! We had a fantastic day visiting in San Diego and went out to eat at one of Joanie's favorite (and now mine, too!)-a Japanese food joint that serves the cutest sweet buns! Great food, gorgeous clinches (I got to see them before Joanie packed them for her move to Utah- I hope she got the last bit of drool off the cabinet-sorry Joanie!), amazing amazing company! Thank you Barrie for introducing us! |
