Over the weekend my mom Joanna, a fantastic fused glass artist, Teri an artist friend of my moms who is a painter, and Davina jewelery maker /bellydancer-extraordinaire all took part of the Silicon Valley Open Studios. My mom was the host artist so the weekend show was at her home so I went over on Saturday to hang out for the day.
Here are some pictures from the day:

Teri's paintings were set up in a corner of the garden
An interesting thing happened in the afternoon, there were two older women who arrived to take a look at the artists, and while disusing semi-precious gemstones with Davina she told us how she recently went to the Jade Markets in Beijing and that she learned how to tell real jade from fake jade. As we kept chatting she told us that her son flew her to Beijing so she could attend the opening of his movie...the movie that he directed. The movie was The Forbidden Kingdom so her son must be Rob Minkoff (yes, I had check imdb.com for the info). Davina who had seen the film was able to compare notes about the film itself with her while I just sat there and smiled...
Isn't it interesting who you can meet so randomly..... it's a small world really...
