Lin Evans Posted March 5, 2019 Report Posted March 5, 2019 My late sweet wife Sherry loved art and jewelry. She was a breed - Cherokee and German by ancestry. Her paternal grandmother was half Cherokee and half German. When we were students taking our first classes at Palomar College in San Marcos, California we took a number of Native American classes taught by our six indigenous professors. In one class our term project was to choose a traditional Indian craft or art and actually make something using the information we learned in class. Well Sherry opted out of baskets, pottery, weaving and other arts and loudly proclaimed: "JEWELRY." LOL... We both eventually became proficient at silversmithing and goldsmithing and Sherry had a life-long love affair with Indian art and jewelry as well as other art. This little show is dedicated to some of her collection. We spent literally every vacation day in our 35 years together traveling in the southwestern USA reservations, shows and trading posts collecting what we could afford. Sitting at my computer, listening to the late and great Kate Wolf sing and making a show with Sherry's collection revives loving memories.... Lin Quote

Lin Evans Posted March 6, 2019 Author Report Posted March 6, 2019 Thanks Pascal and Wideangle, and thank you Pascal for your threshold mask transition which was nice for separating the presentation of full 16:9 photos on black from those on a shadowed background. It worked perfectly. Best regards, Lin Quote
