Yesterday I walked out to get the mail and was pleasantly surprised. It was a postcard from Rio Grande promoting PMC Sterling featuring my ring was in my mailbox!! Sooo cool! It’s always so exciting to see my work in print and on the web! Of course I knew that they were going to be using the ring but how, when and where was up to them! The same thing happened when I won the Saul Bell Award in 2007. The image of my bracelet kept popping up everywhere, it was so much fun! 2007 Patrick_Final
