With great sadness, we have to report the passing of Dante Fraboni on August 7, 2021. He was a kind, gentle person and a wonderful artist. We are going to miss him terribly.
Otherworldly Creations — Sharon Evans, Dante Fraboni and I — were very happy with the results of Spacefest XI, rescheduled to July 15 to July 18, 2021, at the JW Marriott Starr Pass. We ended up with three tables, because I had way too many boxes. Details at spacefest.info.

For our second time out, we had two tables at Spacefest X, held August 9-11, 2019, at the JW Marriott Starr Pass in Tucson, Arizona. Sharon of Studio S’Evans brought her ZenGlass and Dante, a local metal artist, had some whimsical space pieces.
Besides bringing dichroic jewelry, I had some space art pieces.
