Japanese artist Julia Sai Carlson assists Robin Putnam on a wall mural in Telluride, Colorado<\/p><\/div>\n

For 6 months in 2005, Julia Sai Carlson apprenticed with me in learning Ravenstail weaving and button-robe making.\u00a0 She initially contacted me via email from across the ocean in Japan.\u00a0 Of course, I receive all kinds of emails from people who want to learn Chilkat weaving or button robe making, but very few actually follow through and so my initial response from Julia was “yeah, sure…”<\/p>\n

Since the end of our apprenticeship, she has been attending the California School of Arts and Crafts, going for her BFA degree, where she recently met her present boyfriend, Robin Putnam.\u00a0 Robin has been working on a painted wall mural for the town of Telluride, a small town in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado.\u00a0 Last weekend they had the unveiling of the mural.\u00a0 You may read the article at:\u00a0 http:\/\/www.telluridenews.com\/articles\/2010\/08\/27\/news\/doc4c770ee308c6b873224608.txt<\/p>\n

Robin and Julia<\/p><\/div>\n

I am proud of Julia; she is living her dream of becoming a full-time artist.\u00a0 What I want for her, I want for my own children, I want for anyone including myself:\u00a0 to live their life to the fullest in living their dream(s).\u00a0 I treat Julia like one of my own kids – just can’t help that when a youngster comes to live for 6 months and just about does everything I do and travels everywhere I go.\u00a0 In those six months that she was with me, she helped keep the house clean, the garden weeded, and helped keep my ex in line.\u00a0 She traveled with our family to visit my parents in Alaska; she traveled with family to spend a week with my in-laws vacationing in Hawaii; she traveled with me when we took a side trip to visit the Navajo weavers at Toadlena Trading Post near Shiprock, New Mexico.\u00a0 She was my side-kick for 6 months!\u00a0 The last time I had that was with my youngest child, Ursala – until she went to public school in the 3rd\/4th grade.<\/p>\n
