I came back with my adult daughter for a fused art class, and Evelina welcomed everyone with wine and appetizers and an explanation of how to make art. There were bins of colored glass in many shapes and sizes to play with. She spent extra time with my daughter who was having trouble letting her creative side out. They made a glass dish together that everyone compliments. Then Jessie began to play with shapes and colors to make a few other pieces. Her confidence came out! I get compliments on the art pendants I created, too. I'll be bringing more friends with me next time!

It is a very unique black boy doll and clearly of historical value. Somehow, it got damaged. When I learned that the family decided the doll should go to the local library, I panicked. Igor immediately figured out how it had been damaged (loose parakeets!) and was able to seamlessly fix the damage. Like nothing ever happened. He was also able to identify newer clothes on the doll by fabric weight. A true archaeologist. Worth every penny. I would trust the crown jewels to Igor.

Then he asked me if they were precious to me. When I said, "Yes," he told me to go ahead and fix them. He also told me it was going to take a while, more than a month or six weeks. I left the candlesticks with him. In the process, we had a wonderful conversation about our own origins and the commonalities. A couple of months went by and I got the call from Mrs. Dirilen that the candlesticks were ready. I was floored by how they looked. Perfect and shining and lacquered. I was thrilled!
