“Where have you been?” asked DeGrazia when he met New York sculptor Marion Sheret as she visited the first DeGrazia studio at Prince Road and Campbell Avenue. They married in the jungles of Mexico in 1947, lived at the studio, then bought the 10-acre foothills site near Tucson that became DeGrazia Gallery in the Sun. Marion was instrumental in DeGrazia’s success, according to longtime DeGrazia friend Dick Frontain. “I don’t think he would have done it without her. In fact, I’m sure he wouldn’t. She was the drive he needed.” Happy Throwback Thursday!

It may sound weird but the lone piece of construction visible has a very nice orange to it. I really like Fuji Provia, but I need to test it more.
I really can't believe I had that one roll in there since 2009...
Group portrait of my dolls from January, earlier this year. Monday and Tuesday were wig-less, Sunday sporting spooky homemade Violet eyes, and Saturday with a short bob with fringe which has since been died ginger and is the loaner Enid currently wears.
James and Marilyn Johnson write in the book, “DeGrazia: The Man and the Myths”, “He once made a ceramic bowl for a children’s home near an Indian reservation. A woman working for the home thanked him and told him it would bring in hundreds of dollars. DeGrazia took the bowl back from her and smashed it on the ground, … ” the Johnsons write. “ ‘Now it will bring thousands,’ he said.” "And it did. When Arizona Highways picked up this story, donations for bowl shards came in from around the world, and it brought in $100,000". Happy Throwback Thursday!
