Fresh Faces

I decided it was time to bring in some new faces to add to the prop department. If only they had some soldering skills...

Such eager faces, I'd better get working! 

New Additions to the Family...

I've been having some challenges in the studio recently and today brought the melt down of an 18kt gold bezel I was working on. Good time to take a break, and what's the best thing to do when you need a little cheering up? No, not that half gallon of chocolate chip in the freezer, but a trip across the river to the farm store to pick out a new critter or two... or maybe seven. Always makes me feel better!

 The newbies, soon to be included in the stable of photo props already working hard to sell

                        my jewelry on etsy.

I have no idea what kind of dog this is supposed to represent, but he looked eager and check out that crazy face!

whew, intense...

And everyone knows that lizards are pretty good at selling stuff...

not too cuddly, but speaks with an Aussie accent. 

Here's cute...

Now all that remains is to design the perfect piece of jewelry to go with each one...

They should be popping up in the shop before too long!
