Shown with the “KIT” that the Vine Bails are made from. (Yes - the piece of wire).

Yes ... they are just small Jewelry Items. Not the Mona Lisa. Of course ... that’s just canvas, oil, and pigment. It’s the soul of the artist that made those common items interesting. Hopefully, you can find points of interest in my simpler works too. Many aren’t really that simple when you consider them. Carving a negative image into hardened Tool Steel isn’t child’s play. Especially when you want the Struck positive image to portray something with life, or appeal.

The Mona Lisa is overrated IMO.

Cool stuff. I like the bails.

Hi Gary, you need to call some shops on Cape Cod Massachusetts and see if they would be interested in carrying the line. Too bad you couldn't get a Jewelry rep to make the rounds for you. Could be a winner. Those are really nice and the Beach lovers would love them.

Thank you Steve.

You are right. I need representation.

I’m very glad you like the product.

We have some plans. No guarantees. We’re in that “local craftsmen” class. We need more response then the national market people. Or we need a better national market. If you have 100,000 people a week see your stuff ... then you can deal with half of one percent response.

Thanks for commenting

That’s very neat looking work . I especially like the twisted wire work . I thought the copper pieces were cookies at first glance. They were all spread out on a paper plate ready for coffee.

Thanks
Kurt

Hi Kurt ...

Hah! Fooled the Foreman ... those are leather Bud. Kelly wanted two for the Twins, and a lady saw them at a Festival Day. She wanted some. Now we have to complete the circle.
