Steve, that is a cool site. I learned sumpin new there. I love lighting tricks.

We did indeed build a similar structure. I found that drafting vellum works well also and holds up better than the tissue paper.

The jewelry is selling well in Cincinnati where I am currently doing a show.

At long last, Cincinnati has something to be proud of. :D

What? The pigs weren't enough? you greedy bastards.

*if knew how would link a pic to the many, many painted pigs set around Cincy*

My very good friend is from Cinci and he rolls out the red carpet when I visit. Skyline chili, Krogers, Edy's ice cream and all the tourist spots. He is very proud of his city. He even took me to see "Pete Rose Way" which he pointed out was sadly re-named "The Cooperstown Bypass"

Oh, that's cold. Poor pete.:(

Actually, my pal also goes on to say that at cooperstown there should be a plaque that simply states:

Pete Rose-- Switch hitter, All-time major-league leader in hits (4,256), games played (3,562), and at bats (14,053). Winner of three World Series rings, three batting titles, one MVP, two gold gloves, Rookie of the year, and 17 All-star appearances at five different positions: 2B, LF, RF, 3B, and 1B. Banned from baseball for life.

I like the idea of his gambling being aside from his record as a ball player. I mean at least he wasn't betting against his team.

Next time try to get your hands on some Graeter's Ice Cream. Can't beat it!

Yeah, old Pete should be in the Hall of Fame. For some reason, other athletes are forgiven all sorts of horrors, but they can't drop the thing against Pete.

Graeter's! that's what I meant. Edy's is some supermarket crap. My bad.
(don't tell nick)

That's because he wouldn't kiss their collective asses......and he shouldn't. :mad:

Christmas has come and gone once again. And I am spoken of in tones reserved for deities.... thanks to Katkeeper's talent and creative ingenuity with her art/craft.
To say they all loved Katkeeper's enameled jewelry is a gross understatement.
Thank you Ma'am, I speak of you in tones reserved for deities. :notworthy

Oh yeah...Valentine's Day isn't that far off, is it? Hmmm.

Thanks so much for the adulation! I am always happy when I know people appreciate my enamels. Now if only someone else would read it and be inspired to purchase...

Heads up
 

We've been having a wonderful Indian Summer, this fall, and because of that, I just realized it's damn near Halloween.
That means a few weeks until turkey day and a few more until Christmas. It'll be here in a New York minute, and you'll be all, Oh-crap-I'm-not-ready-what-will-I-do-I'm in deep-doodoo-now.

Well bunkie, get your order in now... operators are standing by to save your butt from the embarrassment of, last-minute-crappy-gift-syndrome.

But the store is currently down for maintenance.

Whip the maintenance man.
