White Glove Treatment

I like sentimental, ornate jewelry charms. That's pretty easy to tell, when you look at the things I make.

You know the old style valentine cards, that have the dainty hand holding the bouquet of flowers?

Or the watch fob that holds onto the watch chain?

This sweet, sentimental hand is like that. I meant it to look like carved ivory. It has a luninous look to it. It's holding a brass locket. All ready for a special photo or piece of artwork inside.

The locket opens. The dainty, feminine hand holding the loop has the locket tightly in a grip.


I want to make another one, this time in black. That looks like carved jet or ebony.

Where have I been? Well, a bit offline.

We had a lightning strike at the house and it knocked out a bit of technology.

The internet, cable and phone.

The cable modem and telephone modem.
The telephones and one of the computers hooked to the cable.
The TIVO unit that was catching my back episodes of BONES for me. Rats!

So if you've emailed me or contacted me and you don't hear from me, we're still fixing things back up.

There wasn't any fire, and the electrical circuits seem fine. But the CLAPPER that turns off one of the TV sets is fried. It's weird the things that were affected.

And in case you're thinking "you should have surge protectors on all that stuff" - WE DID. The strike was so close I guess it was too much. We had UPS backups on a lot of the things, and those should definitely have protected the circuits.

I guess nature is just like that sometimes. So please have patience. I hope to be back completely online soon! In the meantime though, I have very little to distract me from things going on in the studio!

Always a silver, lightning struck lining, I guess.
