Bee Bracelet #2 and the Cat Spoon.

I'm starting to show a little of what I do

 in the VOICE of the River Valley.

The Bee Bracelets were in the April Issue.

In the May issue,

the Cat Spoon #1 was shown:

The cat is copper.

It is 4 1/8" long,

1 7/8" wide at the bowl,

and just short of an inch deep.

It measures 1 tablespoon of water.

Most all my chasing is one-of-a-kind.

My work does not translate well as molded castings, 

unless I specifically aim for that result.

I'm also making unique wall mounted holders for these things,

so they can show off, 

and not be lost in a kitchen equipment drawer.

Chasing, Repousse of Bees and a Fish

Bee Bracelet #1

was completed the day I had to send it out to the buyer

so there really isn't a good photo of it.

Bee Bracelet #2 is done.

Both are of Aluminum, 

sealed with a unique lacquer brought to my attention by  Golden Paints. 

The earlier fish bracelet, also aluminum,

 has been worn nearly daily 

by a coffee shop owner for the past nearly 5 years.  

There is no trace, or sign of sealer failure, 

or any kind of discoloring, or marking on skin. 

It's pretty remarkable stuff.

(My time is spent on more than C&R,
so I tend to update the 
"artings", "woodprints", "chasedthings", "paintings" 
blogs in waves,
depending upon what I'm into lately)
