Blue
Bluff was a great success. The copper does really well and
people are quite drawn to it.
We can't show too much or it gets confusing.
The table covers are saggy in the middle. Looks as if
I need to shorten the hem on them.

Here
is a collection of the Elements bracelets. They are flame
painted and patina in several different ways.
They are a lot of work, and I am having some problems
pricing them.
I would hate to try making them without a good raft of
tools.

Don is flame painting a copper bracelet here. The
colors are wonderful, but sometimes they don't stay when we
spray them to seal the piece.
We will have done 125 bracelets in 2 weeks.

Talk
about a shift in gears. We are making copper flame
painted and patina bracelets for the Blue Bluff Festival.
We need a line of nice jewelry that you can sell at street
shows.
The rolling mill is used to texture the work. All of the
other tools are those we have collected over the years just
for this sort of task.
