Feb 2013 Selection of new pieces, some examples of recent custom pieces

 Since we cancelled our appearance at the Jan. Alameda show there is much much more to be shown at the Feb. Alameda show this Sunday. The selection shown here in this post is of but a few new pieces. Jan. post is below this one. Also, I will be posting in the next couple months photos of raw material purchases. Many people have asked for this, I will show before and after photos. Finally, this month marks the launch of my ETSY store, an online resource for artisans to sell their work direct to the retail public.
