That up there is a jeweler's saw. So when I talk about it in the context of his cutwork, that's the contraption he's using. If you've never seen one, it's very counterintuitive-looking. It also makes his freehand work all the more impressive.
He's working on yet one more thing that's been in the pipeline literally for months. To his left, wrapped in the rouge cloth, is the third of a trip of commissioned works that is almost complete, at long last; they just need cords and tips and final buffing and so forth. That little rectangle of silver just to his left and above his hand is part of another multi-piece commission. It doesn't look like much there, but it's actually the superstructure of that particular piece; you just can't see the detailing from here.
There is so much new work, and there will soon be a lot more that's newer still. Trouble is, after this god-awful year, we need to make a sale a day now, on average, and we're nowhere near that.
The last two years have all but killed us financially, and I need to get us caught up to make it through the end of the year. Among that new work is the pair of earrings I posted here the other day, which you can find here; the necklace I posted here yesterday has a whole new bail, and I'm planning to get it up on the site yet tonight. But whatever else, we [which means I] have got to change this trajectory, and fast. To that end, links are here:
