Extra Extra!
I have been incredibly busy, working more on the house and studio with my new roomie. The basement studio is really coming along, and I am really excited about having a much more efficient work space to share down there. Some of the home improvement efforts have even inspired me with ideas for new work. I am going to let those ideas germinate for a bit and I hope to tell you about them this week! Until then, I will continue with production for a couple of large wholesale orders, and I will leave you with this week's Extra Extra links!
Oh! And I listed a bunch of Openwork Escutcheon pendants in the Etsy shop! I have some new ones to show you soon, in the Toolbox Treasure designs! Stop back and check them out later this week.
