Corsico Rings in progress, originally uploaded by antigenre.
Yep, I’m back on the assembly line! I’ve been wanting to get some items back into my shop and also have some extras to send along with my consignment order. These rings are going to be given a blue-green patina, but I’ve discovered that the patina I’m using can be really hit-and-miss sometimes. It’s always interesting to see how it turns out.

Well, I guess I’m not really ‘mass producing’ anything unless making four or five identical pairs of earrings at a time qualifies. The point is, last week I got my first consignment contract! I met with the manager of a museum shop in northern New Jersey who was very enthusiastic about getting my various collections into the shop. The sooner I get my pieces into the display cases, the better, so I’m having to produce everything in sort of an assembly line fashion. It’s fun, though. I like having all the components lined up and seeing the pieces come together as I finish them.
