All the better to hear you with

While visiting my family over the holidays, back in rural Chicagoland, I spent a few days carving up a few new fun pieces.  As usual, you can keep the work away from me, but you keep me from working away on something.. no matter where I am..  The creativity just needs to find a way out.  Always!

After casting the freshly carved wax ring into sterling silver, I polished it up to a shiny mirror finish for extra pop.  I love the shine, but would love to do one with a matte finish, too.  Could be cool!

Thought I'd just through in a sneaky photo of the cold NYC --herrre-- !!
