Things are now settled, it's time to share the new place and new jewels!

Here is a tiny peak at my new place, and some detail shots of the new studio...

^Russian music boxes that each play a different theme from "Fiddler on The Roof", antique mirror with Stray Arrow Featherblade necklace, and my favourite designated CAVE LADY plaque. The music boxes represent an old memory from one of my grandmothers. The plaque was made for me by the dear Tory of ToryNova, featuring me in true Cave fashion on the left, and her in true T-REX fashion on the right.

^ My favourite old TURQUOISE TREASURE CHEST. I scored this favoured piece at an antique & flea market. The Marines illustrated fold out piece was acquired along the St. Martin Canal, Paris.

^ Three different Arrow Vane sizes. Painting of Muninn with oils, cold wax, and fire ashes.

^ My gargoyle Askewheteau ("He who keeps watch"). Dangling from him is one of the first finished necklaces I made 4-5 years ago. The necklace was an "East meets West" theme featuring a Southwestern Thunderbird and the three clans from the Kanienkehaka (turtle, wolf, bear). Dangling stones are white buffalo turquoise and Crow Springs mine turquoise.

THE STUDIO...

I'm now in a shared studio space with other artists. These are just a couple of close ups. To see peaks of my space throughout its evolution you can follow me on Instagram: @thestrayarrow

NEW JEWELS

---these new pieces will be added to BOTH shops by the end of the night---

That's it folks! Thanks for keeping up and supporting my work. As always, there's more to come!

Just because.

This is my messy, messy, work bench. I use VERY limited tools. Another bench to the left in an L-shape is where the torch, quench bucket, pickel, and steel punches are at.

I'm normally fairly "messy" in general as I constantly use and reuse my metal scraps from sawing. So, here's a little taste for you all!

The sweater is what I place my computer on, right in front of me when sawing or working. I usually go through whole TV series, broken up by audio lectures (usually philosophy, history, or 18/19th century poetry lectures).

Pliers, files, coping saw, metal scraps.

Ring mandrel for forming ring shanks and sizing, deer hide for setting stones without damaging the rings. My busted v-board and fat c-clamp are on the right for sawing.

That's all folks! A tiny peak into the Stray Arrow world. Messy, messy, cluttered, world. More to come!
