I worked on a mermaid recently for Laura.
Besides that, things have been pretty slow over at the MM workshop. A few custom orders, a few etsy sells, but nothing too exciting, which is perfect right now. This has been a very busy summer!
I may apply for Liberty Local, an upcoming fair in Ann Arbor, so stay posted for that.

I’ve been working on things here and there this summer to keep the blades waxed up (not actually a jewelry phrase but maybe I can start a trend). Here is a custom UP with Manistique cut out and a mini mitten with some jazzy beads.

An awesome necklace for an awesome girl.

Making cool things between craft shows this “spring.” Tonight was a pair of copper U.P.’s for two Michigan native sisters living outside the mitten.

Only 8 days until 30x30! Line up starts at 11am outside the Ann Arbor Art Center, for those prepared to make a mad-art-buying-dash. I’m happy to announce that I finished my 30 pieces! Phew, never thought I’d get that done. Now, to prepare for the Whip Stitch on April 15th. Can you smell that? It’s the smell of spring craft shows.

Yours truly has been invited to be a vendor at the Ann Arbor Derby Dime’s Whip Stitch Art & Craft Fair on April 15th at Corner Brewery! Come check out Mitten Metalworks and 24 other fantastic artists from 2 to 10pm. Don’t forget to try the specialty brew made especially for this event! No clue which designs I’ll have with me to sell, but have no fear: They will be AWESOME!

I’ve been playing around with my acid etching techniques and want to share a secret with you: Brass etches amazingly well. I mean, look at those colors! This baby is one of a few necklaces now on sale on my Etsy. Go check out the store! Don’t forget.. I LOVE custom orders!

xxbamb asked: hello! i love your work, i saw some of your art at DUAF and i fell in love, how much do you charge for customized necklaces?

What a great note to start my day with! Pieces are based on size, primarily, and if there is extreme detail like in the ‘Brenna’ necklace. Shoot me an email to discuss specifics: loren . sanders @ gmail . com
