SCHOOLDAYS SOUVENIRS & What programs we use at CRAZY PIG DESIGNS.

While digging through boxes in my garage I found some folders full of my early
schooldays drawings.These were done usually during classes on scraps of papers
note pads or whatever was at hand .All the drawings were done between the age
13 and18.
Here's a small selection for your attention....
I was really into comix book and fantasy artwork, I guess it was my
first steps into designing jewellery.
The point being that I think that to design and make quality jewellery
the very first skill required is a natural ability to draw ,
and I mean pen to paper not using a  computer program.
Even if one can draw well it does not mean that carving will be second  nature
Carving in 3 dimension is also another skill necessary for creating jewellery designs.
Again , nowadays many people are getting computer programed machines to
do their wax carvings, and usually the result is......FEEBLE!
Remember the movie "MEET THE FEEBLES"

Once you can draw, once you can carve, and once you can make jewellery
you can combine the three and  add some rock& roll to the mix
you do what we do at CRAZY PIG DESIGNS.

Or go to PC WORLD and get all the software to do the same...( good luck!)

Well quite a week.
Starting with the ROYAL WEDDING What a great day it was !

but if it is a little too tight
Don't worry Will we can sort it out.
By the way! Where's your ring WILL?
Not sure of what to get?
Again, we can help you there, depending on your budget of course.
Saturday , I went for a ride with friends with my
 1932 FORD DEUCE ( a la JEFF BECK)
We stopped at the top of AMERSHAM HILL for a while,
when one of my most favourites musician and customer drove past,
Yes ! OZZY himself at the wheel of his open top car
driving VERY carefully!
A short while latewr he drove past again and wave at us...
Of course everyone knows the other GREAT NEWS
so I won't bother.
Back at the store we just finished another SPECIAL ORDER
A classic SKULL & CROSS BONES ring in solid 18 carat gold
with two white diamonds set in the eyes.
A good start of the month
