Go class of '02!) Very little happening on the tiki front I'm afraid, as the shops continue to demand more contemporary jewellery. Still, I can think of worse ways of supporting the family and paying the mortgage. Encouragingly, a few have responded well to the tikis and have made some orders. A little bit of progress on the U'u, and the start of a new project - a rarity in that it was actually pretty well worked on paper before committing to stone: v TC Thread v myspace [ Edited by: Paipo 2007-01-14 16:25 ]
