It was great to see old friends and make new ones in Rochester this weekend!

New tin brooches made from tin images that are hand sawn and riveted onto printed tin backgrounds.  The frames are held together with tiny tube rivets.  The circle attachments are all domed to give some extra visual interest at different heights.  They will be for sale this weekend at the Clothesline Show in Rochester.

Formed the tin on these earrings with a hydraulic press when I was at Haystack this summer.  They are just like little pillows.  I just got around to joining them together.  They are going to be at the Clothesline Show.

Starting the countdown to the Clothesline Show in Rochester on September 7 and 8.  So many artists and so much fun!

Working on shutters which will become a new sign for my booth at craft fairs.

Still need to put them together with hinges, but they are light weight and hopefully, eye catching.  Might add some bottle caps, too.

A great day at the Madison Boukville Antique Show.  I have never seen so many booths, tents and fields and the main event doesn't even start for days.  My brother and I wandered the fields looking for great finds.  Here are the new tins in my arsenal of supplies:
