What's up HyperLynks??
Good question. Quite a lot actually. I've been spending a good portion of my time over this past year and more working on two major, and I mean major(!!) projects that have been taking up most of my time. When can I share more details about them? Soon, very soon!
But because of them - you may have noticed, kit writing has slowed drastically. I actually have a good-sized storage bin of prototypes on my desk that are waiting to get photographed and written, and I'm happy to say, they will be going into production soon. In that pile will include at least one fairly large project and at least one new addition to Penny's Zoo.
Also - I know stock has been an issue at some of your favourite retailers and I apologize for that - especially with our gorgeous titanium rings. Last week I had a troll argue with me that we don't cut titanium and that rings I were holding in my fingers were using a hand model - now that part I did find quite funny because I've watched my hands age over 15 years of tutorial pictures lol.
Should you need/want/crave (all of the above!) products that you can't find in stock, send me a message. We'll make sure to get some made. And as I get these two large projects done, one of them will specifically make sure stock gets made faster.
Back to work I go...

Happy Pride Month! Creating pieces with all colours of the rainbow is one of our favourite things to do! Check out the photos for some inspiration:
