I just thought of another one-
I was just thinking...
instead of a gift-
how about making a donation to an arts organization on someone's behalf?
(I know I'd love to make a more significant
donation to Haystack)the arts are suffering from lack of funding as usual- so maybe we could make a list of orgs that need more support from our community...
hey, I'd be super happy with a membership renewal for SNAG! :-) just saying
Randi said...
I'm still thinking in terms of a jewelers bra - with a nice little shield to protect my sternum when I tighten my saw. Is that too much ask for?
Eddie (aka Erkki) said...
To Randi...
If you take close look of my "interview pic" you can see, that i have reinforced my leather apron's left hand side with a piece of thick rubber.
It is handy when i tighten my saw!
No more chest pain! :) :)
-Erkki- (Eddie) :D

Great idea! My santa list has on it:
1- rolling mill
2- set of alphabet stamps
3- set of really good needle files
4- set of really good hand files
Gwen said...
Ooooh... my list would include...
1. Some of that "invisible glove" hand cream that gardeners use... Makes cleaning up after polishing a breeze.
2. A custom made logo stamp.
3. A long enough holiday to let my nails grow long enough to paint them (for the first time ever)
4. Tough enough fingers after the holiday to be able to work again without major finger damage...
5. Some clothes without acid holes in them.
Art of the Firebird said...
1. A big ol' tree stump for pounding things on
2. Several texturing hammers
3. A small but sturdy rolling mill
4. Someone to come in and organize my studio
5. Time to work in the studio once it's organized
