Patterned Ti Wrunts

Hi Folks,

Happy Friday! Hope you all are gearing up for a nice relaxing Labor Day weekend. It's going to be a beautiful weekend here and I'm looking forward to it.

So I'm getting things heating up here a bit and starting to get projects moving forward. My time off slowed things down but I'm getting braced for the upcoming fall season... I've got some ti stuff coming today and over the next week. At the same time I also need to get some grinding time in so that I can finally get some steel stuff in the pipeline. It's all a juggling act each and every day but hopefully it all gets done in the end. :)

Today I have a little wave of ti Wrunts done. These have plain basic grinds, just accents grinds on either side of the main bevel, no extra grinds on any of them. No stamps either...but, they do have patterns and anodizing. They are all different, with many different patterns and all different color combos ranging from simple one color treatments to all sorts of rainbow, fades and multi colored pieces. So, no choice here, I'll send you what I send you, but they are all very nice. A length of bead chain is included with each Wrunt....

The patterned ti Wrunts are a small batch so they will be one per customer please. They run $65 plus shipping and the link is below. Thanks and have a terrific weekend everyone!

Patterned Wrunts are Sold Out, thank you!

Sporty peplum

 

I always love to combine items that you would not normally combine that easily. Like this lovely peplum dress from Romwe with a bomber jacket from the H&M trend section, classy goes sporty!

The sneakers are from Nike, the watch is from Seiko and the leather cap and clutch are from H&M.

Enjoy your day and thanks for reading!

UV Dice

Howdy Folks,

Well, I'm back from my vacation finally. Jenny and I have never really taken a real vacation, ie, one longer than a couple of days, so this was something that was long overdue. We took a 5 day cruise up the coast of Maine on the Lewis R. French, an 1871 antique sailing schooner. Aside from the broom closet sized cabins and cramped bunks it was a fabulous experience and the food was great. The endless numbers of little islands covered in evergreens, classic lighthouses and hard working lobstermen zipping around from buoy to buoy were really cool and made for unbelievable scenery. It's hard to climb out of that mindset and get back to the world of work but I'm slowly coming around. ;)

So anyhow, today I have some more titanium Dice finished. These are drilled and on bead chain. They are anodized a rich UV purple. I'm getting close to the end of the dice and not sure I'll make any more of them or not, we'll see what happens in the next month or two. These are the usual $30 for each single die and the link is below. Thanks for your patience (as always!) and I appreciate folks stopping by.

UV Dice are Sold Out, thank you!

Rainbow

I love this rainbow dress from Storets, it reminds me of the one from Christopher Kane that I adored so much but was unfortunately a bit over my budget. The platform sandals are from Topshop and the necklace is from Romwe.

At the moment there's a heat wave in the Netherlands and today it is 38 degrees, so I am off to the beach now! Happy Sunday!

Maxi mustard

Another comfortable outfit for a day on the town. I really adore wearing heels but I am not a fan of wearing them when I know I have to walk all day long. Today is my last day here in Cologne and I must say that I had an amazing time here! But hey, all good times come to an end..

I am wearing a maxi skirt from Vila, Celine shirt from Solilor, Sassy & Sophisticated necklace, H&M sandals, bag from VJ-style and Versace sunglasses via Designerseven

Casual shopping outfit

 



This is my idea of the perfect outfit for a day of shopping and sightseeing. I wore this outfit yesterday while we visited some lovely vintage shops and attended some great exhibitions. We walked about 20 kilometers this day, so comfort in clothes is needed. By the way, if you happen to be in Cologne, it is really worth while to visit the 1960's exhibition from Claes Oldenburg in the Ludwig museum. The exhibition is open to visit till the 30th of September.

We shot these photos in an amazing park called the Aachener weiher park. They had some nice swingchairs that I had to try out myself :) I am wearing a top from Zara, H&M necklace, skirt from Ax Paris, Michael Kors watch, See by Chloe bag, Versace sunglasses via Designerseven and New Balance sneakers via Brandos.

More Flat Wrunts

Happy Friday Folks!

It's rainy and muggy here today, typical summer weather....good day for a sale though. But first a brief update:

I've been doing some grinding this week and making a bit of progress on the S30v steel Roid Keytons. Probably a good estimate on them would be mid September or so but at least they are finally moving forward. Same story and similar timeframe for the remainder of the 3v steel Semi Roid G5 Prybabies.

So today I have more of the flat Wrunts with light raw bar finish done. These have a set of small grinds on the pry end of the tool. And before anyone asks, they are all the same, no variations, no stamps and no other styles of grinds on these. Because I did the grinds after heat treat I ended up having to lightly bead blast them to even out the finishes.

Anyhow, these Wrunts are $50 plus shipping and as usual the link is below. Thanks for stopping by and hope your upcoming weekend is a relaxing one!

Flat Wrunts are Sold out for now, thank you again everyone, always very much appreciated!

Cologne

 
 






 

At this moment I am in Cologne, enjoying a short break with my bf. It´s a lovely city, with so many things to do and visit, Today we went to see the dom which is Germany’s largest cathedral, did some shopping (I will show you later what I bought), had something to drink at a real "biergarten" and ate the most amazing spring rolls and bami goreng at a very nice vegetarian restaurant (how cute is that sticker, I totally agree with that hehe).
Tomorrow we are planning to go to visit some vintage shops and go to an exhibition about the 1960's in the Ludwig museum. So much fun!

And for those who are interested, I am wearing a Topshop skirt, Zara top, Monki necklace, Chanel bag, Prada sunglasses and H&M sandals. Talk to you later my dear readers!
