Pieces Coming Together

5 Pieces done, still working on 2 more. Some photos here. Shei Editorial Photoshoot of my work this Friday.

Design 2 (E-02)

This week I cut the components for Design 2, E-02. The process required 2 router appointments equaling 16 hours in total. Here are some in-process images...

.5" green edge acrylic

Olive burl cut prep - This particular job required a jig within a jig. The first jig allowed me to tell the machine exactly where the wood was located on the router bed while the second, inner jig, provided precision for flipping the piece.

Near the End

As of right now, I have a total of 5 pieces done. Just one more closer to my goal of 6. If I find time, I might attempt to do 1 more, total of 7. I've also been trying on my clothes on size 0-2 girls and they fit well. Aside from the collection, I'm also working on the graphic price tags for each piece and will shoot editorial photos of my work throughout this week with Shei (to be exhibited in April and used on my personal website). 3 different models will be featured, each wearing 2 of my pieces.

Other News: Shei Fest Fashion show will be held in the Michigan Ballroom.

Here are some photos of the work coming along.
