I haven't worked much on the new brooch since my last post about it. I need to design and carve the back of it, anodize it, and make the pinback. I am kind of stuck with the design for the back. I want to do something different from the front, but not totally different, and not something that is going to take longer to carve than the front.

I will be in a show at Taboo Studio in San Diego in August. I have started working on a couple pieces for that already. I do not want to wait till the last minute like I usually do with these things.
