Well it's newsletter time again, and this one is all about how your input directly influences what we create. The custom Sinners pictured are an example of what can be achieved when we work with you on an individual basis, and each have come about entirely from customer request.

Subtle changes like Roberts scowling skull are simple and inexpensive to apply. This also required an extended banner which worked so well that all Sinners now have a wider banner than in our original design.

We had experimented briefly with carving tattooed skulls, so when Jman requested that very thing it all fell into place. The cracked and broken wing was his suggestion and the resulting piece was something neither Steve nor I would have considered designing.

Chris' suggestion for a jawless Sinner also broke the mold. Again this is only a small adjustment of minimal cost, and he now has an original and personal piece.

Somewhat more customized is Jackie's Shadow finished jawless with cabochon onyx in the eye sockets. These are a novel addition too any piece for extra spookyness and that woooOOOoooo factor.

Aaron has been a great customer over the years, and when he requested a pendant based on the Sinner it pushed the design into a new application. As soon as the prototype was assembled it became apparent that he was onto something, and the whole piece came together seamlessly.

To quote John Lennon: "Reality leaves a lot to the imagination", so keep those creative juices flowing and let us know what you're thinking.

Till next time,
Mark and Steve
