JKAT Jewelry at the One of a Kind Show Chicago

Well, it was a crazy four days...but it was a blast!!
Thanks to everyone who came out to visit & to all my new customers.
I had such a great time meeting everyone.
During our relatively few down times, I was able to get some shots of our booth.
We were so happy to have a window to show off the Chicago skyline, since all our work is made here in Chicago.
Thanks to my photographer friend Andrea Bauer for the shot of me!
In the last shot you can see the hands that I made for the film ANGELS & DEMONS.  They are a life cast of my father's hands...I thought they were a fun display element to accent our bracelets.  :)

The Makings of a Big Open Heart

In this series of pictures you can see me shaping out our Big Open Heart pendant in wax.
I roughed out the basic shape of it, then cut out the heart, cleaned it up and then started sculpting the contours and details.
The last picture of the wax is getting close to the finished piece, but still has a ways to go as far as smoothing it out.
The very last pic is of an all sterling silver Big Open Heart on a 24" sterling silver ball chain....simply awesome!




Who doesn't want to wear a Big Open Heart around their neck?
We're all about feelin' the love over here at JKAT.

JKAT Attack!


Check out this drawing by L.A. based artist TonyMech.
T-Mech does really cool drawings of robots.  We met while working on the film ANGELS & DEMONS.
I was so stoked to see a JKAT Bot!
Thanks T-Mech!!  :)
