Farewell Etsy!

Oh Etsy, it has been a grand three years, but now I'm breaking up with you. Check out the all new Kill Taupe online store at Killtaupe.com

Stay groovy!

I cannot compete with the great videos that were made by the other guys so I thought I would try this slide show. It is shameless self promotion but then isn't that the point? Some of these pieces are in my shop, some have never been in my shop, and some were once in my shop but are there no more. Thanks for taking a look. TNKerr

A Short Jewelry Video

No one has posted anything for a couple of months, so I just thought I'd share this short video and a site that is new to me. I recently made this using the web site http://www.animoto.com. The site is super easy to use site, and I've posted the video to both youtube and myspace trying to gain some visibility. The video is limited to 30 seconds unless you pay for a longer one, but for me 30 seconds was enough for me to showcase a few of my favorite items. :) The background music was composed by my friend Shawn Huckabay and used with permission.








I think it's a cool way to show my items, and just wanted to share. :)



Thanks,

Jason

I'm Getting Steamy...

How about a bipedal Chicken Walker with Pilot




Well, steampunk anyway. Been doing more things in that arena. Thought I'd bring some to light here.

We have a mini planet system, an orrery, with magnetic base. Also a unicorn, robot head.




See my etsy store, buildersstudio.etsy.com to buy!

Thanks,

New Tutorial! Making Jumprings.

A lot of people seemed to find my making hearts tutorial useful, so I made a new one. This one is on making jump rings, but this time I used video instead of still shots.



There's a bit of background noise as Amanda is upstairs blasting Rammstein and doing dishes, but overall, I tihnk it turned out rather well.  Enjoy!

Men's Calendar project

The idea of the guys doing a calendar has always been a great one,but for several reasons,it kept going to the back burner,today it was brought back to the forefront again by some very persuasive ladies.Guys,we must make this happen!
The ladies are threatening to come after me if it does not materialize...and frankly,I'm scare of them!So,please save my hide and let's do this!

Builder's Studio Holiday offerings

I go by Buildersstudio
(buildersstudio.etsy.com) on Etsy (some of you I know
already know me), and I make a LOT of different
things. I live in Western NY State (we're getting
pummeled by cold, snow and the worse wind now!). I've
always been an artist as well, painted for a long
time, have this last year gotten into the ACEO (mini
paintings) movement, do scultures, jewelry, walking
canes, and on...

However. Lately I have concentrated on what might
best be described as "Retro Tech" items, like robots
and the like, make almost enitrely out of wood! You
know adult toys (NOT that kind!), statues maybe. It's
an ever expanding series. I've been a fan of science
fiction my entire life, reading even as a kid the
classic stories from Asimov, Bradbury and so many
others. Here's a group shot:


Now just before the holidays I have brought out a
related line of classic ray guns, FULL, life size, as
in 1:1 scale models, also wood, often in colors with
metallic finishes. Here's a pic:

Also, a small Omni Telescope:

Also ray gun Christmas Ornaments, as well as ornaments
of flying saucers, alternate universe dirigibles.


For this time of year I'd like to offer for my fellow
"club" members a members discount on orders placed
this week through Sunday 12/9/07, 25% off the list
prices (prior sales excluded and not valid with others
sales I run unless I can do it.)

If anyone has any comments, or would like to talk
about custom work or anything, drop me an email:
buildersstudio@yahoo.com. If I don't post again soon
then I hope you all have a great holiday season and a
Happy New Year!

Thanks,
Pete
