    Blue Jumper Darris' creation. IT'S ALIVE!!!

    Hello everyone,

    I wanted you all to see a little of my handy work. I've got another one finished but don't have the newest pictures of it yet. Steve was kind enough to let me post this here so I say thank you and enjoy.

    Steve also suggested that if any of you have any interesting designs to please put them on for all to see.

    Take care,

    Darris C.

    Groovy!! I bet you could sell them to Elton John for a pretty penny!!! Yes I too want to know how you made them. Are you starting your own line of Darriswear? Inquiring minds want to know!!

    Darris,
    Those were way cool! If I should ever want to become Captain Fantastic I will give you a call!

    Might I ask? How much do you sell them for?

    Very Impressive Darris.

    I used to make similar pieces back in the 70's for select clients. One of my favorites, being a true Texas born son, was a pair shaped like the state. My wife worked @ Foleys (big department store in Tx) so I put a small rhinestone for Houston, city name next to it, and my wife's initials in the corner. Sold the rights to a fellow and he had them mass produced - the frame used to be listed in the Frames catalog.
    Also made peoples initials, flowers, the 4 suits of cards, etc. All 3-piece rimless with engravings (Hermes engraver). Made my own templates for the engraver too. Made some good money in specialty work. And was certainly more fun than the standard Rx work.

    Loads of work, but very satisfying. Keep it up and post some more photos of the projects.

    John
