Tiffany models Customized Peter Grimm Cowboy Hat artisaned by ej gold — $125.
Tiffany came over the other day to model hats — I wasn’t there for most of the photo shoot, but I was there for the end of it, and I do have all the shots taken in that short impromptu session, and this is one nice one that shows off the hat. This wrapped-fibre tailed & blazened custom cowboy hat from a Listed American Artist retails for a mere $125, and I make ’em myself, all by hand except for the genuine tagged Peter Grimm hat itself, which can be shaped, formed and customized in many different ways. Thanks to all those who did the modeling session. Wholesale on the hats is $65 — you only need to order 2 to get the wholesale price, so you’re actually getting one hat free!!!
Space Buddhaa models a hand-painted drip racerback dress by ej gold, retail $125.
I’m pushing very hard to get Tattoo-Fashions.com back up to marketing speed again, the way it was when we had our Mill Street Gallery, at about $600 a day in retail, but there’s a reason. Of course, I can’t keep up this pace forever, and I don’t intend to. The year is almost half gone, and Space Buddhaa will be here soon, to help get the Tattoo-Fashions product lines out the door and into the marketplace!

Every night I work at least 4 hours on the android games, and then the rest of the time I devote to the Tattoo-Fashions lines, which at present are hats, spaghetti strap tops, racerback dresses, vests, jackets, biker jackets, levis and shorts (like the ones in the photo above) and more, including wine sacks, six-pack thermals and Bench-Warmers!
I’ve also developed an interesting line of jewelry for Tattoo-Fashions. We’re scheduled for our first jewelry trunk show — ancient beads will be offered — on Labor Day weekend at Bob & Pam’s bead shop, Mana Beads, in Nevada City, so if you’re coming to the Labor Day Festival, you’ll have an opportunity to see how we work at this job.
Inspired by an idea mentioned to me a few months back by Space Buddhaa, I’ve been creating very dramatic copper jewelry, and I’ve been assiduously (look it up) doing very intense closeup videos showing my jewelry-making secrets, and Yanesh will be posting them very soon now — some might already be up. I’ll be demonstrating an exciting new technique for making wide copper bracelets without solder!
The method is very hush-hush; it’s been passed from generation to generation over the past 7,000 years, and I’m intent on teaching it to a few serious students, but due to a vow when I learned the secret, I cannot publish it on youtube or in a book. I can pass it on one-on-one to a very few who can manage to learn it face-to-face; that’s the only way it can be passed on.
I’m hoping to get the tattoo-fashions items up on eBay real soon, and have already ordered tops for Space Buddhaa to do her magic on. I’ll be looking to get hoodies and such for the fall, but no point right now — the market is for spaghetti straps and mini-shorts.
Bear with me here, on the issue of getting stuff photographed and posted on eBay, because 90% of my energy is into getting those android games out there, and I frankly have little energy left over to give to any other project at the moment, and that’s the way it’s been for some five months now.
The reason for this is that Claude needs a whole lot of games to launch all at once in our android store — they’re up, but not yet promoted. No sense promoting just a few games, so we’re working hard to bring all my games up to the new engine status and I’m making new levels as fast as my little digits can go on the keyboard and mouse.
I’m not online — no time for it except to post blogs. I do often look over folk’s shoulders as they’re in the ashram or in a safari, but I’m up to my elbows in work projects and feel the need to get them launched as soon as possible.
Claude and I got a bit of color, by the way, from the dirt collected at the claim a few days ago. I’m impressed. We never got color like this on the South Yuba or the American River North Fork back in the day.
Okay, that’s all the time I can take to keep you up to date. Everybody here is working two shifts or more!
See You At The Top!!!
