Macaroons AGAIN...

Treasure Stokes Croft...

This is a sign I did aaaaages ago, but they've only recently relocated to this new shop around the corner - the sign's a little bit dwarfed by the size of the fascia, but it still looks okay.

DEATH METAL PIZZA

Hoek's Death Metal Pizza - I had to take this box back with me when we stopped by their in Austin, Texas, the year before last - the pizza is great, and it's the only place I've ever been able to truly enjoy Death Metal. In the background is one of my first experiments with gold leaf.

Progress picture...

 So it turns out jigsawing a company logo isn't so easy with one arm trussed up in  - albeit attractive - fluoro pink plaster. `I've never broken a sodding bone in my life before, until within about 24 hours of my flight to Austria for a skiing trip with my wife and her folks (I married well), I slipped arse over tit over a bollard whilst walking the mutt. I flew out there anyway, but just did the whole apres bit without the activity bit for a week.

Upping sticks and getting outta here...

 I'm finally getting out of my old shop in Hamilton House, Bristol, and moving all the way up the road to Bath Buildings (about a three-minute walk). I've enjoyed my time there with the hippies, but I need a bit more space and better access. We are also currently going under something of a re-branding, with new workshop, new website and new company name which should all be ready soon for an aesthetically pleasing transition!

I'll be sharing with my cousin Dylan Humphries, a guitar luthier - check out his spiky axes here.

Apologies to your eyes for the trouser-less schmuck (Dylan) in the new space.

The Biblos Baggins adventure continues...
