I'm Crabby This Morning

05/01/09

Crabs fit their name well.

They are crotchety -- well, crabby -- little varmints to manipulate.

They generally do not have good drill points, their claws get in the way, they aren't easy brooches to find (especially such that they'd pull off a cohesive design).

It takes a long time to grind their backs smooth.

BUT, having done all that griping -- aren't they ever so worth it??

The center beauty is sterling silver with a soapstone (or possibly South American serpentine) belly.

Other vintage collectibles balance out this one.of.a.kind, bar-none beauty.
