Weights for the Last Three Lures

I picked these up from the ceramics studio yesterday - here are the weights

I'll post weights again once they are fully rigged.

Some cool ocean inspired art from the gallery at my office

This is the latest showing at the art gallery in the lobby of my office building.

 

 Cool little exhibit! Oh -and Happy Father's Day to all you Fathers out there!

Getting Ready to Rig and Dress These

I've had these back from the ceramics studio for a bit now - I've just had other things to do and honestly I've been totally avoiding the need to relearn the wire bender. Well, with a short trip coming up, I figure I need to get these done. I weighed them to see how much weight they lost in the kiln process (fired twice - bisque and high temp). Without using a calculator, on the average they lost about 15 to 25% of their wet weight. Since these are on the smaller side it is likely they'll gain all that back once the wire, hook and dressing are added on. Stay tuned...
