Artistic Bench Block Pads

March 31, 2010  |  Jewelry Related  |  No Comments  |  Share

Here are 3 Limited Edition Bench Block Pads. Click on each photo for a bigger view.  Aren’t they adorable?

I got a local award winning artist to do his personality-filled cats on 3 pillows, dated and signed, too!

No two are alike, each is hand drawn with a black permanent art marker.  Notice that one has the design off to the side leaving you room to use your smaller bench block on the clear area.

The design is drawn on smooth leather, the backs of each are suede to help keep your pad in one place.  Sand filled and very handy, sure to put a smile on your face every day.

While available on etsy….thanks for looking!

Bench Block Pillows NEW Labels!

2 Styles-Woven and Printed

2 Styles-Woven and Printed

Just a quick post here….I got my new labels!

2 styles, from 2 different sellers on etsy.  The first style is woven or embroidered so the colors are bright!

The second is printed and as you can see, the colors are not so bright.  Nor is the printing as big, even tho’ they used the same 300DPI JPEG.

Still, these will be the labels for my new bench block pads.

And I’m coming up with a surprise!  A local award winning artist has agreed to do a few limited edition pads, one of a kind pads, with his signature cat cartoons, very cool!

As soon as I have some, I’ll post photos and have them on etsy.  A portion of the sales of these will go to the local help-the-cats organizations.  Of course, a portion of the sales already goes to these places, that’s one reason I sell on etsy.  To give more to the local shelters.

Thanks so much!

Whopping Bench Block Pad Pillow Cushion Thing!

October 11, 2009  |  Jewelry Related  |  No Comments  |  Share

Here’s the biggest bench block pad I’ve made to date, black suede, 8 inches across and filled with BBs.  Shown next to the usual 6 inch round, little sister.

It’s a custom order, wonder if the artist realizes it weighs almost 7 pounds?

Pretty heavy and dangerous if it falls on toes or gets throw about.  But also a great solid piece of equipment for a jeweler’s workbench, don’t you think?  Great for holding steady a larger size bench block or anvil, or even dies and cutters.

A new color bench block or anvil pad for your workbench!

A really pretty soft light blue, like an end of summer sky. These are the same color, taken in different light.

If you pick one full size and one Travel cushion from my etsy shop, and email me before you pay (that’s so I don’t ship it without knowing what I’m about to say next), I’ll include FREE a custom made Travel pillow case. My choice of fabric and color for this case but it will be complimentary to your pillow color.

How’s that?

New Bench Block Bag Design

March 22, 2009  |  Jewelry Related  |  No Comments  |  Share

After a year of making and selling round bench block bags or pillows, I finally realized I could make them not round…and they would serve the same purpose but have a little more joie de vivre!

So, here’s my first try at a new shape

Hexagon!
