Hands on a Pin

Apropos Wearable Art – “Hands on a pin.”

       A favorite pin of mine.

Welcome to Original Designs by Xtophe

Hi and welcome to the launch of my website. It has been a gradual process of trial and error to set things up and I am glad to finally be able to suspend the “under construction” sign.   I hope you’ll enjoy seeing some of my newest studio work below.  In the Portfolio section you will find images of pieces spanning months to several years back in time which had been photographed, and thus, could be posted immediately.
