Kirk's work starts to appear on eBay and sells well : Grille

I wish it were
Kirk gettin' the
euros.

Me too, 'specialy since they used my photographs, taken by Artemis.
Who is this guy, and why does his stuff sell for more than mine?
I just hope that is really my spoon, I can't translate that, it doesn't seem to mention sterling silver or me, the photo is mine, so I don't know about the piece.
I sold one recently to an antiques dealer in France, could this be that?
If it's mine he can have the photos. I'm going to assume it's mine, which brings me back to my second question. Overall, I'm happy for him, I wonder where he found it, I always sign and date them by hand, I almost always put the name (or initials) of the person I made it for too.

Is that not what makes them so special?

No, it's the owner.

"I found this spoon among other models. I think it must be an absinthe grille. This model is not common, and very original.
It will start, or complete, your collection. One of a kind??
Any information is welcome"


Sounds like somebody who isn't at all sure what they have, so it's weird that they have original (and proprietary ) photos.

Or somebody who knows exactly what they have, but by acting ignorant, hopes to make people think it's a lost antique, miraculously found by an idiot.

They are being deceptive about it, the photos are taken from my recent eBay auction, so they must know more than they are saying.
I wonder what the buyer knew?

In your case-
He misspelled-
"boner".

I just can't help it.

This Absinthe Spoon is hand made by an extremely talented Artist/Silversmith. The detail is incredible! It is a one of a kind piece and an Ulra-Rare Absinthe collectible

Saw that recently, incredible.

I'm on the wrong coast to be able to drive on over and kick his ass.

Yeah, that's no too cool, I could swear I only sold him one grille and a spoon, maybe he plans to order two more, I'll tell him they are no longer available.
He did ask me if I wanted to put it on his Ebay store, I told him no, I don't want them out there like that. I have to say though, it would be kind of funny if they are making knock off items from my work.

And they are not exactly one of a kind, although each one is unique and limited.

Like yerself.

I'm so relieved you said that.
I was afraid Kirkenstein
the original
might only be the prototype.

The over all effect is Kirk.

He's more of a knock off ...

Can it be long before jgyshoes is on here late at night posting threads selling kirk-spoon knockoffs?

Oh, let's hope!

I thought I keeled her.

You might have something there, I haven't been feeling myself lately.

Porn site down?

Ted's Grille at three times the market price.
Same guy who was reselling Kirk's grille.

...™

German Silver?
Must be why it's sooooo rare.

And, it's
1 shill fits all.

I prefer Kirk's. At least born with emotion and my extraits made friends with it.

Dunno if you've seen the details on the Jade spoon but that is one fine piece of work. As is Kirk's grilles.

BUT - you're starting to sound awfully WWS-ish in here.








Next thing, grown men will cry in here. Come on!

It is the details that make them so different, personal preferences might vary, though.

I'm cryin' right
the fuck now
because this place
sucks so bad.

Sanctify!

I should destroy the rest of the molds now, I already killed off the first several.

Anyone want them?

I

that comment

Fuck

Fuck

I

. . .

You

And that pretty much sums it up.

I nearly coughed up a lung, it was gritty (from the abrasives).
I had something to say, but my fingers are so sore, I'll be short.
My hands are permanently blackened, cut and bleeding. I have scars on top of my scars, I hate to look at my hands because they remind me of the price of obsession. In my sleep I pat the covers down, looking for tiny lost diamonds, as if my life depended on it, visions of fit, of gaining permission
of making molecules squeal.
I'm mad, and it pisses me off too.

Seriously, David: pull the remaining shots, I don't want to make another grille.
I'll make a couple of the new ones for you and then I'm done with this phase, thank you so much for showing my work.

When we're discussing artists, we're just as bad as the WWS over here. We worship every fart from an artist, so we run out of superlatives when something's *really* fucking great.

Yeah right, does an artist make the Jade spoon?
