Spiders, Spiders, Spiders

Hello again,

Bitsa Talent has just recieved 1 dozen hand crafted spiders.  That's right,
there are 12 little Boris' running around the office.  So for those of you
who have been waiting for your order to be filled it's on it's way.  For
those of you who haven't gotten a catalog or who don't know about the
spiders, here's the story.

In late 95 when John & Steve decided to form another band and tour again they
wanted to offer some unique tour items in smaller quanities that might just
mean a little more to the people that bought them.  So together with the help
of some very creative people they put together the merchandise line for The
Left For Dead Tour 96.  Most of you know about the numbered and signed
limited edition version of The Rock ( if not mail me and I'll fill you in)
and the Tour Book( thanks Rich & Sandee) with JAE's personal pix inside.
While they were deciding on different items they were introduced to Robin
David Ludwig.
Robin is the silversmith that created all of the exotic knives, crosses, belt
buckles and various metal body armor type pieces that Billy Idol wore in his
videos and live performances.  Robin is a classically trained silversmith and
his work is museum quality.
When they met, Robin was instantly drawn to the silver, onyx and ruby "Boris"
hanging around JAE's neck.  Robin suggested that he could do a smaller spider
that would be unique but still affordable.  John agreed and Robin turned out
some samples.  He made a silver spider that displayed the 3 stars and banner
from John's family crest on it's back.
John approved it and they are now available.  They are cast in bronze by hand
1 dozen at a time and finished in silver or a bronze / gold tone finish.
 They are available as pins or pendants.  Robin will also custom make one in
pure gold or silver with jewels for anyone interested in a one of a kind
piece.  

The price for the regular spiders? $45.00 US + shipping and handling which is
$5.00 within the US or $10.00 outside the US. 

The price of a custom piece depends on the materials used to create it.

So there you have it.

Thanks for reading,
