Gonzo

These belt buckles represent the famous symbol of the late
Dr. Hunter S Thompson.
After his death, his wife, Anita Thompson, commissioned me to make these buckles as gifts for dear friends.
Each one is completely hand-fabricated
and you will have your choice of
one of Hunter's quotes stamped on the back.
The ones pictured below are 3"x3".
They are Sterling silver
and
are numbered and signed by me.

A portion of the proceeds will go to Anita's Gonzo Foundation.
Our family home is in Woody Creek, neighbors to Owl Farm.
Hunter is missed and loved throughout the world.
To his wife, you are one amazing woman.










The custom buckles are available:
$350.00 Sterling silver
$290.00 Sterling silver front with a copper back.
Necklaces and lapel pins are coming soon.....

My mother made me wonderful cakes for all of my birthdays. I have found joy ( and a lot of stress), trying to give my family and friends something that is memorable and special. This is something that so far I just do for "fun". I am self taught, but I think just being near my mother while she created masterpieces for me gave me the confidence to jump in and never to afraid to try something new. Thanks mom.


My dear friend Leah, is a very talented baker, something which I am happy to skip. She does not like to decorate, so together we make a great team. For the sock monkey cake she made a banana cake with whipped chocolate ganache and peanut butter frosting....it was amazing. I think that a cake should taste better than it looks and Leah makes it that way
