It's been quite some time since I've had the opportunity to tap into my creative side, so I thought it was time to put together a new crown for sale. This piece is simple yet exudes an understated elegance that I hope will find a good home. Presenting the Crown of Darius, crafted with care and attention to detail. If you're interested in making it yours or have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Latest Walmart Shenanigans: I placed 2 orders for merchandise on Walmart over 2 weeks ago, and I am still waiting for delivery. I went online today and checked the tracking to find out that 2 of the 3 packages ordered have been delivered. One went to Lubbuck, TX. and one went to Lakeland, FL. The third is on its way to Puerto Rico. Now all three were supposed to have been delivered to my Aunt in Kingman, AZ. I called Walmart to complain and to get my money back. I was told by their customer service, if you want to call it that, that their system does not show any of the packages being delivered yet. Now, keep in mind, that both the air carrier and the US Postal service show me the delivery info. But Walmart's system is so out-dated it shows that they are still in delivery mode. Now what pi**es me off is that Walmart tells me that I need to wait 48 hours after their system shows that the packages have been delivered before I can get a refund. And, to top it all off, they informed me that the seller of the merchandise has been committing fraud by selling merchandise and not delivering the merchandise ordered and have been removed from Walmart's sales system.

Ok, now if they knew this, why haven't they contacted the customers to advise them of the situation and automatically refunded the amounts back. I asked Walmart who was holding the money, and they said they were. So that means Walmart is utilizing the funds that the victimized customers have paid and not being forthright and doing right by their customers. Wouldn't you think they would check these vendors out before they sign them up to sell on their system? At least Amazon refunds the money if you don't receive your order. I think I will stick with them and to hell with Walmart! This is my true story. Tell your friends.

Are you tired of the notifications yet? While I am, and I think I found out how to stop receiving all of these annoying notifications. Let me know if you want to know how, and if a sufficient number of you want to know, I will send out what I found out.

Well, I haven't had to do this in a while, and swore it would never happen again, but it has. Below you will see pictures of a customized crown that I did for a client who decided they did not like it upon completion. That leaves me holding the bag for all of the time and expense that has gone into this piece. Thus, it is being put up for sale.
It is heavily embedded with glass crystals in red and blue. The Dragons head was commissioned with an artist friend of mine and is all hand sculpted, and, therefore, is a one of a kind piece. It is sculpted in clay, and then cast in a polyurethane resin, so it is slightly flexible and resists breaking.
The crown is approximately 22.75" in size. If interested, please contact me, or make an offer.

Well, as many of you may have noticed, I have been just a bit absent as of late. I have been staying pretty much to myself, and a lot of you have been asking why. So, I thought it was time to let you know.

It all started back in 2009 when I moved back into my parents home in Carlsbad, Ca. because my Dad had been diagnosed with brain cancer. My siblings felt that I was the one that should move back home to take care of my Mom; so I did.

So for 13 years I have been taking care of Mom. This means handling all the finances, grocery shopping, trip planning, driving, etc. I gave up my social life basically to make sure my Mom had a happy life, and it was well worth it. Every second of it. My Mom was very accepting of my lifestyle and loved all of my friends and was even a member of the House of Asia in San Diego.

Well, on July 5, 2022 she left this world to be with my Dad, and my Big Brother, who passed in April of 2021. I was totally devastated and I am still not over it. A few days after Mom left us, my sister passed from Liver Cancer. It was just a little bit more than I could handle. But life goes on.

After going over everything, I have come to the conclusion that I have to sell the house and move on. I am in the process of doing that now; where I will go from here, who knows,. Hopefully, I will figure things out soon. Financially it is going to be tough to pick up and move somewhere else, but I need to move on with my life and be with "my people."

I want to thank all of you who have been so understanding, and I felt it was time to explain my absence. I hope to be able to get back out on the scene soon, and thank you in person.

Love to all of you,

Uncle Terry

I have just been notified that my sister will be undergoing surgery to remove a kidney due to cancer this Saturday. So, I am sorry to say that I will not be able to attend the 50th Anniversary Coronation of Long Beach. I will miss you all. Please send good thoughts and wishes to my family during these trying times. Thank you.

Greetings to Everyone on this very sad day. For those who didn't know or realize, our Production Studio is in the Ukraine. I have not been able to contact the staff since before Russia started its invasion of this freedom loving country.
At this time, we are unable to take any additional orders until this situation is resolved. We currently have around 34 Crowns in stock and that is it for now. Please keep in mind that 10-20% of every sale goes back to the staff from every sale. So if you are interested in buying a crown.....now is the time and it helps the staff and their families.
Thank you for reading this and your understanding during these hard times. Please keep our staff in the Ukraine in your thoughts and prayers.
