Eclectic designs printed on gifts & apparel just for you - a cut above the rest!

Do you play mandolin?   Or guitar?   Or even other lesser known plucked instruments like the cittern, bouzouki, or mandola?   You’ll want to read about our hand-crafted ivory picks!   When I first started to play the mandolin and mandola a few years back (not professionally, but just for fun), I found that I was unhappy playing with the commercial plastic picks that were available out there.   Being a (somewhat) crafty sort, I began experimenting with making my own picks from antique elephant ivory.  People close to me tried them and were enthusiastic about the tone quality they produced, so I decided to make them available for special order through the Web.

Soon afterward, I figured they needed some special designs to accompany them! Here are some available through CafePress and through Zazzle.
