Together Janet & Stacy have let their mutual love for animals blossom into an extensive line of unique copper and stone animals, with an emphasis on turtles, frogs, & lizards, although a variety of animals are represented and new ones are constantly being created.  

This has also let Janet get back to her first love of clay sculpture.  They first all make their realistic original out of a modeling clay.  A master mold is then made from this and  it is reproduced into cast resin armatures.

These are reconstructed and stone is placed in the appropriate places.  Then, through a very unique process of electroforming, they apply the pure copper around the stone and resin armature.  Once the metal has been applied the piece is then oxidized, polished, and sealed with three coats of weather resistant lacquer. 

The results are a realistic sculpture with the stone inlaid in an almost mosaic effect and each one having subtle differences that make them all one of a kind pieces.  They are reasonably sturdy and can go outside.  The lacquer coat keeps them from tarnishing.  We have named each style of turtle and frog and look at each as an individual.  Several work together well as groupings. For the serious critter collector they are a must!  We hope to see you as customers for years to come.  Check back often to see our newest designs.

Why Jassi?

It's otherwise known as "Janet And Stacy's Super Ideas"...Ok, that's not how it really started.  Jassi was the name of one of our early dogs who, when we got her, friends said it was a Stupid Idea to get another dog since we certainly weren't "dog poor" at the time.  But alas, we were both products of Walt Disney's "Big Red" generation, and had always wanted an Irish Setter, so it went the course that her registered AKC name was written out as "Janet And Stacy's Stupid Idea"~~JASSI.  Or so the story goes...When the time came to rename our partnership, with a slight alteration, we thought it perfect for our business.    JASSI DESIGNS
