I blacksmith to keep my head screwed on straight and keep a little creativity alive. The craft is a way to connect with something basic, primal, elemental and beautiful. It is mostly a hobby, but I sell pieces and would like it to pay for itself. I'll do just about any request, if I have time and skill for it. Whether you want to chatter about the craft or help fund my hobby by buying a piece of functional art, I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Twisted Fun
This is a good example of what I have been working on the shop. I have been exploring one of the simplest and most beautiful embellishments available to the blacksmith for abstract beauty. The reverse twist, much simpler than the pineapple or grooved twists, but more attractive in my opinion. Two hooks and a key chain. They aren't listed on ETSY, but can be if you would like them. Note the odd waggle at the end of one of the hooks: more exploration and variety!
PS I strongly doubt that this will be the last post with a title like this. I just enjoy the layers of implicaiton too much to not keep adding them.
