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.

A beginning: one of many
So, one of the things that I really want to do with this blog is have a forum for ideas. Sometimes it will just be me posting them to remember. Other times, hopefully often, you'll leave some feedback or ideas. I can tell that this weekend is going to require some decompressing, so I wanted to share my latest project beginning. It isn't unusual for me to begin to work on several projects and complete them as I am able. This one began long ago and I have used the excuse that I haven't pinned down a venue for completing it. In any case, the idea is a free hanging artistic piece. Simple idea, right? Well maybe. So, I created these two half frames. Each of them is the corner for such a piece. In one I will place a spiral based on the golden ratio and worked in copper. In the other, I am planning to put a calla lily or a rose along with some other vegetation. Either long and gently twisting or curly and vine-like. If you think you know which of these should be which, drop me a line. Also, other ideas or requests for where I could go with this would be great.
