Spent some time working on another new pendant today. Not sure how I want it to hang, but I'm pleased with it.

Finally ready, added a ring at the top so they would hang better and have finished a batch of them. These are my Birthday Pendants, they help support the things I am trying to do for my 50th year

Decided to make a larger version of my knotty hooks out of 3/8" round.

I will be in Scotland in April, any Blacksmiths (or shops) I should and could visit while I'm there. Mostly Edinburgh with some Aberdeen, Speyside and a side order of Glasgow.

Finished some hooks. I also learned recently that these are not tentacles, but rather arms. Tentacles only have suction cups at the ends, while arms have suction all along them.

Eventually.... Thinking of using it as a small fundraiser for me. I'm going to Scotland for my 50th... So soon.

Today I gave myself some time to work on a new pendant design that I have wanted to do for a little while. Tada. Diamond weave.

Not really the image you may be expecting, but yesterday I spent a bunch of time replacing the hose in my induction Forge. Should work better now.

Been a little out of the posting mood. But just finished this little combo. A gate and an obelisk.

I spent a lot of time try to theme out and story tell, and realized that's really hard to do. Especially with that amount of space and if I don't want it all to be the same. I'm sure by the time I actually get to make this (in 2026) I'll have a story of some sort.

Concept art. I have been commissioned to first design and then hopefully build about 80+ feet of fence and gate for an art based, live work, low income housing, building that is hopefully going to break ground this year. these are some of the current concept images I have. still a #WIP

Some more images

So at the end of every year I try and take a moment and do something just because, for me, cause I wanna. This year I took two traditional bracelets and made them big. 3/8" round bar Egyptian coil (modified) and a a wave. One was significantly easier.

This is a project I started a long time ago. It will hold a 45lb ammonite just got it back from the powder coater. Love the sparkle #blacksmith #blacksmithing #ironwork #metalwork #forge #forging #art #artist #seattlemade #metalart #handmade #artistblacksmith

well, that's the way it works!

Bought some wine stoppers and made some tops, simple but sometimes that's what is needed.

That is disappointing.

hmm, an entire list just up and disappeared. I'm not sure why. I enjoyed finding metal artists on it and seeing what people were doing. The list was "Metalworking", looking for more lists or preferable metalwork/sculpture/jewelry etc. if you know of them please share.

Some more squish. This made me feel better. One of them looked like a face. I brass brushed that one to give it the gold tone.

I don't dislike this, I just wish it was more for the amount of time I have put into it, also the number of burns ratio and stress level is higher than it should be. Hmm, maybe it's me and not it.

wait that looks easy.. ;)

This has taken me a bit more time than I had originally planned (surprise... Not surprised), but it is coming along. I'll bend the tops tomorrow

The start of an obelisk. One of four legs all Will be twisted all the way down with some of the 1/2 bars sweeping out to connect. Wish me luck.
