Circle Pendant 2

I love this piece for many reasons. I used all the scraps from three years of metal smithing to cast ingots, drew the ingots down to wire, and made the tubing and settings myself. It was a communion with my learning's as well as a display of skill.

woah a journal update

Wed Nov 4, 2009, 10:57 PM
In an effort to be more of a presence on deviant art, and to stop lurking about peoples brilliant pages and start participating I have decided to start updating again, to start commenting more on peoples art, and to try and use this as a platform for commissions and a general sharing of art. and exploring other art forms as well.
I'm having to find new ways to create because I have developed carpel tunnel AND tendinitis in both hands and arms. It makes even the simplest for of metal smithing difficult and painful. I am resting my arms as much as possible and wearing braces all of the time, but I miss working with metal terribly.
So perhaps I will take up photography or start drawing again. I am applying to grad schools across the world and waiting to take the next step in my life and move forward from stasis. I can't keep the past current, I can't see the future, and the present snaps like twigs underfoot. and all that makes me incredibly sad yet hopeful sometimes.

Hi there, how are you? You're sculptures continue to amaze and astound me. I think by metalsmith club you refer to my metals pictures collection, in which case, yes I am back and missed all your lovely installations. If I am mistaken then please enlighten me : )
:iconou8nrtist2:
No,I meant there's a club on DA that's called "Metalsmiths",

HAHA, well yes...I understand now. I've applied thank you! I should become more active in this little community, there is so much inspiring work to be found, yours' in particular.

Thanks Katie Black...
I think even Metalsmiths is having a slow recovery,but I suspect the more submissions they get the more into it they'll become and start processing the images faster...
I sort of take the initiative to harass certain individuals (like yourself) that in my humble opinion deserve just a little more airplay to maximize their potential as metal artists and get them a bit more motivated...I do this by encouraging them to join Metalsmiths...LOL
