Last bowl before I take a vacation from all types of work and go into the woods for a reset. Tried something different this time- wide low bowl with hammered accents at the base. About 13” across. #servingbowl #blue #patina #copper #metalwork #metalartwork #metalworking #raisingmetal #metalraising
No time to be bored. Haven’t made jewelry in ages so I decided to give it a go. #earrings #jewelry #jewelrymaking #metalworking #metalwork

Swipe for Process photos... A tricky green, this one. Took 2 tries to get it to stick, and was never sure how it would turn out until the very end. But there’s nothing more like Christmas Eve in metalworking than applying patina and watching it change. #patina #metalworking #copper #green #madeinla #metalwork #process #servingbowl #metalartwork #madebyhand

What did you do this weekend? I made #servingbowls since the only one I’ve ever made sold a few weeks ago. Experimenting with sizes and colors. #copper #metalwork #metalworking #madebyhand #raisingmetal #patina #madeinla #homedecor #functionalart
She’s a big’n. Ow. Time to get my wrists back into shape. Or at least get used to the pain again! #copper #metalworking #metalforming #raising
This is what almost $400 of material looks like. Ouch. But I need to make again... #fucktrumptarriffs #makeordie #metalworking #metal
By no means is this piece finished... but unfortunately I won’t get to work on it for another few months. So I brought it home for safe keeping until then. She’s a beast.... #metalwork #sculpture #metalart #steel #copper #brass #somanydetails #neversatisfied #hammerwork #welding #handmade #art
