Hi Paula,

Simply awesome. I love your attention to detail. I can also see this style work as wall art, a screen, or a gate.

Thanks for the close up!

Paula:I hate to say this,but there`s something I don`t like about the details of your chair ... I don`t get to see them in real and touchèm! It`s an excellent work, and I encourage you and all of us, as we can, to include a close up once in a while.We can appreciate better so much craftmanship,so much quality,often times not visible in a picture as a whole. nelson

Thanks for the detail shot. I love the contrast of the smooth metal seat behind the organic elements of the rest of the chair.

patio chair

Hi - I really like your patio chair, the detail is great. I would like to make some outdoor furniture but want to keep the irregularities of blackened steel. I am having difficulty finding a clear protective coat to prevent rusting that will not interfere with the organic look of the steel. Do you have any suggestion?

Thanks,

Helena

details, details . . .

I got a brochure in the mail the other day, said Paula is going to demonstrate at the Northern MN Blacksmith's spring conference in April. It is held in a threshing show grounds that is right at the north entrance to Itasca State Park (Mississippi Headwaters) I guess she's branching out.

Their website is still behind, they still have the brochure for last year up. :-P

http://nmmetalsmiths.org/

but the location is the same.

Maybe Paula would like to fill us in on the particulars.

I hope to get down to Bloomington and see the furniture show.

uhuh
thanks Gene!

It's actually my first demo in front of other smiths... which makes me a bit nervous since most smiths probably know more than i do... i'll probably be the one learning from the audience...ANYWAY.... ya Gene, it would be wonderful if you made to the Bloomington show....would love to hear your opinion....thanks...
