Hello fellow metal artists.

This is my first post on ArtMetal so I've sent an image along to establish some legitimacy as a silversmith. (Though not, admittedly, as a photographer, heh.)

I'm a student in Fredericton, New Brunswick who's been away from the bench for a few years and is just returning with the intent of making metalworking my career. I'd like to hear from people who make a living with their craft so we can start a dialog.

this is my entrance piece for the exhipition I talkt earlier about. the hole piece has been forged, raised and chased out of a single billet of mokume. metals are silver copper and brass
piece is 28 cm in diameter and about 17 cm high. general shape whas inspiren on a drop of water falling and bounching back

Below is a pic of a couple of copper pipe vases I'm working on for Christmas presents. One started with 8" section of copper pipe and the other started as 10" section of pipe and ended up being 7" tall and the other 9" tall. Started with 2" type L copper pipe.

Hello all,

Just wanted to post a couple pix of the pipe vase I have in progress. Just wanted to show the progress. Below is what it looks like so far. Also below is a pic of the stake used to create the pipe vase.
