Been looking at options for advertising my work. Trying to make sales. Especially trying to get my name out there and get people looking at my work. More people I can expose to my craft the better. :)

This is one of my more recent sculptures. An Iron Phoenix, set against swirling flames carved from old saw blades.
The phoenix is crafted from 18gauge steel and cold worked using hammer, anvil, and assorted hand tools.

[b]Neoclassical Feminine Ornamental Jewelry of the Greek Golden Age[/b]

Legamin — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 18:20:06 -0500

Where has all the beautiful neoclassical 'art' jewelry gone? No, I don't mean from the last century or two, but the techniques and eye pleasing results of work that not just anyone knows how to make anymore? Greek golden age neoclassical art jewelry is a very slim catagory these days. The art is nearly lost and the techniques are not shared openly enough to bring it back from the brink. What I personally think is worst...is that everything from shapes to shapelessness, blobs and empty shells of metal both precious and non are passing for fine art and begging for understanding and meaning when, like a poem, it is really only there for the very few.
