Art Metal Pets

New to blogging

I am new to blogging and very interested in learning more as I really don't know what I'm doing. This is my first attempt and I'm learning as I go. I have done this section a number of times as I look into another area and then when I go back everything I've entered has disappeared. Hopefully this time it will work correctly. I am looking for some helpful hints that will assist me with this (don't get technical). I am also fairly new in the metal art business, I design the art and run the business, my husband cuts and finishes our art. I am looking for a serious mentor to assist me in learning how to market, etc, a new business and hopefully miss some common pitfalls that I may not know about as yet.

The Kraken (front view)

This piece is very difficult to photograph. It is quite impossible to present the 3D aspect of the whole piece in only one shot, so there it is, in three different pictures.

The Kraken as a pendant

In this picture, you can see how it can be worn as a pendant. The leather cord gives it some character, consistent with the pirate aspect.

The legendary Kraken is a wearable sculpture, made of crocheted and knitted 14K gold filled wire. It is holding a pirate ship in its arms, sinking it. The ship has been crocheted with sterling silver wire, and the deck has been woven in the same material, then heavily oxydized.
