Red Hot Rose
By Any Other Name…
Almost a year after Lorelei Sims demonstrated her technique for forging roses,
I finally tried my hand at it. I enjoy creating these as each one is unique.
The patina is a hand-painted transparent dye with a clear-coat.

Blacksmith Crosses
Thanks Jerry!
It’s amazing all the things you can learn from the talent in our group. Jerry Achterberg showed me the magic of the Fredricks cross and I have been giving them to friends ever since.

A branding iron for a friend with the initials LAM. He displays it on his coffee table. What an honor!

Moo Horse
The client originally had a cow carved in the center of this large plaque which did not go with the theme.
I was commissioned to replace the cow with a metal image.
The cow was chiseled away to leave a place for the repousse’d mustang.
Latest fun project ~ kinetic steel sculpture.
