Scrapfest 2015 (Spartan Warrior)

Another Scrapfest build is in the history book . My TEAM "Iron in the blood" submitted the "Spartan Warrior" shown below. It was a lot of hot forging work, but the end result was worth it.

Thank you team mates. Derrick Bliss from Hot Fire Forge and David K13!

Visit Old Town in July 17th and 17th and vote for "Iron in the Blood" "Spartan Warrior" for people's choice award.

Second sculpture in Elk Rapids

A little slow on the uptake,  but "On the Ledge" has been installed - the second of my creations up north. I now have a piece anchoring both ends of the park. Beautiful place.... Elk Rapids Day Park.   If you are up vacationing visit the park and peek at my sculptures, of coarse.

My buddy, Hot Fire Forge: Derrick Bliss, best get his a$$ in shape because we got some custom railings to do this weekend! Jobs from the Home & Garden show are still trickling in. Want one of your own? Let me know.

Aside: Don't let me fool ya, I'm going to be the one napping while he's not looking...

Railings

Measured a set of interior railings with a handrail last night. Replacing the dated wood with custom iron that is going to enhance this beautiful contemporary house. Stay tuned...

Old Glory

Belt Buckle: Old Glory - SOLD at Home & Garden Show. Interested in having a buckle for yourself or a loved one? Let me know.
Custom is Cool!

Handrails

Well, the jobs are trickling in from our presence at the Lansing Home & Garden show. Handrails... straight and curved, simple and beautiful. Other leads are developing too, so stay tuned.

Who's going to Lansing Home & Garden Show?

Yikes, it looks official. This is really happening!

The countdown is on...one week until the Lansing Home & Garden Show. See you there?

Life with an artist

Life with an artist: it may be the dinner table (see earlier post) or that space-we-just-created-by-moving-the-couch. When in need of a warm place to create, any space will do. :)

Home and Garden Show

Wanna see more??

You'll have to visit my booth at the upcoming Lansing Home and Garden show - March 19-22 at the MSU Pavilion.

Awards

In addition to creating the Valentine lily that weekend, I knocked out three more awards... taking over the dinner table one night to finish them. Lots of drilling holes and grinding, but the end product always makes it worth it!

Valentines for the lady(s)

Valentine for the lady(s) in my life. My wife is the beautiful lily in full bloom, and the buds are the daughters she gave me. Love em all!
[More pics soon]

We make key fobs too

Here is the final result. Two key fobs included. Pretty snazzy, huh?
