Scrapfest 2014

Description:IRON IN THE BLOOD
The goal of our project was simply to have fun, and showcase the transformation of scrap into decorative elements using heat and hammer - a 100lb power hammer to be exact! After all, we are a team of blacksmiths.
The creativity and collaboration this year was truly exciting. The team knew going into collection day that we wanted to do a kinetic piece. We also wanted to utilize solid steel that we could form into something artistic, though designs would be determined after we found such pieces.

Success. We present: Evil Bunny's Lair
The spark for this piece was the aluminum letter 'R', lying on the floor inverted to resemble bunny ears. From there the ideas flowed (beauty from trash piles) and changed (Easter Bunny-ish)…and took a darker tone (Evil Bunny lair). His abode is an eclectic mix of wind-powered technology, and natural briars to protect him from predators. It is a display of contrasts; bright vs. dark, smooth vs. rough, organic vs. geometric, static vs. kinetic, cuddly vs. dangerous. It's this dichotomy, and our attention to detail, that makes this piece so visually engaging.

Who doesn't love a bunny… an evil bunny?!

Scrapfest 2012 - Iron in the Blood

Scrapfest2012 sneak preview

Dace K-13 Metal Artist has entered Old Town’s Scrapfest for the 3rd year in a row.  This father/son team is named “Iron in the Blood”.  Iron in the Blood has worked day and night for the last two weeks with one day left before the sculpture needs to be installed in Old Town. It’s hammer time! No pun intended. During the Festival of the Sun and Moon the judging, bidding, and People Choice Award for Scrapfest will take place.  There has been lots of sweat and tears but fortunately NO BLOOD except in the name! One never knows when working with metal and fire.

Below is a sneak peak of what you will see at the Scrapfest on Friday and Saturday (June 22nd/23^rd). Please come and admire “Iron in the Blood”s hard work. Of course we would also appreciate a peoples choice VOTE and a bid. The proceeds from the Scrapfest competition will be donated to the Old Town Commercial Association (OTCA)!
