Another area with endless possibilities is vessels. Forging bowls is one of my favorite metalsmithing tasks because, once again, you never know where you're going to end up! I can have a design in mind, but as the metal forms, so often it takes on a life of its own and seems to become what it wants with my help rather than simply reacting to my hammer blows like a purely inanimate object. |

I'm a huge dog fan, so it was pretty much a given that I would end up making "dog jewelry" at some point! My dog collars are made from recycled leather belts with various bead, button and other found object accoutrements. |

Additionally, in most cases the belt design allows me to add a hand-forged brass D-ring for attaching tags and a leash. Naturally, your dog is going to want to go out on the town to show off his new bling! |
