I call this one Four Legged Stool. It’s a slight variation in the design theme I’ve been enjoying lately. Instead of using sheet metal for the top I started with a solid chinch of metal and gradually hammered and squished it down and drew it out to the size it is now. It’s so much more lovely than plane sheet metal! And takes a lot more time and effort to make too… I’d love to do bigger pieces the same way, but I need a bigger forge and a bigger hammer… 🤔 . . #forged #handmade #blacksmith #art #design #craft #metalwork #bronze #steel #iron #brazing #riveted #industrialdesign #furnituredesign #texture #color #object #fire #productdesign #productphotography https://www.instagram.com/p/CeHGce3JHCl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I forged this out of about 4” of 2” diameter round stock. Its totally unnecessary, I could have just used sheet metal like I’ve been doing, but I do love it, it’s satisfying. You don’t get the weight and texture and edge shape in sheet metal though... If you think about it, blacksmithing is pretty unnecessary, maybe even art making is unnecessary. But art making has existed almost as long as humans have, like in cave paintings and shit. So maybe art making is intrinsically necessary to being human. So maybe blacksmith is, which means this dumb piece of metal is. For me at least. #importantthoughts . . #art #blacksmith #metalwork #forged #forgingtexture #humanhistory #artmaking #craft #makethings #handmade #metal #steel #flat #squishy #artthoughts https://www.instagram.com/p/Cdg5io0v8QB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Appreciation post for @dreadfool_art. I commissioned this bolo tie from Wyatt first because I LOVE his work, and second because I wanted a good luck charm for my thesis show, which was last week. The design, by Wyatt is based on our shared love of the Walter Farley books, specifically my favorite, The Island Stallion’s Fury. I’m so grateful to Wyatt for making this for me 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Final photo by @jerryntherest #appreciate #goodluckcharm #walterfarley #fury #commission #custommade #champleve #metalwork #wearableart #bolotie #horses #books #talisman https://www.instagram.com/p/CcOrd00PbAB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Some metal things I made a while back are lookin real nice and moody out in my backyard right now. Though they are looking much more fall like than winter… Just more of the beauty of Southern California 😉🌞 ❄️🍂☠️🍁

Made this set of stainless cooking tools as a commission for my client to give to the chef in their life! I like how they came out. The spoon especially is appealing to me shape wise… do you have a favorite? #toolscooking #commission #chef #handmade #gift #stainlesssteel #custom #craft #art #design #shapes #functional #forged #blacksmith #forging https://www.instagram.com/p/CYKoXUsPzVN/?utm_medium=tumblr

Day one of Desert Project filming. @hey.its.pika is the best actor and @miss_ma.riah_ is the best makup/costume designer that has ever existed ever. Infinite thanks to @searchlightmysteryranch for providing the location. All these images are by @miss_ma.riah_ cuz I was too busy using like three other cameras for video. I hope one of them gets something good! 😅🤞 Missing the other sibs @justjazziness and @joshthewonder 💕💕💕 #wip #cinefilm #8mm #super8 #art #videoart #maybe #costume #design #set #pretendingtobeadirector #desert #joshuatrees #siblings #collaboration https://www.instagram.com/p/CXWxdSOvb19/?utm_medium=tumblr
