I've made a few one of a kind items lately, ranging from owls to a space marine wall hanging. A couple of these were commissioned, while others are just made on a whim. It's challenging but interesting to push myself to create something unique. These items make great gifts and with Christmas around the corner now's a great time for forward planning and getting something for that special someone. If you have something special in mind, contact me and I'll see what I can do to make your idea come to life.

I had an unusual request the other day from someone who wanted an ornamental copper face mask for someone who has been shielding, to give them a bit of a laugh and as something to look back on in years to come.

It's often frustrating!  Here are some more progress pictures and the finished sculpture.

Work in progress

I've been working on a barn owl sculpture. It's slow progress as I've been working around other projects. Each 'feather' has been individually brazed in place and it's slowly taking shape. Here are some photos of the work in progress from the sketch, skeletal frame to the fleshing out.
