Now that I am back to work with my paying job I am having to refuse the muse when she calls. This is a bit hard as she is ever so seductive and I love being with her. I do find that time flies when I am working with my hands and making interesting art. My next two lamps are still being worked on and i will post pics once i get them further along. Seems I am now having to figure out my torch, with some exemplary help from a couple of friends. Thanks Craig and Ric!!!

Torches are a fantastic tool when working with metal but they scare the living bejeses out of me. I am finally ok with starting up my oxy acetylene with the uber safe min top tanks. Today something went pop and a high squeal that i have never heard before. I think I have put in a good 80 hours with my current set up and never had this happen so it has freaked me out. any how, here are pics of what i have made before my fright happened.

I am thinking about painting some silver and black on this one. taking pictures and distorting the piece gives it an interesting new view.
