Hello facefriends. Not posted in a while and not exactly my usual style of work but heres a tiara iv made for my friends nicola and moore's wedding on friday. Horseshoe nails (cheers bossy) soldered to a strip of silver solder iv had for about 11 years (cheers Adrian Wood Artist Blacksmiths, i finally used it) bound in red copper wire.
Went for a disney villain theme. Im strangely happy with it. Nice to be working with something other than vinyl for a change. Hopefully post somemore work soon.

Had a wonderful time at Beamish museum this weekend performing demonstrations in the heritage craft fair. Disappointment on saturday with my bellows splitting but made up for it today :) photos to come soon. Big shout out to Mr Billy Moore your friendly local farrier for lending me his gas forge at such short notice last night. You, Sir, are a life saver.
Look out for me working in home farm forge at beamish on the odd saturday starting in a few weeks.
