Christmas and Weekly Workings

The results of Christmas are in!

Made for my Uncle out of the great wire kumihimo:


A lanyard made out of the wire kumihimo. Many of you will remember this from my post a couple weeks back. A similar work would cost about $25


For my Aunt, Cousin, and 2 friends:



 
 Chain and lampwork bead necklaces. I borrowed the idea from a friend of mine and the necklaces are now for sale on here ^^

These cost for 3 beads  $23.50
or for 5 beads $33.50

The last two weeks or so I've been working on new lampwork beads:


 For the SCA folks out there these were given to the Princesses of An Tir at 12th Night.
 All of these beads are examples of what I can do, Most of these are what I would consider regular size beads.












 Above is another example of a chain necklace. This one was done as a gift. Similar are available for purchase.

Last night I completed about 5 more, they will be going towards a full necklace.

An Introduction!

Hello! So, I think it’s time to introduce the other half of Fire Inspired! My name is Rick, and I am the Father of the father/daughter art experience!
I am an Artisan and was convinced by Rowen to come into this for fun! I figured it would be good to share the results of some of the skills I have learned over the years with others.
I am a long-time participant in the Society for Creative Anachronism, and through that participation, have learned to do many things over the years. Hand made jewelry design, chainmaille jewelry, Norse wire-weaving, some woodworking, a little woodcarving now and then, and have even tried my hand at lamp worked beads! I willingly teach everything I have learned to the best of my ability, and am very happy when my students surpass my skills!
Watch over the coming weeks, examples of my work will be posted here to the site, and similar works are available on a commission basis.
Thank you for your interest in our efforts!
Rick

 Photography:

Trappings Photography Series:
My series is about the various things that trap people in society and the perceptions of ourselves and other people. I will post a selection of the most popular pieces of the series. These was designed as a part of a 12 part series following the stereotypes that trap us.

Each print is 8x10 high quality photograph and is $19.93
Mangled Faith:
This is one of the most popular pieces from the series. It's about the trappings of religion.  A statement on people's reaction to other faiths, it's perfect for an office or church to inspire common sense and a sense of cooperation and coexistence.
Book Wormy:
One of my favorites of the series. This one is about how other people's categories and stereo-types can trap us. This one is perfect for book-worms with more under the surface. This would be wonderful in a home office or reading room to set the mood just right


Poison Perception:

This is, by far, the most popular piece of them all. This is about dealing with other people's perceptions of oneself and the trapping nature of other people's opinions. This would make a powerful statement in any home or office setting serving to remind people that the only limits are those we put on ourselves

Which Print?


There will be more to follow!
