Andrew: "My smithing skills with fine silver this year have definitely grown. I can make hand-forged chain, simple earrings, and strip construction pendants. I use my torches to fuse my metal prior to final forging, sanding, and polishing. Just look at my wall for some examples. I use only local Sunshine Mine silver to create them. I have not sold any yet, only given away some as presents. I would like to know if I should offer any next year at Pinehurst Days or other craft fairs. Please 'like' this post, and that will give me some idea of how many to make. Each person who 'likes' my post I will give special consideration in pricing should I happen to have anything to present next year. If anyone has suggestions for things to make, please comment so I can seriously consider them. I would so much love to create those one of a kind, special items, for that person your really care about, even should that be yourself! I put the thought of all that I love into all that I make. Please help me have a successful survey. I so much want to become a resident artist for this area. This has also been posted to Silver Valley Classifieds. Thank you all!"
