I keep bees, and muse on them some; I will be making more bee jewelry, but I do have honey if you’re interested. $25 per pint for some of famed Vermont’s best honey, with a lovely citrus note. Shipping is $10 for the US. Go to the Purchase page and just put “Honey” in the Item Description. Feel free to ask any questions!
I will be offering classes from my studio as well as looking for opportunities to teach jewelry or bladesmithing. Great technique subjects would be lost wax / sand casting, pattern welding / damascus or bladesmithing. I have taught at Shelburne Craft School, Peter’s Valley Craft School, New England School of Metalwork, and U-32 High School art & jewelry. Check put the Classes section in the links, and feel free to inquire.
Several Sigewif / Melissae bee pendants in bronze & amber on the Available page. More bee jewelry coming, and I’m applying for one of the local farmer’s markets this year for honey, Summer splits, queens, candles & of course, jewelry & some fancy hive tools & kitchen blades. X fingers.
Cleaned up & organized the shop, for the benefit of mind, body and spirit. Putting a shop tour with photos up here on the website, and making a video for Patreon.
Had to take a bit of a social media break. Many bureaucratic fiascoes, Winter doldrums, website woes and not the least, quite an argument with my propane company, which ended with the state attorney general sending the local office a very satisfying nasty-gram on my behalf. Hark! For tomorrow I should finally be getting a new propane tank and a new supplier. In the meantime I now have gold, silver and steel on hand. The forge shall arise again.
Getting ready to rivet up this lovely drinking horn in silver & opals… it gets a walnut stand and a few more silver bits, but we’re honing in.

Here’s a falcata I finished recently. A falcata is an Iberian-Celt short sword, often featuring zoomorphic hilts, though not, perhaps, the elusive tiger. More pics in the Sword Gallery.
Lining up a drinking horn. I can do it in bronze for $450, silver for $900, and could look into gold plating either metal as well. Would be fun! Can do boar, raven, Urnes beast, or custom finial. Let me know if you’re interested. Otherwise I’ll cast it up in bronze over the next week or two. You can email with inquiries on my Contact/Purchase page, where I can also take payments direct through the website.
