Rocky Mountain Silversmith

Last summer I fostered 6 kittens who were a wonderful bunch of fuzzy chaos. Sadly one of them died when he was about 9 weeks old form some sort of congenital disorder. They were my first fosters and my first kitten who didn't survive so it hit me pretty hard. This is his paw print in copper with patina. I think it came out nicely. #kittens #fosterkittens #silversmith #copper #pawprints https://www.instagram.com/p/CM-sKMrhsks/?igshid=1wgsjcp1qydof

When your piece of metal is bigger than your quench do you get a bigger bucket? NO! Just open the door and throw it in the snow! #winterjewelry #metal #copper #silversmith #prototyping https://www.instagram.com/p/B-A58Ukp50I/?igshid=1nrmbfllvg339
