Custom Made by LoraLeeArtist Something fragile hammered by forces unkind, becomes something strong and but delicate in appearance. A survivor. I am a survivor. This anvil I beat upon has absorbed many an angry thought or hurt heart. It's carried me thru some dark times in my life. Instead of curling up and giving up. I beat my way thru it. I used that anger and that hurt to hammer out beautiful and fragile things. And when it was finished, I didn't see the anger and pain. I saw a beautiful thing standing before me. Full of potential and strength. This anvil, being a metalsmith, has healed a lifetime of hurt and pain. I've done a lot of thinking here, and sometimes a lot of feeling. Working thru emotions and letting them loose in a constructive way. This life path I am on is one I am truly happy to be traveling. I am blessed to do something I love, even in times like now where sales are slim. I had to remind myself that I create because I love it and sell it as an after thought. I didn't start out with this as a business. It became a business because people loved what I made and wanted it. That is where I am today. I am creating for the joy of it, the love of it, the healing process it provides. That is how I survive and thrive in life. Following the path of joy, love and passion.
