I modeled these off gardenias, making them a unique standout from typical copper roses.
I'm team natural copper, myself, but what's your favorite- rainbow or shine?

Copper Quills
Copper quills are Metal Mixologist originals, and a bestseller from my solo days. They're especially popular as copper anniversary gifts and wedding accents. It's amazing what a scissor cut can do on sheet metal!
The Troll Hole
When I first started casting bronze at the smithy, I was informed we had a troll hole. I absolutely went in looking for trolls, and came up sorely empty handed. This was promptly remedied 😉
Meet Zen and Dundee, our sewer trolls, protectors of the realm, guardians of the smelter.
One ring to rule them all...
Damascus rings are a genuine team effort. Eitri crafts the damascus ingot, drills it out, and hands it off for me to turn into wedding bands.
Smush, Twist, and Torc It

One of my first assignments at the forge was viking style torc bracelets, and I spent a few days learning to crank them out consistently. Eventually I ended up using a lot of power hammer, a lot of wrench action, and a good whomping on the horn. These start out as 6" bars of 3/16th square rod.
