Bean - awesome work- I know a great number of fur trade era interpreters who would love to see your work.
Sapp - my sister collects larger lamps, but goes to all the big auctions in nebraska and Wyoming - should I have her keep an eye out for you? she always gets screaming deals, and I mean pennies on the dollar deals.
Hobbies -
Millinery- not so much a hobby as a side job, but since i don't make a living wage at it, I guess we must call it a hobby.
History - same as above.
Crochet - making a 12 point star afgan right now, usually I make toys.
Sewing, weaving, spinning, painting - usually ceramics or wood shapes, embroidery, ribbon embroidery, cross stitch, wandering through old cemeteries, photography. i would like to learn how to make lampwork beads, but that will have to wait for now.
no RR spikes are pretty soft material in that they wanted them to bend if the track shifted. There is not enough carbon in them to use on anything like skinning. But they can rip open an envelope in a heartbeat!
I am part of a family business. The studio is in pine junction and we do high end custom architectural iron work mostly in summit county. I have some items in the River Canyon Gallery as well and sell items through my website and etsy.
