| Mom's Rose & Hand Forged Flowers |
My Mother was born on the first day of spring, so, I
thought it fitting that I should make her a hand
forged rose on her birthday this year.

The hand forged rose takes hours to make. It begins with the
texturing of each petal and ends with the perfect rose. For years
botanist's have tried to make a blue rose and have failed to do so,
however, the blacksmith with the magic he puts into the metal with
each blow of the hammer has succeeded.
Each rose measures 13" long and can be made with 1, 2, 3, or 5 leaves
Prices range from $85.00 to $200.00

I hand forged these Calla Lilies and then turned them over to artist Patricia
Bentley who hand painted them using guilder's paste. I have worked very hard
to make them look as close to the real flower as possible including creating a
tool that adds texture to the stamen to make it look like it has pollen on it.
$125.00 each
