Alix, there is something really wonderful about using fire to shape
metal!!! As a lover of Raku and a silversmith, I am bitten by the fire
bug as well. ALways loved campfires, too. lol. Glad to hear you are
loving your blacksmithing. You might thnk about going to Arrowmont
school of crafts for a few weeks this summer to do it! It's an awesome
place.
