I have yet to blog about a forged piece, and that is probably because I don’t know much about forging nor do I know anyone who makes forged jewelry. But I stumbled across this piece and many other really exciting pieces by Leonfang on Flickr and it sure made me want to learn and see more.
I love the fluidity of these pieces and the naturalistic inspiration for her work.
My boyfriend (and thus, tangentally, I) have been getting into smithing a lot lately- specifically bladesmithing, with an upcycled forge and soon, homemade salt pots (which will hopefully not explode and kill us all). Maybe I’ll have to give forged jewelry a try!
