Paracord Crafting

Inspired by my friend Linus I took decided to indulge in a little paracord crafting. This is just a cheapo throwing knife, but with a little paracord it has become attractive and more useful.

The wrapping is in a Turk's Head knot. I admit I had to look at the instructions every couple of seconds to make sure I was doing it correctly.

New Jewelry

For a recent Dental Hygiene meeting in Casper I created a few pieces to be put in their fundraiser auction.

The first set is slices of copper pipe with held to a pin with a bead of melted silver. The earrings reminded me a lot of cherries.











The second piece is made from silver coated wire, brass coated beads and copper wire. I was told that this piece auctioned for over 150$.

Dreamcatcher update

I made a copper feather to add to the pipe dreams dreamcatcher

Pipe Dreams

So, for the longest time I wanted to use some salvaged pipe and wire and make a big dreamcatcher. I finally did just that and I really like the results. It's not quite done yet, I'm going to hang some pipe beads and etched copper feathers, but the main piece is finished.

Lately I've been working on a collection of pieces based on arrangements of circles. The circles are all sections of copper pipe that has been salvaged from here and there. My pieces were somewhat limited by the fact I had only certain sizes of pipe. Even so, there is still quite a bit of potential for further pieces with this collection, and when I happen to salvage other sizes of pipe I will get to see how the style of the pieces changes.
