When you're making roses and get your needle nose pliers a little too hot!

Back to the tedious work!

Definitely been wayyyyyyyy toooooo hot to do any blacksmithing this Summer. I finally got some petal discs cut for roses. So I'm starting to work on the stems I started preparing this Spring. Might not be next week but I'll definitely make a couple of the Tractor Supply Farmer's Markets and I'm hoping to do at least one of the ones at The Landing. Stay hydrated my friends!

Textured and shaped a bunch of stems for roses today. Next step is to thread them and wrap them in barbed wire.

Some pieces are made with skill. Others are made with heart. The roses I was honored to create for this memorial carried something far deeper — remembrance, love, and the lasting memory of two young lives taken far too soon in a tragic four-wheeler accident several years ago.

Every rose was shaped with quiet respect for the families, the friends, and the memories left behind. Though time has passed, the love for these two young ladies has never faded. These roses were more than metal and craftsmanship; they were symbols of lives that continue to be remembered, cherished, and missed by everyone who knew them.

It was truly an honor and privilege to be asked to create something meaningful for a memorial that stands not only for loss, but also for love, remembrance, and the enduring strength of community.

This is my second donation to Glendive Medical Centers Grill and Chill. Have I mentioned how tedious these things are to make? But at the same time very satisfying!

Cross made from 1 inch square stock. This is one of my donations to the Glendive Medical Center Grill & Chill. This is likely the last one of these big buggers I'll make until this Fall when the temps drop again. Man, they throw off a lot of heat!

Tried a new technique today called brassing. I like it!
