I would hardly call myself a Mistress of the Forge! Most of my work is in smaller pieces, made from silver or copper. The knife is the result of a week-long class I took at Penland School of Crafts while still in college. Quite an awesome experience and thank you for the compliment.

And I totally agree with what you say about writing about what is in your mind instead of what you *think* should be.

Hi TrinaMb, your comment reminded me of when working in ceramics, the scraps of one piece are often used to build another. I love the thought of looking at the shavings as an opportunity for improvement. Thanks for your comment :)

Thanks so much for your kind words, Janice. Your sharpening pencils example is also a perfect one. I have several pieces of art that are just too overdone but the knife is one of the few that I feel is just right. It was definitely a learning lesson!
