Winter Wolf Forge

So we finally got everything moved to bend, mostly. We’ve still got two vehicles, half a dozen boxes, a table, and a few odds and ends to move tomorrow. Lots of work, and considering we used a 17ft standard lift box-van and a 6×12ft uhaul trailer, not to mention the front half of a goos-neck horse trailer and a truck cab, plus the entire empty space in my 65 mustang, a lot of stuff as well. Apparently we’re bigger packrats then we though, but considering the “donations” we got in the form of old towels and crock-pots from our parents, it’s not entirely our fault…

Good news is my metalsmithing (black and silversmithing combined) stuff filled a 2 car car port, so I have a lot of stuff to play with and get working. Can’t wait to have some shop stuff set-up and ready to go. Have to finish a feast set for a Chaos Wars 13 prize, a dutch oven lid-hook for Chris Teeter, one of the few people who supported my interest from the get-go, and I think I owe Heather a trowel since I broke hers yesterday, hah. Good projects, good practice.

On other notes. Late post, but I didn’t get accepted for Tidefest. Near as I can figure it was a combination of a few things. I think the rush to get a lot of stuff done dropped my submission quality on my third item, but also I didn’t tailor my submission selection to what I could have guessed about the judges, and instead picked submissions that would fit in the show. Unfortunately I guess that wasn’t the best plan. Either way, I’ll still be doing administration assistance with Crew Moss, so all is not lost. And with my new found freetime, I will try and apply to the Bend Street Fair, and see if I can get into that next spring.

Lot’s of work to do!
