Handmade Bronze

The Art of Francis Prachthauser

I woke up the other day with the image of this Mermaid Pin in my head and for a change, making it went smoothly. That is not always the case, but this time I had the luxury of a clear picture of what I was making. She is roughly 3" high and 4" wide, weighs about an ounce and a half and is made of Bronze. #mermaid #handmade #BronzeSmith #FlowedBronze

Just re designed the Fleur Dr Lis Barrette. It was a little too plain. #bronzesmith #barrette #fleurdelis #handmade #longhair #accessories

This Bronze & Copper belt pouch/box is designed to hook over my belt in addition to my standard leather pouch because everything in there ends up trapped beneath my keys! Or is roughly 4"x3"x3/4" and clips over the belt for easy removal. I'll post a pic in costume once we have an excuse to get dressed up again. www.handmadebronze.com #bronzesmith #belt pouch #handmade #Dragon #metalwork #metalart #welding

I listened to a podcast interview with #MikeRowe this week and found his admission that he could not concentrate lately reassuring. I suppose that I can't feel to bad that I'm not a better man than he is. I find that I'm not able to do much production work, but I can lose myself in more interesting projects. Total length on this knife is 12". The blade is Damascus, that I totally did not make because I think i Damascus steel is cool and the bronze work is, of course my own. I'm 90% pleased with it, so retail of $285. DM of you are interested. #bronzesmith #flowedbronze #knife #dragonknife #atheme #cosplay #handmade

This is a special order Dragon pin that I just finished. It took a little longer than I planned, but I'm happy with it. Size is roughly 4"wide. #bronzesmith #flowedbronze #dragonpin #penannular #handmade #bronze #dragon #dragonjewelry #shiney

It has not been a productive day. I need to think about my dysfunctional relationship with deadlines. There comes a point, however, when you gotta ride the horse in the direction it is going. And, of course I'm drinking a corona. #bronzesmith #quarantine #creativetomorrow #cigar #corona. #handmade #handmadebronze

I was having trouble concentrating on the project at hand so instead I made a cloak clasp. A piece of onyx between two bronze & copper dragons. It is 5 1/2" x 3" #bronzesmith #dragon #cloak #clasp #handmade #dragonjewelry #costume #cosplay #renaissancefestival #renfaire #renfest
