| ©2017 Barry Smith - Tiny hammered funnel shape on rust |
I was not greatly motivated today to do creative work - there has been a lot on over the last little while; Fiona and I have both been a little ill; and it was extremely hot.
But a look around my metal hammering bench revealed a number of bits and pieces I had sweated off various objects. I kept them because I thought they would make interesting funnel shapes when hammered.

The metal, hammer and stake called me so I decided to give them a go by working at the bench inside the garage-studio with the fan on. They hammered up well.

The beauty however is drawn forth on the grinding polishing bench. Against the rust of the rust bench the true beauty of the shapes, silver-plate and the hammer marks show forth.

I think a cold glass of something white is required tonight.
