Happy Veteran's Day! ❤❤❤

I just love this hunk of Ocean Jasper. 💖

So this horse walks into a bar...

Happy Monday! In honor of Columbus Day I'm exploring the effects of no-mix grout packed into brass domes. This stuff is the consistency of whipped cream cheese (yum!!), creates nice texture, takes green food coloring well (lol) and seems to be a good base

"I'd need a beer too if I had to clean THIS bench." Nice peanut gallery I'm running. Contrary to popular belief, metal is NOT an inanimate object. Lol
SmashFire Designs:
Changing gears a little tonight. In my beading studio and looking forward to wrangling some tie wire. Had this handy little contraption for months now and finally getting a chance to play with it. :-)
SmashFire Designs:
Soldered down pretty nicely. Surprisingly didn't melt any of these figures! Yeehaw. Lol. :-)
SmashFire Designs:
Last day in Cape May...
SmashFire Designs:
Getting ready to send these 2 cuties off to new homes. :-)
SmashFire Designs:
Diggin' my new bench pin. Lots o' sawing on tap for this fine Monday. :-)
SmashFire Designs:
How come I never knew about this stuff? Lol. Cut off a saw blade length and stick it in your jeweler's saw to get into really tight places. Various grits and sizes. :-)
SmashFire Designs:
Seahorse pendant on the bench :-)
SmashFire Designs:
A menagerie of hooligans. 😮💀😀
SmashFire Designs:
The creatures are out tonight! Loving the glossy black powder coat... :-)
SmashFire Designs:
7 lbs of nice luscious dark annealed rebar tie wire landed in my shopping cart this morning. Oh the fun I can have with that! :-)

The SmashFire girl logo getting finished up yesterday by the incredibly talented Darren Brown. Once healed will post pics because these don't do it justice at all! #tattoosbydarrenbrown #boulevardelectrictattooparlor

A heartfelt diversion at the bench today. 9-11-2001
SmashFire Designs:
Painting with fire. No filter whatsoever on this one. ;-)
SmashFire Designs:
View from the office today. 😍
SmashFire Designs:
A day full of sawing out copper shapes in a 98 degree workshop beats the hell out of sitting behind a desk any day. 💜💚😃. Now to clean 'em up, solder some bails and do some powdercoating.
SmashFire Designs:
Sawing out cats today. Soon to be smothered in black glossy powdercoat :-)
SmashFire Designs:
First break all day. Vending and hot rods. Elevator ride up to the top. Whee!!!
SmashFire Designs:
Odd powdercoated outcome. This pink is the only color I've tried thus far thats busts my balls. (if I had them lol). Kinda diggin' it though..?
SmashFire Designs:
Waah... anxiety is spilling your PBR while cleaning your bench. Then you realize... when wiping everything up the alcohol is cleaning the drill press base and luckily there were no drill bits in the case. #priceless# lol
SmashFire Designs:
Since I wasn't allowed to buy cabochons at Bead Fest yesterday in Philly because I had a chaperone who thinks my 6 trays full is enough lol, I picked up a few other goodies such as metal stamps, Superman watch face inserts, a few ceramic pieces, wooden n

Finally getting around to posting this. Loving my new print by Girl Friday Paper Arts. Check out her out! :-)
SmashFire Designs:
Got some pretty awesome torch fired patina going on here with this fold. Still waiting to find some kind of lacquer/sealant that will preserve this finish without muddying and ruining. Wonder if clear powdercoating would work? Haven't tried that avenue ye
SmashFire Designs:
Haven't been foldforming in awhile. Forgot how loud it is and how much work it is to move this much metal lol. #imrusty
SmashFire Designs:
Houseguest. Dogs outnumber people here now. Lol
