Rob and Formidable Silver Horse
Yay to Rob! After 2 years Rob has finished his Pull String Horse and it was well worth the wait!
…Ok, it didn’t take the entire 2 years to finish but Rob did start it two years ago and finished it just recently. This sterling horse with moving legs was quite a challenge for a first time Silversmith (& Lost Wax) student, it is always easy to imagine a complicated project but execution is another thing all together. Rob must have tried to put this horse together at least 5 time before he decided to go with square pins instead of round, what a breakthrough that was. Hopefully Rob will make more of these little gems ;)
Your perseverance paid off, congratulations Rob!
It has been so long since my last post. September is always busy in the Queen West neighbourhood and November and December are insane as usual. I am currently on a long break, December 25th through to January 5th, and it is wonderful. Looking forward to 2008, this January our busy little studio will be jam packed full of classes and we are already booking into March!
