One of my long time friends Tano Welch asked me last week to make him a piece of jewelry to wear for his reunion in Trinadad Colorado. The Trinadad Miners as their called is a school from an area with a rich mining history and the pick and shovel seemed to fit. After hand fabricating the piece I decided to add a bail that resembled some of the ladel hooks used in the CF&I Steel Mill where my dad worked his entire career. A lot of the mining in Trinadad was associated with CF&I Steel and I thought it would be a fitting touch.

One of the great things that I get to do on almost a daily basis is make someones day special. A  special friend of mine asked me to create a gift for a very special relative of his. He gave me some info about this person and part of that was that he was a member of the Elks Lodge. What a great organization and lots of history. I decided to do an overlay, which is metal overlayed on top of metal. This technique is one of my favorites and as you can see the results were outstanding.
