Possibly the most satisfying part of being an artist is when another artist appreciates your work.
I met glass artist @dickinsonglass at this year’s kings_mountain_art_fair where he fell in love with a Nakiri similar to this one and had to have one for himself.

"...Newsom has vetoed our menopause bill, not one but two years in a row. But that's OK, because he's not going to be governor forever. And with the way he's overlooked women, half the population, by devaluing us in midlife, he probably should not be our next president either."

I just finished this spectacular pair for a repeat client. Their first Alma piece was a “Starry Night” Carolina Shucker.
The blades each feature a core of 26c3 Carbon Steel clad in beautiful Wrought Iron that’s at least 100yrs old.

Next week the House E&C Committee is looking to run something of a shock and awe campaign, debating at least 19 bills that they say are related to "protecting kids online." Most of which are actually about censorship and control. Don't buy the framing. It's always the same damn thing.
