  1. Thank you for sharing this wonderful women with us!
    While I have petty feelings of coveting her mig welder, I feel her description of the connection between her work and that of her ancestors is right on. This connection is vital to me in realizing that I am a small fragment of time, and it is a purpose to carry on work from my hands as those past.

    Love you, Maire!

  7. MJ - pretty wild video - or rather the wild work that ANU does - and I recognised your jewellery stand. You are right though creating the pieces is often the fun part - there is all the follow through - still it is always good to see the work getting out there. Go well. B

  8. i can where you find inspiration.. you both share a deep spiritual and zen like connection to your work (although i hope you tie your hair back when working with a torch)..
    someday i would like to have the time to work more in metal + fiber..
    hope all is well with you xo
