re: PBS series Craft in America interviews artists in their studios

So far I would have to vote for Tom Joyce, blacksmith. I met Tom and his apprentices that are shown in this program, a few years ago in NM. He is a very gentle man, gifted with artistic ability one can only dream of. His work is not half finished, nor produced to just fill the market place with his work but to create well crafted pieces of art that are enjoyable to own.

Good points, you guys. :) Glad to hear I'm not the only one who gets a little nervous thinking about 100 pounds of metal flying through the air! I'm thinking I'd need a MUCH longer fuse, and maybe a concrete bunker if I were ever to try something this crazy. Even then...maybe not.

Addie, It is a good thing that you have the distance of YouTube between you and the anvil shooter. While it is a lot of fun to make things go BOOM! it is still somewhat dangerous. There have been instances of anvils cracking. The problem is not so much with the wrought iron anvils as with the cast iron ones. Also nobody is happy with just a 10' jump in the air so it gets to be how high can I get it to go thing, you know how boys are? If you don't have male children just wait until you have them, then the fun begins.

My first thought was of the danger. How do you prevent injury from a flying anvil — gloves? goggles? suit of armor? But that was cool to watch, nonetheless.

Hi Mimi,

Glad to hear that you'd like to upload some of your work! Let's see if we can't get you started.

First off, your account needs to be updated, if it isn't already. At the top-right of our Web page, next to where it says "Welcome __your name__" you'll see an "Account" link. Follow that to make sure that your subscription info is up to date.

Next, once our Web site knows that you're a subscriber, visit our Subscriber Gallery. Click on the specific material gallery you'd like to upload your work to (enamel, wire, polymer, etc.). Scroll down a bit, and on the right is a box labeled "Common Tasks." Within that box is a link that says "Add picture." Click on that and the rest should be pretty simple.

We look forward to seeing your work in our galleries!

Best of luck,

~Addie~

I'm a subscriber and registered today.

I can't find a link or the exact instructions of uploading a photo.

How do I upload a photo to the gallery?

"A Walk in the Park" is a really neat mini sculpture. Thanks for picking it. Such a fun work of art.

Hi Hazel

I love the new editors picks and am so honored to be featured! I enjoy browsing the members galleries and think it is such a great resource. I missed the spiderweb ring, what an amazing piece am glad you brought it to our attention. Those adorable little monsters I was just admiring the other day.

Thanks again for the feature and I will definitely check in each Friday for more eye candy.

People aren't appreciating the most significant part of these photos--only 7 HOURS!--I would have been lucky with 7 weeks or 7 months or 7.....
