About Me

So I'm walking my twenty-third trip around the sun. I am an artist, I just happen to work with slightly more costly materials than most. I have quite possibly the three coolest cats ever they go by the names Sprokette, Garbanzo and Tesselation. I am drawn to the sound of falling water and I cross my rivers barefoot. I am a compulsive creator and I brew my own beer. I am a gracious host. I collect beautiful moments. I have a staggering respect for people who take the initiative to shape and sculpt the world they live in to be the life they want. I want to put beauty back in the world.

My Interests

Jewlery design, silversmithing, goldsmithing, nature, black smithing, blade smithing, religion, philosophy, Volvos, politics, conservation, photography, yoga, homebrewing, living an orgainc lifestyle, and I piddle in a bit of everything else.

I'd like to meet:

Good people, creators, and world sculptors. If the acronyms Y.O.U. or N.G.U. mean anything to you, or if you've ever heard of the Unity movement you best be dropping me a line. Check out my other myspace page. http://www.myspace.com/benhaileymetalsmith
