[TheForge] new anvils ring

[Fiorini & Skiles]

Those pieces look very well made, very good handle on technique and design.
It is nice to see work which is both creative and well crafted.   The ice
melting part is rather unnecessary, but it lets the piece be sculpture too,
which lets him exhibit the work in more shows & galleries.

I like color pictures, especially in the dragon plaza, because the tiles are
colorful.  I agree it is not always necessary for ironwork.

black and white. we all know what iron looks like and the color is
distracting to me. re dragon plaza.
