[TheForge] making for christmas

[terry l. ridder]

Hello;

I know Halloween is not even here and Thanksgiving is over a month a
way. The thoughts about Christmas and small presents have been popping
up for the last several weeks.

I am not a Luddite, but this year simpler is better.
nothing complicated.
A device to hold a woman's neck scarf together.
For this i imagine a brass or nickel oval perhaps even highly polished
aluminum with a matching pin. I am sure that such a device has a proper
name, I just do not know what it is.

Call it a clasp/brooch/frog.

Art Deco Bookends.
a small votive candle holder.
simple trivets

i have one request for a pair of celtic knot trivets.
Basically, a basket weave knot using two or more different metals. It
was suggested that perhaps brass and bronze or bronze and nickel. Using
a small diameter rod of each metal.
