I am working on my first project and I am pretty happy with the way it is turning out. The large copper spiral that is an anticlastic form is coming along nicely. I have reached a point in forming where I need to make a wooden forming depression that is larger than the current one I am using. The spiral form is too wide on the one end for the smaller stake so I will have to create a curve in a piece of wood that will work for what I need. I would like to finish the spiral form within the next two weeks so I can create the pin that will rest inside of the spiral. After that it is on to the next project! Progress shots to come...

I am currently working on one of my projects that consists of both synclastic and anticlastic forming. It is a spiral form that will hold a pin with an opal stone set in the center. I based my idea on a bird's nest and want to portray the feeling of comfort and containment. Still in the beginning stages but I am happy with the progress thus far.
