Video Idea

Hi, I would like to thank all of my new followers for following my blog and for all the great comments that you have left. Most of you have watched my video clip that my youngest son Brian put together for me, and if you haven't seen it yet I would like to invite you to watch it,my son done a great job putting it together. We are just starting out and learning how to work with YouTube videos, we plan on making some how to videos on blacksmithing and how we make some of our items, one of the videos I would like to make first will be one of how I make my steel Rose Bud with step by step instructions and offer the Rose Bud kits that I make for sale in my etsy shop for other people to purchase and be able to make there own steel rose buds.

Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think about this idea, I would appreciate any feedback you may have.

Thanks, Darryl

ETSY FRONT PAGE (GINKO LEAF DISH)

Well I was checking my stats on Google Analytics this morning and seen that I had a lot of views in my etsy shop yesterday and was not sure why,so I done some searching around and found out that my Ginko Leaf Dish was featured on the front page of etsy on Fri. 1-30-09. This is a great honor for me to be on the front page of etsy again, this makes the 5th time that I know of that I have made the front page. I really love Google Analytics, I might not have known I made the the front page if I didn't have it on my etsy shop. Thanks Etsy!!

Yin Yang Necklace

Here is my new Yin Yang Necklace that I put in my Etsy Shop.

The meaning of Yin-Yang

This Symbol(Yin-Yang) represents the ancient Chinese understanding of how things work. The outer circle represents "everything", while the black and white shapes within the circle represent the interaction of two energies, called "yin" (black) and "yang" (white), which cause everything to happen. They are not completely black or white, just as things in life are not completely black or white, and they cannot exist without each other.
While "yin" would be dark, passive, downward, cold, contracting, and weak, "yang" would be bright, active, upward, hot, expanding, and strong. The shape of the yin and yang sections of the symbol, actually gives you a sense of the continual movement of these two energies, yin to yang and yang to yin, causing everything to happen: just as things expand and contract, and temperature changes from hot to cold.
