    I find that odd with your fae logo. Sidhe, pronounced Shee, are the faerie folk of Celtic lore. :-D

    How about Skelly Sumph's Silverworks? Taken from a recent forum post. It struck me as being both clever, funny, and even memorable.

    Input?

    I used to do this sort of thing before I went to Seminary, so take this for what it's worth. I could probably write an epistle on why, but here it is...

    The best one I've seen so far is Dreadbelly Metalworks.

    It says who YOU are, what your business does or is about, is short and different enough to be memorable.

    I did logos and brand ID for years. You would be hard pressed to improve on that. The logo, of course, is important, but you were asking for the name.

    That's my two cents.

    good point, Rob, yeah, you didn't ask that, Dread. I want to see what you're producing, too. I'm very fussy about silver.

    I am going to start off with projects like this one here. I will eventually get in to more intricate knotwork designs for bracelets and rings. And maybe some torcs.



    Eventually I plan to learn how to "braid" metals together to combine silver, copper, and gold all in a tightly braided rope or coil.

    And some day I might even go in to drop casting. Make a clay or plaster mold and pour in molten silver. All in time.

    I love some of the stuff showcased here.
