 Originally I made this web site as a means to show 'math art', but since I have decided to add other topics , so I hope you enjoy something. 

Math Art is to demonstrate not only the 'beauty' of mathematics , but also how math has been used in artwork and ideas related to math are communicated, and images of people who have contributed to mathematics.  I hope that it inspires young people to consider mathematics more favorably and see how mathematics is involved in their lives. 

Blacksmith items are things that I have made using a forge and welding.  When people find out one of my hobbies is blacksmithing the first question that follows is 'what do you make', so this page is to answer that question.  I do not do farrier work (shoe horses).   Other Art Stuff is where I put stuff my wife and I have made.  The Hobbit /evolutionary Trail is a project we did several years ago to get an appreciation of Earth time.  This is a walking path at a property we call Hobbit Farm scaled to the passage of time , with events in the Earth's life marked by placement of forged posts, each holding a  fused art glass mosaic plate depicting a significant event.  By walking the path, a person experiences in a physical way, the passage of time ................. it's humbling to realize the extent of humanity's existence as compared with that of the Earth.  The dinosaurs got along pretty well on their own for 160 million years.  Unfortunately, it is a valid question these days whether humans will equal that stand.
