Mitzi's Idea

It's all her fault....well...still, many have had the idea but she actually made a move. Mitzi Jonkheer came to see me at work to say she'd long been thinking about starting a Metalsmiths guild here in the Port City. It has also been a dream of mine since the late 90's, when Marcia MacDonald suggested it. When Mitzi mentioned it I thought it was high time. I have been blogging and decided to start a blog for Cape Fear Metalsmiths. I hope you will be interested in joining us in formalizing a community for us to talk shop, compare notes, commiserate and share. We live in such a artistically rich region that is attracting new metalsmiths all the time, why not get together both in cyberspace and in the literal world?

I am adding links to the blog all the time, email me with suggestions. I hope this can function as a spring board.
Please! We want your thoughts! Contribute and comment and help us get the ball rolling.
