Filed under Canadiana, Christmas, Commemorative, Gifts, Sun Catchers by on December 31, 2017 at 5:30 pm {no comments}

A client in Slave Lake Alberta requested that we make one of our United Grain Growers Elevator with the town name of Kinuso on it. Kinuso is located west of Slave Lake and just south of Lesser Slave Lake in Alberta.

Our grain elevators measure approximately 4.5 inches wide by 6 inches high. We box them complete with a care letter and a suction cup for hanging.

We also make Alberta Wheat Pool, Saskatchewan Pool and Pioneer Elevators with name locations to suit our clients requests.

Scenic Alberta Circular Suncatchers 2017

Filed under Canadiana, Gifts, Sun Catchers by on November 25, 2017 at 5:30 pm {no comments}

Earlier this year we were asked if we could make 2 small circle suncatchers that represented Alberta. The one on the left depicted Alberta’s Rocky Mountains, the foothills and Alberta’s Provincial Flower the Alberta Rose.

The other one on the right depicted Alberta’s farming lands, our rolling hills along with an Alberta Wheat Pool Elevator, unfortunately few of these prairie sentinels remain on our landscape.

Both circles measured approximately 6 inches in diameter and were surrounded with a decorative brass edging.  After soldering both had black patina applied, cleaned and then polished.

These were taken to England as gifts by our client, and we were told that they were very well received and appreciated.

Horseshoes 2017

Filed under Commemorative, Gifts, Sun Catchers by on September 9, 2017 at 5:30 pm {one comment}

These 4 Horseshoes were purchased by a client to be given away as gifts. Each one measures approximately 6 inches wide x 7 inches high. We used a combination of Spectrum and Armstrong glass along with attaching a fine silver chain which was soldered into the back seams. The eyes on each are made from black backed foil and raised solder.  Black backed copper foil is used, along with JAX Pewter Black Patina and Clarica Polish. We use Kwik Clean to clean each between soldering and after the patina is applied. Once the polish dries we use a soft cloth along with toothbrushes to bring them to a very clean polished sheen.

The next 4 photos shows each horseshoe individually.
