Fire Spirits

As I began researching for this project, my father gave me some background on the village blacksmith. In times past the blacksmith was a key member of the small communities since he was highly valued for making and repairing things people needed. He could make and repair: guns, farm equipment, tools, and just about anything made from metal. If given a choice small towns would choose a blacksmith over even having a doctor. As the blacksmith closed his shop for the night they would lay their hammer across the anvil forming a rudimentary cross to ward off the fire demons that may come out and do mischief to the shop during the night

This is a great piece-- so well-done, and I love roomboxes with a family connection. And it's virtually all handmade-- I hope you win!

This inspires me to get going on the roombox that I have been pondering for my own father! Just haven't found the right box yet...
