Thanks to some big brass and copper jump rings and roll milled or stamped pieces I made 5 or 6 years ago, I was able to combine metal with lampwork beads. I'll have these at the "Mira! Las Cruces" festival, and bushels more new hot glass.

There's more to do before publishing a package but I put code-so-far up

TL;DR if you put this toward the top of a #metalsmith plugin chain it will auto-generate `index.md` files in any directories that don't have them (you know, like an old-school web server)

This is a vessel I made while in my final semester at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. It is welded and brazed steel. This was my first time brazing, and I found it very satisfying and enjoyable. The technique and motions were like TIG welding, but the behavior of the bronze was like solder. This piece now sits on my kitchen counter and holds wooden spoons, whisks, spatulas and the like.
