I am impressed by your work. Especially the fact that you do not use powders. I do not know why exactly, but I do not have the same level of respect for powedered mosaic as I do for the "old" ways.

Beautiful work, thank you for sharing.

From my mosaic Damascus steel, I do exclusive jewelry, such as bracelets. Used only forge - the hearth welding. Two bracelets from the wild and crankshaft Damascus. The third is called: "Flowers on the inside. "

Hello Demid that is really beautiful work, I am extremely envious of the skill you have to produce such exquisite patterns. I look forward to seeing more.

Mick

Very nice work Demid ! I'm glad this post came back to the top because I somehow missed it until now . Great patterns and examples ! Have you used a hydraulic press to form your billets ? Thanks for sharing your work with us.

GREAT!! You are back!! Always a treat to see your beautiful work. Thanks for sharing.

vladimir your work is in another orbit!! but i know WHY when i read the way you talk about the work- i can hear how creatively happy you are, and that you are on a journey with the work that you really love - and we can all benefit from hearing about that - your creative thinking/process as well as your technical skill, although when you master something like you have, the two become one, and even more than the sum of the parts. the close ups look like microscopic patterns in nature, tiny set jewels with beautiful natural symmetry, it must be very exciting to see your idea emerge each time.. very compulsive!! i shake your hand from england! :)

love your work, inspiring, also your square firepot , did you make the round one also? or is it bought?

Many thanks to my friends! Your feedback is warmed my heart. Each alone is on its way of life. If what you do, resonates with other people, what more could you want? Thanks to you for the next half a year of optimism I provided! Beth, I shake your hand from St. Petersburg. The magnificent speech on you!

Round fire pot is made of the brake drum. But apart from the brake drum that I found at the dump, the entire structure a home-made.

This is not the knives, but my blacksmith work. It is possible to combine both the architectural metal, as well as search and discovery in the study of mosaic Damascus steel. With best wishes, Demidoff

As far as possible take part in national and international symposia, workshops, publications in various print media (magazines, exhibition catalogs).

Great work! Is this your own shop or do you work for someone? If your own shop do you have others that work for you? How's business? What is the majority of work that you do?
Hope you don't mind all of the questions. Interesting to see how others make a living and produce work.
