It’s February and I’ve been busily preparing for the festival season. We just got in a shipment of enameled copper rings for Harriet’s chainmaille that she will be combining with silver to make some fancy new Byzantine bracelets with a two tone look. I’ve applied for vending at Spoutwood farm’s May day faerie festival the first weekend of May www.fairiefestival.net in Glen Rock, PA. and the Maryland Faerie Festival in June www.marylandfaeriefestival.orgI’ve vended at spoutwood two years ago and it’s a great festival. Maryland will be new for us but we hear from others that it is great as well. I hope to have good news soon on those! We will also be returning to the World of Faeries festival at Vasa park in South Elgin, Illinois www.theworldoffaeries.com in August. I’m starting to work on new stock for this year and hope to be doing some silver-work soon as I’ve started working with PMC, precious metal clay, which I just love.  It is fine silver in a organic binder that can be molded or sculpted into almost anything and when fired it becomes solid silver. I’ll also be posting more of our work in the next week or so so come back often and see what’s new. That’s about it for now, Ceir

It’s a new year and is already a busy one for us at Hawke’s Nest. We are working hard to compleat this web site and hope to have it done in the next week or so. We also have been contacted about several custom orders including a silver wolf pendent, a silver circlet for a new priestess, and more of my wife’s chainmaile jewelry! We are also getting set up for several festivals and hope if accepted to do Spoutwood farm’s Faerie festival in May and the Maryland Faerie festival in June. Both are great festivals, large with lot’s to do. The people that run them are great so I really want to do them. I’ll be putting up links soon to them as well as other things we’ll be doing. I of course have a lot of stock to make by then so I best get to it. More later, Ceir
