Metal art takes on many forms, from wall hangings, mirrors, bookends, clocks and magazine racks, to name just a few. The art of metalsmithing is the same.
Learning to create western metal art, actually any metal art, is definately not something to be taken lightly. The skills of metalsmithing are honed over many years, and with so many specialized fields, all requiring their own set of equipment, it can also be extremely expensive.
Even where the metal is acquired varies greatly from metalsmith to metalsmith. One artisian I know creates his works of art from old farm machinery parts. Some use only metal that has been thrown out for whatever reason. Some use items as they are, incorporate two or more together and create something that is totally different than what they were originally made for, such as the western metal bookends pictured above. Some metal art craftsmen draw their own templates or patterns, others buy patterns, while still others don’t use one at all!
Metal art has flooded the homes of millions of American’s, whether they prefer western home decor, cowboy decor, or rustic home decor, they all appreciate the attention to detail on these unique pieces of western metal art.
