It's Pentaris' last day for pre-order. It's been a long year, I hope you all enjoy it!

Also, for now, both book ones in Falconis and Velancia are only 99cents.

A bit of a warm up test for a bigger project. Loosely based off the puff and slash style clothing/armour of the period. Forged in steel and heat tinted.

Absolutely phenomenal. I've always admired Jeff's work and creativity. Such things could have you inspired to rush into your own shop, or perhaps write a story based on an army of these little guys!

I managed to finish one of the three Crusader Mice this weekend! Two more to go. #jewellery #mousearmour #sculpture @tetsuya_noguchi_art @glenbowmuseum @albertauarts @calgaryartsdev @fuse33calgary

Been awhile since I've posted, still forging more than writing these days. Thought I'd share this piece, shoulder guard with some subtle embossing. Someone snapped it up pretty quick! Happy about that 😁

Why is it, that 110% of the time that I drop a fine tip marker, it lands tip down?

@LawrenceKeldon Apparently, I wrote a book about you, Lawrence! lol. ;)

@KurokonekoKamen That's awesome! 😁

@subjacktive Thanks for the kind words!

A few mins, give or take (less take) a couple hundred hours 🤪

[Lawrence Keldon @LawrenceKeldon]

One of the more enthusiastic projects I've ever tried (Novels aside). A short clip of the process. The longer time lapse videos are on my channel if anyone is interested. Hope you enjoy!

A quick time lapse video of a skull I forged. Intended for use as a shoulder guard.

@subjacktive Hmmm, I do have an anvil, it's a Brooks, not an ACME, but maybe it'll do the job 🤪

Thanks for the kind words!

[Lawrence Keldon @LawrenceKeldon]

Making some slow progress on the chasing and repousse. I've been convinced to share a bit of my process, and have uploaded some time lapse videos if anyone is interested.

@sirrahleumas Hey, Samual.

I've been doing lots of forge work recently, and trying my hand at chasing and repousse. As far as writing, I'm just polishing up Pentaris for its April release. You?

[Lawrence Keldon @LawrenceKeldon]

@BIBLIOPHONE Sounds good! I never need much of an excuse to write, and this looks like a great cause. I look forward to it 🙂

[Lawrence Keldon @LawrenceKeldon]

@myrlanfilm @Wizards_DnD Thank you!

This piece was done in 18 gauge steel and 20 gauge brass. I work in various other materials as well, so if you guys ever need anything, don't hesitate to ask.

[Lawrence Keldon @LawrenceKeldon]

I've always wanted to try proper chasing and repousse, and finally made some tools to try. It's my second attempt, though rough, I'm happy and excited to keep learning. Loosely inspired by the tales of @Wizards_DnD 's Lord Soth.

@Dave_Duggins @Wizards_DnD Hey, Dave. Thank you for the kind words!

[Lawrence Keldon @LawrenceKeldon]

Back from a short break. Spent tons of time at the anvil and hammered out quite a few new pieces. Writing often inspires my work in the shop, and other times it's the forging that inspires writing.

Anyone else have passions that cross over?

[Lawrence Keldon @LawrenceKeldon]

Apologies! Book 5 is going live, and book 6 is going to my editor 😇

[Lawrence Keldon @LawrenceKeldon]

Book 6 of Falconis will be live in three days (release date updating as we speak) and up for pre-order.

If you're new to the series, book one is currently only 99 cents or free on KU.

@byloveelissa @agletterman @downthelanebook Awesome!

I'm on my way to check them out as we speak. Thanks for the recommendations.

[Lawrence Keldon @LawrenceKeldon]

What podcasts or video series would you recommend to fellow writers?

I'd like to try and build a great list here for people who are looking to study the craft, or maybe learn something in other areas of writing.
