Excellent!!

Yes, conquering the kitchen really helps with smithing though all that pounding at the forge makes my head ache :)

Bronze is on the way!

Decided to get away from pounding out dough and standing in front of a hot stove in the kitchen, so I tried a totally different challenge, like smithing where I pounded on rock and used the blazing forge!! uh.. oh ...hmmm...

oh well. Got the bronze challenge completed! ;)

Been putting off this challenge because smithing kinda looked complicated and wasn't even sure where the mine was. Out of shear curiosity this week I had a good look through the other members pictures and finally managed to track it down in Provence Coeur (because asking Tat for directions just seemed too simple :p )

Got 129 pieces and dragged all of it Home before realizing I should have just gone up to the market and used the foundry straight after.

I have to admit Smithing turned out to be a lot more fun than I ever imagined.

And to make the best use of the Dinosaur Oil the smithing equipment runs off of I tried making some other stuff too. Naturally included the cute little lamp ;)

I got out there and mined my iron ore. Provence Coeur is probably the most pleasant iron mine in existence.

After I had just a bit over 100 pieces of iron ore, I went to the Foundry and melted the pieces into 10 iron ingots. I then worked hard at the Forge (see Firsts) to create my items, and also repair the sickle I've been using. I'm very excited to know how to use the smithing equipment!

Mining 100 pieces of ore does not sound very ladylike ... but if you can do it I suppose I can too!

It was a very interesting challenge to put this all together for the Bronze Award (and the new Apprenticeship program). I learned to do things in bigger batches and some days I thought I'd never get the ringing out of my ears from all that hammering :)
