Busy Season

I am pleased to announce that Boone's Hooks shop is very busy these days and that is the reason for my lack of new articles on this blog.
I am participating in local art shows, filling orders from the internet, getting prepared for the local holiday art show and fulfilling a major order for the Gaiam/Real Goods catalog.
Business is great, thank you for your support and please do not hesitate to order your own fine hand-forged ironwork. We still have a couple of weeks to safely ship in time for the holidays!

I look forward to hearing from you. Happy Holidays.

I will be adding new articles regarding blacksmithing, design, art etc.. as soon as I am able.

Cheers,
Smyth Boone

Design Style Guide

I would like to introduce a new website called Design Style Guide.
http://www.designstyleguide.net/


The site is a collection of amazing hand made art from artists that specialize in interior design. The site is a brilliant one stop resource for a growing number of artists and professionals in the home decorating industry.

A couple of my favorite things about the site is that it is simply a networking tool to get prospective buyers to individual artists websites and highlights so many great artists and buyers can see a ton of wonderful art all in one stop.

Design Style Guide is very easy to navigate, features treasuries, and only carries high caliber artwork that meets rigorous standards. The editors make sure every posting qualifies to their specific standards.

Here is the description on the Design Style Guide homepage:

If you are an interior designer, decorator, or home stager, this website is designed to help you quickly find that perfect accent to help you sell to your clients. You can search for items by style, color, room, or material, to help you work more efficiently and use less of your valuable time wading through the mountains of things available online.

Please check it out... http://www.designstyleguide.net/
