The idea of designing and making a collection of weapons and armanent based on an anthromorphic civilization began in 1975. Those first designs were titled the "Epsilon Bootes" series and eventually led to the pieces I have since come to be known for.
I wanted something that used the techniques of the past but allowed me to skew the civilization and it's history to fit my scenario. The result was the creation of the "Het Lands", a place sometime in the universe where an archaic civilization is faced with the appearance on their world of the "Seth Daemon".
From the beginning the purpose has been to make real items, not movie props. The pieces are made utilizing techniques that were being used in ancient armories on our own world. (The history may be fabrication but the physics are not.) Everything is hand made. Whether it is steel or woven fabric care is taken that each piece is a one-of-a kind item. With the assistance of fellow artisans in woodcarving, glass blowing, potting and weaveing I continue to flesh out the history of the "Het Lands" with items of everyday life.
