Vintage domestic irons (shown below) sit in my studio as both an iconic form and inspiration for my work.

Domestic irons are an important symbol as my maker's mark.

My maker's mark is the image of a domestic iron. It looks like exactly like this. 

It even has an electric cord, and plug with two prongs. A maker's mark is the traditional way silversmiths, metalsmiths and jewelers stamped their work indicating the maker of the piece. 

My maker's mark is a pun on the fact that a hallmarking stamp is made from iron (steel) and a tribute to the traditional tool of women's work - an iron.

Below you can see my stamps. The steel tool is hit with a hammer to make an impression in the metal. 

Below is my iron maker's mark on actual work.

Campbell's Soup Flower Pin. Actual size is 2 7/8"     

This pin is SOLD but there are many other Flower Pins. 
Look at the Flower Pin Collection  for fabulous examples of my work at modest prices. 

This is a close-up view of the back for a chair titled Material Identity. 
The maker’s mark is stamped into the yellow area right above the Y’S in HERSHEY’S.
         
I have made two sculptures based on domestic irons as both form and metaphor.
