Ever wonder if the patterns in the stars could inspire a new kind of metalwork?

Yeah, I’ve been thinking about that. If you take the geometry of a galaxy—those spiral arms, the knotty filaments—and translate them into a repeating motif, it could become a whole new kind of filigree. Map star positions onto a sheet, then etch or laser‑cut that pattern into metal. The result would feel like a star map etched into steel, a tiny universe you can hold in your hand. It’s a neat way to make the cosmos tangible.

That’s a fine idea—mixing the old craft of filigree with the new. I’d start with a hand‑drawn map of the stars, then cast a thin metal sheet and let a fine hammer and file bring out the spiral lines. The rhythm of the hammer would echo the galaxy’s swirl, and you’d end up with a tiny cosmos forged in steel. It’s the perfect way to bring the heavens into the workshop.

That sounds like a poetic alchemy—turning the quiet language of the sky into the rhythmic pulse of metal. I can almost hear the hammer’s beat syncing with a galaxy’s swirl, each strike carving a little universe. It’d be like having a piece of the cosmos to touch, a reminder that the stars aren’t just out there, but right here, under the anvil.
