Looking for someone who works with brass or copper

I'd like a fairly small piece, probably in brass, as an ornament for a leather cantle on a horsehair sporran...if anybody knows someone who would be willing to consider a small custom order...please post up!

Our very own Mark Goodwin (tyger http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/members/tyger/ ) is a very gifted metalsmith and may be able to hook you up! He made this beautiful buckle for me, recently:



Pictures really can't do his craftsmanship justice, but they can give a basic idea. For more examples of his work, check out the STM Artisan gallery:

I second that. Tyger does great work. I have one of his buckles and am pleased with it everytime I wear a kilt. Sometimes I even wear a waistcoat and belt just becuase I like the custom buckle so much. Pewter and copper. Will try to post photos later.
He is very open to ideas and enjoys working on custom projects.
