David Broussard does with carbon steel what a jeweler does with stones. The steel is polished and textured for a one-of-a-kind design.

The beautiful colors are revealed using only the heat from a blow torch, a process he calls flame-painting. Jeweled Steel art is handmade in Dallas, Texas and signed by the artist.

It was December 1999, about three months after Broussard's three piece rock and roll band decided to call it quits. He had worked in different professions and was successful, but there was still this lack. His heart desire was to do something new; something inspired from above.

David prayed that the Lord would give him a new gift for the new millennium. He asked the Lord to pick the gift (Who would know better the gifts & talents in me than the One Who created me!) and bring it forth. His only request was that this new gift would accomplish three things. First, he wanted it to glorify God in all the earth. Second, he wanted to have the same passion with this gift as he has with his music (the man can play a bass guitar). Third, he wanted this gift to prosper him abundantly so he could sow financially into the many missions and humanitarian works around the world.

Six months later in May 2000, he enrolled in a 24 hour welding course at Creative Arts Center of Dallas. The third item he made was a cross and he hung it in his hair salon (He's also Dallas Observer's 2003 Best Men's Hairstylist and an expert in hair color). It sold immediately, so he made another one to take its place. That one didn't last very long either. After about 40 to 50 sales, Kristi Blair, his business partner in the salon, told him he needed to quit cutting hair and make crosses full time. The lights went on (he's kind of slow) that this was the answer to his prayer.

Since that time, thousands have been sold and now he is selling his crosses not only here in the states but all over the world. His crosses are sold in gift stores across the nation, including Loretto Chapel in Santa Fe, NM, Carmel Mission in Carmel, CA and the Washington National Cathedral Museum Gift Shop in Washington, DC. YES, God does answer the cries of our heart!!! All we have to do is ask. Jesus said, "You have not because you ask not." Start asking and get ready to receive!

David is leading Jeweled Steel in new directions. Besides a line of more than 30 designs of gift crosses and other products, David is always working on commissioned wall hangings and free-standing sculpture. He continues to expand and improve his skills and is now picking up some great new ideas from renowned Dewayne Roy of Mountain View College in Dallas.
