Two pieces that sold relatively quickly were the Rustic Heart and Wine Bottle hanging.
The Rustic Heart was made from scrap pieces of wood I saved as I was doing a variety of projects. It was fun to assemble, much like putting a jigsaw puzzle together. The heart is mounted on salvaged pallet wood that has been stained.
The Wine Bottle is made from old wine corks and then surrounded by pennies... finally a use for all those pennies that piled up in that jar on my dresser. The grapes in the middle of the bottle are simply the end of the wine cork that was inside the bottled, stained by the wine. It's mounted on salvaged wood from other projects and then given a urethane coating.
I like to think I'm creative. I don't claim to be an artist, merely a creator. Over the years I've created everything from stage sets to lamps, fireplace fronts to photographs. Recently I’ve become interested in the "upcycling" movement. Right now I'm not selling pieces but I'm thinking that might be something for me to work into, so I'm kind of branching out in what I'm creating. This site is where I will share some of those things with whoever cares to take a look… let me know what you think.
