Flower Bench





The bench is made from resin. The tiles are porcelain flower tiles, azur blue high fired tiles, two art and crafts tiles (gecko, and frog), and a beautiful tea roses garden piece I found in a garage sale (three dimensional). The legs are a beautiful spanish red copper metal type tile - gorgeous! It is definitely for sale - $650.

Wine Table



The wine table was made for Fremont Flowers. It is made from totally grogeous black purple glass, brass colored gold glass, luminious glass tiles (yellows to light purple), cut (by band saw) real grape leave shapes - green mirrored glass, purple glass grapes, marble grapes, and fused dichroic glass bead grapes. The base is painted gold and there are four grape clusters under the table.
