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.

Creative Growth Birthbath




This birdbath piece is a really fun mosaic. It is made from tile from Creative Growth, a non-profit art program for developmentally challenged adults. The facility is in Oakland, and I was fortunate to buy these beautiful and creative tiles. The birdbath is about three feet tall and the bath is deep. Materials: Tiles, glass beads, and different types of mirror. Three different colors of grout - cherry (self-mixed), green - dark, and light. All grouts have a little of my own color touch:) The base is solid disadvantaged concrete - lovely cleaned and recycled for beauty.

Jewels Birdbath




Birdbath - dichroic jewels, mirror, stained glass, and van gough glass. About two and one-half feet tall. Gorgeous! Pictures do not do justice to the piece.
