![]() | The Flying Pig It started out as a request to make a sign for the front of the restaurant. But when Roger & his wife Aaron (right) and Chef Mario (left) learned what I was going to make, they decided to use it as an art piece to fill in a large wall that was going to have a mural. |
![]() | Stretch Wrap Machine For the drapery hardware business I'm making a machine to put stretch wrap film around our drapery rod packages. It's almost done and it looks like it's going to work well. A video of the working machine. |
![]() | Acanthus leaf arch Fabricated through Drapery Hardware by Priscilla This arch is about 7' wide by 3' high and is one of the three repousse center pc's we made for designer Tatiana Denes. Tatiana was given my name by a friend after an Arizona company failed to fabricate her design as she had envisioned. You can see more of Tatiana's work at: www.desireddesign.com. |
![]() | Repousse Art I have to admit that I was more interested in doing something new than looking for more work. I saw this as an opportunity to practice the ancient skill of repousse and chasing. A great challenge that came out successfully. |
![]() | The Round Table Originally there were 2 tables. And they were made as guest bedroom night stands. Very contemporary, and specifically designed to tuck into something. I was particularly pleased with the weld-less connections. |
![]() | The Original "Very Cool" Wine or Bottle holder I designed the wine glass holder for a friend of mine that would spill at least one glass of wine at every "Jazz in the Park" concert. By request I made a few extras for friends and also made a few bottle holders. The holders are available from the Carlsbad "Friends of the Arts" during the summer "Jazz in the Park" concerts. If your unable to get to the concerts you can contact me and I'll help you get one. |
![]() | The cupcake holder My Daughter wanted to have cupcakes instead of a traditional wedding cake for her reception. We looked for available cupcake holders and found that they were pretty cheesy or not large enough to hold over 100 cupcakes. The design looks very obvious but actually took several drawings and idea changes to come up with this simple design. |
![]() | Another Cupcake Party Our first grandchild was born on SuperBowl Sunday, and we celebrated his first birthday with a football theme and another cupcake display. We made the layer banners and the cake topper ornament that included his likeness on the football characters. |
![]() | The Flag Swivel One of my clients was troubled by his American boat flag getting continually wound up on itself. He asked me to make a boat flag swivel that would keep that from happening........ it works great! |
