  • This is a commission piece I did for a woman.  This table was her grandmother's and the top was not in the best of shape.  She wanted it painted white and told me to do any design I wanted out of pastel colors.  When she came to look at it, she was overwhelmed because one of the dishes (unbeknownst to me) was some identical dishes that her grandmother had. 13
  • This is a curio cabinet that is heavy and sets on a table.  It is made out of beautiful china, stained glass, and kiln-fired butterfly designs. 2
  • This is a long (48") bench that I painted and then created with china dishes, glass mosaic gems, and stained glass.  I left much of the blue top exposed for interest. 5
