Some people think of Morning Glories as an invasive weed that grows everywhere and over everything. I think they are beautiful bits of color and heart-shaped leaves that appear in the places we need them most. I saw a collection of them in the alley behind my house making some garbage cans look especially pleasant. I figured if they can make a rat condo look good what they could do to the inside of a nice house would be Morning Glory-ous!

The perfect complement to the Tasty Mirror-lo. First, let your eyes drink in its beauty and fine craftsmanship. Then, sniff its intoxicating, clean, brushed steel finish. And swish around the mouthwatering grapes and bold, hand-cut leaves and winding grapevine. Finally, have a party. Something this good should be shared with friends.

The artwork says, “I really love wine.” The fact that you spent money on something other than actual wine says, “See, I told you I don’t have a problem!” This homage to the Nectar of the Gods tells people that you enjoy a good glass of grapes now and then and it looks a lot better than your Pinot-stained smile.

This little steel shelf packs a lot of different design styles into a very small space. It’s modern, rustic, urban, industrial, artistic and functional all at once. All the various textures and shades of gray are also an excellent case study of how similar pieces of steel can offer such a wide array of subtle differences. Just like snowflakes, flowers or the Baldwin brothers.

Even the mightiest oak tree comes from the smallest acorn, but not this big oak leaf steel mirror. It came from the smallest metalworking studio in Chicago. The huge leaves I used as a template came from a tree in Ohio, where the turning of the autumn leaves is nearly a religious experience. The natural rust patina adds a warmth to the piece, like a cup of hot cider warms up the coolest of hikes through the crunchy leaves.

This mirror is like the big, burly cousin of the wimpy, old standard punched tin wall mirror. A simple mallet and an awl is no match for this guy. 3/16” thick steel, a prick punch (seriously), a 5-pound sledge and a drill press had to gang up to create this delicate-looking, floral-themed wall mirror. Its thin, low-profile design is perfect for a narrow hallway or a tiny dining room that needs a big punch.

Larger than most urban gardens, this flower patch features over 3 dozen, fresh plasma-cut posies that create an eye-watering steel mirror – even if you don’t have pollen allergies. It’s so big and so gorgeous anyone will look good in it. Trust me, I tried it! They’ll never shrivel up and always look fresh as a…how’s that saying go?

African Beads:
;The earliest Africans made beads as “fetishes”, charms, talisman and amulets for protection and adornments. The first materials were shell, stone, wood, bone, seeds, amber, ivory, teeth, clay, metals, etc. Beads were highly valuable and were also used as currency.
Trading could be done for food, livestock, etc. Beads evolve into a visual language that express rank, spirituality initiation, used to communicate culture value important to the people way of life. African people have had a special relationship with beads for thousands of years.
No other people on the planet used as many beads or in such abundance as African and the importance of the beads was not it shape, color, size or place of manufacture but the value that had been assign to it by privies generations
.Long before the first European return to Africa in the 1400’s century we were adorning ourselves with beads. Many of the beads are becoming increasingly rare and difficult to fine and some are no longer available, as worldwide demand for the beads increases.
" African Trade Beads":
this term typically applies to beads made predominately in European countries from the late 1400s through to the early 1900s, beads traded in Africa, Americas and other counties.
This "trade" period was from the mid 1800s through the early 1900s; millions of these beads were produced and traded in Africa. The Europeans dominated the African bead market. All beads are from the collection of MBAD/ABA African Bead Museum
The Beads were re- introduced to the American market in the late 1960s, by young peace core volunteer returning from Africa.
The beads became associated with the Hippie movement as symbols of love and peace. Today these beads are popular in contemporary jewelry and as collectable items .Millions are in private collections, bead and museums. All beads from the collection of MBAD/ABA African Bead Museum.

Did you hear the one about the Scot who walked into the artist’s studio and said, “Oi! I’m a proud Scotsman and I want you to make me something that’ll prove it to the world!” The artist looked up and said, “You’re lyin’.” “I am not!” insisted the Scot. “No, no...your lion rampant flag. I’ll make a mirror out of it.” They both laughed and celebrated with some haggis. True story. (Not really)

“He loves me. He loves me not.” Plucking petals might work on a dainty daffodil, but don’t try that with these things. They are welded together out of recycled steel and are stronger than his love for you will ever be. If you want to find out how he really feels about you ask him to hang a couple of these on your wall.

I was going to make a simple frame to hold my bio page for an art show then I decided I might as well as have some fun with it. Then, after I made it, I decided somebody might actually want to buy this thing. It will hold a 5” X 7” picture either vertically or horizontally. It will hold people’s attention indefinitely!
