Unlike the shortcut through space and time that allows you to transcend from one earthly dimension to another, this beauty got its name because it’s all segment-y like an earthworm and it’s round so it looks like a hole. Pretty advanced thinking, eh? But you don’t have to be an astrophysicist to understand its beauty and its ability to take a boring room and transcend it into a room that is out of this world.

• Hand-cut and bent steel segments

• Brushed steel finish

• 28” diameter

This large brushed steel flower mirror will make you feel like a bumble bee every time you walk up to it. You may also find yourself wearing more black and yellow – or even stripes! But please resist the urge the rub up against it and for the love of all things floral – Do not pollinate it!

• Salvaged steel petals and leaves

• Welded leaf veins

• Brushed steel finish

• 44” diameter

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!

I'm lucky I have a long sidewalk. This is where I put together the L O N G garden mirror strands.

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.

• Hand-cut leaf element

• Brushed steel finish

• 20” h X 14” w

You haven’t seen anything this big and flowery since your Aunt Marilyn’s Hawaiian Mumu. While they both demand attention and illicit comments, this oversized mirror will only make you smile – not laugh out loud. Another difference is that you’ll actually look good in the mirror.

• Brushed and hand torched steel

• Hand-cut pedals and leaves

• 48” round

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.

• Custom metal shelf

• Brushed steel finish

• Handcrafted steel grapes, leaves and tendrils

• 18” w X 6” d

The one that got it all started. When a piece of scrap metal resembled a leaf I wondered, “Would a bunch of steel leaves look cool or like a clogged gutter?” I think the answer’s obvious - but I made it anyway.

• Custom wall art

• Hand-cut steel leaves

• Brushed steel finish

• 30” h X 40” w

--testimonial-- “We were enthusiastic about your idea of framing a mirror with steel leaves. But your suggestion of "hiding" family names among the leaves was brilliant! Now we not only have a fine piece of art, but also a lively family tradition which we enjoy when we all gather together during the holidays.”

— Bill and Judy B.

The inspiration for this brushed steel mirror frame came while I was looking out my ivy-covered, front window and thought, “The only way this view could be any better is if I could see my own face.”

More is more, more or less. Still catching up on my photos. I took a trip to Florida for the first time to check out the art festival/art scene that is the 2013 Art Basel Miami Beach. More, more, more, more pics to come!

It was designed for a die hard Chicago Cubs fan and inspired by the ivy-covered right field wall at Wrigley Field - where he always sits. Now he can take his coat, along with his hopes of the Cubs ever winning and hang it up.

• Custom coat hooks

• 20” h X 32” w

--testimonial-- “We needed a new coat rack and Riggs worked with us on some ideas…a consultative process to be sure! We were floored by the options he presented but living one block from Wrigley Field, the decision was easy. He transformed a wall coat rack into a work of art that truly reflects the personality of our home.”

Its large size demands attention. Its beveled edges draw you in. The multi-colored, torch effect makes you wonder what it’s made of. Each steel segment was hand-cut and individually heated to create an iridescent look that is part wood grain, part of Mother of Pearl and totally unique.

Slowly, the Stalker sneaks up on its prey. Step by cautious step, getting ever closer to catching a glimpse of its obsession. 'Quit acting like you don't know I'm watching' the Stalker thinks. To get a better look, the hand-forged steel branches are pulled to either side, exposing a perfect, unobstructed view of…yourself. Sicko!
