I’m not one to gossip, but I’ve heard through the grapevine that this steel mirror’s huge leaves and heaving grapes are fake – she had them augmented just to draw attention to herself. And that sturdy steel trellis framework it’s married to, you just know it has to be hung well. These two, trying so hard to get looked at will definitely get tongues wagging. But you didn’t hear this from me.

“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.

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.

As kids we play in leaves. When we get older we rake leaves, and when we’re gone we get buried under the leaves. That’s the morbid inspiration for this light-hearted collection of rustic wall art. This symbolic circle, or triangle of life is to die for.

Most frames are made to hold a picture, this one is also made to hold your attention. Specially-designed to complement the photo it’s holding, it adds a textural effect that brings the photo to life without overwhelming it or distracting the viewer. Imagine what it could do for one of your blurry photos.

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.

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!

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 and museums. This mural is on MBAD/ABA African Bead Museum Detroit, MI

1/8" Mirror, Colored Mirror from Spectrum and mosaicsbymaria.com, Knobs from Anthropologie. Grout will be periwinkle. I think. The other side will be similarly free form and will ooze off under the window.

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.

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.

After the rain hummers bombard the feeder. There were teens of them just before the camera snapped. I promise!! Sometimes hummers hover at the mirror suncatching art. Are they righteously hungry and/or vain?

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.

--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.”

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.
