This beautiful work by Ewan Collins was permanently installed around a fireplace sometime in 1998. When the house was demolished some of the mosaic work was able to be salvaged. With some repairs it will continue to be enjoyed in another house or three.

It's hard to describe a place like Morocco after only being there a few weeks. For a start the tradition & extent of tile & mosaic work is wonderful. Also street art, history and culture. There is a lot to explore.
The Paintbrush is in. Another gorgeous McPhie Cabinetry kitchen. And the outside was as stunning as inside; But what makes me really happy is; the mosaic matches the red knobs on the Wolf cooktop! (this is how we go from the studio to the site).
Super day with Jessie Moore ( www.jessiemoorephotography.com ) Got lots of pretty pictures of mosaic-y goodness in Bozeman. She's the best!
Portugal is a dream for tile lovers. From the National Tile Museum (in a convent!) in Lisbon, to the Roman site at Conimbriga there are a couple of thousand years worth of work to explore. And after going cross-eyed figuring out the beautiful cobblestone (dragons teeth!) streets, there is more coffee (port!) & pastry to investigate.
A 9 hour drive in a big truck and some heavy lifting got the countertop to its new home. It is a beautiful spot on a small lake, I wish I could see the finished kitchen!
Steel frame (with under mount sink) fabricated by Big Timberworks at Gallatin Gateway. Smalti lettering edged in copper and accented with 24k gold tile on a travertine background. 11' x 42". I am getting close to finishing the big countertop (and close to the deadline). If anyone wants to come see it while it is in the studio, please do! I will be loading it up tuesday evening for an early morning departure on wednesday....
The Book Bench is in Missoula for the Festival of the Book. It will be auctioned to benefit Humanities Montana this weekend at the Holiday Inn. I can't wait to see it again!
I am very pleased to be part of this show. It was certainly challenging to do my own work and not design to a clients brief.
Rita's Red Chair is a tribute to craftsmanship and friendship. approx 12"x14". Smalti & 24k gold. The frame was made out of a cheap broken chair embellished with milagros & millefiore. |
