Happy Valentines Day!!

These are new works I made for the Valentines party sale last weekend. I really had fun playing in the shop. These days it’s a rarity for me and very wellcome. The Valentines Party was great fun (sorry I didn’t take a single picture) and I sold several pieces!

Please contact me if your interested in a piece.

Sputnik Fire Garden 22″ bowl $1100

Touchier 60″ $1100

Catholic Heater 60″ $1100

Euskara Kaixo !

I got a nice surprise link from Spain today from www.sustatu.com My Basque is limited and mainly consists of swear words and asking for kisses from grandma. If anyone out there speaks Basque and can translate the blog and send me the author I would be grateful.

Here’s a picture of my fridge to let you know I have not forgotten where my family is from.

Zen Fire Gardens for Sale

Here are a few of the new Fire Sculptures I’m working on for this weekends event.

You won’t find a hotter Valentine than this!

Here we’re putting the final touches on our new Sputnik Fire Gardens. These Outdoor fire pits are great for cold spring and summer nights. We fill them with sand and the propane gas burns at the surface creating a magical blue flame that dances on the sand. You can draw in the sand and the fire follows the lines you make! These are both enjoyable and warm.
