Custom Tribute Plaque

I am really excited about my latest custom piece.  My client's great grandmother, Mary, hand painted a lamp that got broken about nine years ago.  My client's mother inherited this lamp and was so upset when it broke.  Now, all these years later, the pieces have been repurposed into a plaque with Mary's picture.

Mary and her husband bought a restaurant called Rosie's in Wichita and kept that name for about ten years.  This chunk of vintage hardware with the rose in it is a nod to their business.

Mary was Italian and family was very important.  I think the beautiful deep reds in the lamp she painted give the plaque a very Italian feel.

Beautiful bright green leaf.

Pearls give the piece a nice vintage feel.

Beautiful dark red flower pieces.

It was an honor to do this piece for my client and I hope her mom loves it!

Red Red Wine

My latest custom switch plate makes me wish I was on the deck with a glass of wine . . .

It's on it's way to a cabin in Loch Lomond, California, the perfect setting for a glass or TWO of vino.

It was fun mixing the wine and Italian themes for a truly unique and one-of-a-kind little piece of art for a cabin. Enjoy, Lisa!
