I finally had a chance to make my second titanium clock. If you were abducted by aliens and
you had one of these clocks you could barter your way to freedom again with it! LOL
You won't be finding these at Walmart anytime soon. Feel free to order one from me. They are
about 12 inches in diameter and will last until the end of time (excluding the battery)

Mirror mirror on the wall - whose the most abstract of them all?? That isn't
the original script but it works for this mirror. I call it the "hurricane mirror"
because the panels that make up the frame have swirly designs on them
that resemble space views of hurricanes. Who really talks to mirrors anyway??

SCIENCE with titanium !!
This is a hydrogen/oxygen cell. I became interested in making these and using them to
enhance fuel economy when the gas prices started to skyrocket. This is one of the reasons I was sidetracked from
doing artwork for a while. This thing splits water into usable "hydroxy" gas. It will eventually help me
laugh at gas prices and heat my house on water with enough knowledge and patience.

The 'Daisy Blue Cobalt" lamp is complete. This is my first attempt at making a titanium floor lamp. Several new ideas were put into place on this piece.The post is made of many segmented rings forming a triangular shape.
The shade edges are titanium strips that dangle from rings...heavy duty fringe!
"Chicken of the Sea"
After sending our daughter downstairs to get a can of tuna, she returned to say there is nothing but chicken of the sea down there. After a good laugh I decided to make a "sea chicken" in its natural sea chicken habitat of course. It doesn't show too well in these pictures but the chicken head morphs into a fish body. I'm not sure how sea chickens taste but they are fun to watch. This one was on display at the Burton Library Art Show in early October.
The Second Angel Chandelier
The second angel chandelier is finally complete and was on display at the Russell Art Show .It has been a long time in the works. These shots were taken in my barn because the display stand wouldn't fit it my house but what a neat effect! I think I'll get back to something easy for a while! ***** UPDATE! ***** The Angel chandelier can be seen at the 2008 Willoughby Artfest in Willoughby, Ohio on July 19th from 10:00 Am to 5:00 Pm. The "Dance of Glory" titanium centerpiece Click here for more insight on this unusual piece.
The new piece shown in four views is called "Turn of the Century". It was actually intended to be a wedding cake topper weighing in at just under 12 onces. It is an heirloom for the special bride and groom to last a life time and
BEYOND! Commissions always welcomed...
The Mini- Angel Falls Tabletop Waterfalls
Here is the table top Angel themed waterfalls. It can be used to hear the sound of falling water or run nearly silent by lowering the water level in the basin. It is back lit by two long life signal bulbs just under the falls. This one has sold but this can be reproduced on special order.
This piece is called "Anticipation" ( thank you Carol King) and it is depicting an intense moment out there somewhere in the pond. The dragonfly has a sudden and unexpected end coming. As in most of my art, there is a spiritual message to glean from such a scene as this. That we truly never know when our "last moment" is coming ...thus the importance of trusting in Jesus' finished work on the cross to take away our sin and prepare us for our last moment and then eternity. And you thought this was just art.... Are you ready???
. See more Windchimes here Here is a shot of the second" dual strike " wind chimes featuring ten angels and an unusual elongated hexagonal dome. Notice the "bamboo" anodizing on the chimes.These chimes are beautiful especially during peak sunlight.
"Morning Nectar 3" See it at the Scaravilli Design Studio in Little Italy,Cleveland
Titanium "Angel Falls" make an eye catching ornament/focal point for deck or patio ponds. They can be made to include lighting and color effects as well. Guaranteed to outlast your fish by a few thousand years!
