Michael Weneck

The Tusk table has walnut legs and top with cherry aprons. The Olive Oil Spiral is part of my Galaxy series of wall sculptures which are inspired by the Hubble telescope pictures. The wood is olive with a piece of soapstone in the center. The Red-Orange-Yellow (ROY) Sunflower is pine that has been sandblasted to get the texture (the high parts are the growth rings of the tree). After sandblasting the frame is dyed and then finished.

I create contemporary furniture, wall sculptures and other decorative items out of wood.
When the design calls for it stone and metal accents are used. Most of my current work contains
curved and shaped elements that draw the eye and create a sense of movement. My works are created
using mostly traditional woodworking and power carving techniques but I will use any technique
that will help me execute my ideas.

Grand Glimmers by Linda Grandstaff


I am a Graphic Designer by profession and a jewelry artist by passion. I incorporate various metals including copper, sterling silver (.925) and fine silver (.999) in my pieces. I also use semi-precious gemstones in some of my pieces. I like to create custom jewelry that appeals and is affordable to many individuals. My jewelry is an eclectic mix of Modern (domed rings) to Victorian (filigree) designs. All designs are hand fabricated by me and I welcome commissions. I try to create unusual designs that stand out from the crowd but are very affordable at $50.00 and up.
