We can create a special pieces from an existing design, using a particular color, creat a new design or apply one that you provide us, or make any other changes.
But we can also create anything you want, even if we don't have an existing design based on a concept you have in mind, or on ideas that we provide based on your particular needs.
The plate sets and jewelry pieces below are examples of changes to existing designs, while the shelving system was something that we created entirely from scratch, based on a concept provided by the customer.
If you have something in mind, please contact us to discuss.
Below are some samples of commissioned pieces

"Desert Palm"commissioned by the City
of Palm Desert
The City of Palm Desert commissioned this sculpture, which was placed
at the entrance of their newly built Visitors Center, which is the first
LEED green building in the Coachella Valley, in California.
The sculpture was created from
recycled glass bottles and reclaimed metal from a plant that manufacures
rocket parts.
A palm tree was chosen not only for the connection with the city’s
name and landscape, but because a tree comes full circle with the concept
of recycling.
The height of the palm, 5’7” was chosen specifically
to be at the human scale, for three main reasons: to
make the product of the recycling process (the tree) feel "humanly" attainable,
to allow a close up view of how elements were transformed from their old
to their new state, and to provide an immediate tactile experience with
the sculpture.

Photo frames
The client, having a large family, wanted a modern way to display her pictures in a consistent way.
This contemporary design gave her the flexibility to use different sizes of photos as well as different orientations.
Photo frames are attached to a string of superimposed glass squares, decorated with hand made colors. Strings hang from a rustic iron rod.
Frames can be easily detached and placed horizontally or vertically. Each string of glass can support different frame sizes.

| Why commission a piece? |
What are good occasions to give a commissioned
piece? |
What is the process of commissioning
a piece? |
| Because a commissioned piece is unique. It
has special colors or designs that are meaningful to the person that
will receive the gift. A commissioned piece shows the recipient how meaningful
they are. |
We have made many pieces for weddings,
from jewelry for bridesmaids, using specific colors to match their gowns,
to party favors.
Birthdays and anniversaries are also
great opportunities for a special gift. The jewelry set and the green
and purple plates below are two examples.
We have made a small quantity of corporate gifts for
christmas, that our customers use to thank their special customers.
But we have also made special pieces for everyday use. The
blue dessert plates below were made to match a set of blue wine glasses
that the customer had.

Simply contact
us to discuss your project.
After our initial conversation we will create 3 samples and will
create a special page for you to review and choose your design.
Once we have agreed upon the piece, we will create it and ship
it to you.
Please note that we require payment of 50% up front and 50% upon
completion of the piece for commissioned pieces. This is because we need
to ensure your commitment in order to produce the piece. |
