The impressionistic landscape design of the Sedona vase is begun by sifting on many layers of glass powder. We then use multiple colors of glass in a variety of forms, powder, custom mixes of frit, and stringer. The design is embedded in the surface of the glass during the blowing process to creates a highly textured piece. The final step is to softly iridize the surface with a technique adopted from the studios of the early 1900's. $300.00

The Artful Home does a tremendous job of attracting gifted artists from around the world and making their extraordinary creations available to you at home.  Now, the artists can spend more time on their craft while someone else promotes them.  Brilliant!  I have bought many, many pieces from The Artful Home and my clients have always been delighted.  You can easily own original artwork for your home with prices to fit everyone’s budget.  And it’s not limited to paintings, there are immensely gifted people designing furniture, tile, glass, rugs, sculptures and many more items.  You can search by style, color, price range and artist.  The listings are detailed and clear with shipping times and charges so decisions are easy.  I have bought a number of birthday and holiday gifts here as well.  There is something for everyone.  You will have a blast just browsing through.
