Winter Wedding
My dress sculpture made with bittersweet and steel makes a beautiful and unique winter display with tiny white lights and snow.
Handcrafted Bittersweet arbor
The vines for this arbor were collected with permits from local conservation lands. This is a unique and beautiful doorway inviting you into another world.
Unique Handcrafted Wood Chair
These hand made chairs are made using alder, maple, red osier dog wood and bittersweet. They are more throne than chair, a seat where Gandalf might rest. I make chairs from alder, maple, bittersweet, wisteria, red osier dogwood and willow. I have found that careful attention to the internal dimensions of the chair (the height and span of the arms and the curvature of the back) results in a chair that welcomes and engulfs the sitter. The challenge of fitting many different pieces together in just the right way requires many labor intensive hours. These chairs work well inside or on a covered porch.

Handcrafted wreaths that save forests
Each wreath is a unique, and hand crafted. They are made from bittersweet vines culled from conservation land. I do not disturb the berries, to prevent further spread of this invasive species. I have town permits to collect the vines I gather. Removing bittersweet saves trees and helps preserve and protect native New England forests. This wreath is decorated with winter berries.
Handcrafted holiday wreath
Bittersweet wreath, horse chestnut garland, vintage maple sap buckets with antique French labels I collected the horse chestnuts, drilled holes through them and strung them together with copper wire. The buckets are old maple sap collecting buckets, I decoupaged old French lables onto them for a little interest.
Handcrafted bittersweet lamp on a granite base
A unique forest like sculpture of twisted vines, roots and stone, provides a magic corner in your home for imagination.
Handcrafted pin cherry lamp
I use unusually shaped granite for the lamp base. To this granite I anchor the body of the lamp, which is two or three small pieces of pin cherry cut from saplings. Pin cherry bark is a deep burgundy and is accentuated by pale yellow striations. I make each lamp shade, often with a pale paper into which is embedded the body of leaves. I use small pin cherry branches to fashion the finial for each lamp. I chose a black shade for this lamp which lends an elegance to the piece. I finish each lamp with three coats of satin marine spar varnish, which gives a permanent luster to the bark.

This bench is created from lake driftwood. The pieces were chosen for their color variation and interest. The seat is bluestone. This would be beautiful at a beach house.
Bittersweet Arbor
This arbor was created to delineate a manicured garden from the wild beyond, a perfect gateway through which hobits or the like might travel. The owner decorates it with holiday lights, and it is a beautiful winter as well as summer focal point.
