Announcement
Since 2006, I have been creating lamps, mirrors and tables made from driftwood, antlers and hand painted rice paper.
My lamps are at home in a traditional, rustic or contemporary setting. Each shade is hand is made from rice paper that I often watercolor, line with mulberry paper and then painstakingly attach to finely sanded and finished driftwood. Antlers form the frame of several lamps. Many have a repurposed metal base. Each is unique, all cast a wonderful glow when lit.
My mirrors are crafted from the driftwood that washes down from the mountains each spring. I harvest (by permit) a veritable cornucopia of wood -- ponderosa, pinyon, cottonwood, cedar, juniper, even hand hewn wood from old mines. Each piece is cleaned, hand sanded many times and securely screwed onto a lamp base, table or mirror frame. Mule deer antlers or a bit of hand carving adds the finishing touch.
I would be happy to create a custom piece for you. I require 50% down on custom orders before I start with the remaining 50% upon completion.
Shipping note: I custom crate my work at no charge. Actual shipping costs are passed on to you with no markup. I've shipped my art all over North American without any problems. If you have any questions about shipping, please Convo me before buying. We take great care in shipping your piece. Someone must be at your home or place of business to sign for the shipment.

5 out of 5 starsI ordered a lamp and despite their excellent packing/shipping methods, when it came it had some cracks in the paper. I reached out to the sellers who offered a full refund but I really like the lamp so they agreed to work with me to fix it instead. They sent me some rice paper and taught me how to take off the original paper and apply the new sheets myself. It was a fun project and I love the lamp even more now.

5 out of 5 starsThis mirror was a unique work or art. I look for one of a kind hand made pieces of functional art. This mirror was just that. I can appreciate the interesting detailed wood burning as it was genius idea that worked well with this rustic theme...Thanks for selling it to me....

5 out of 5 starsPrompt and meticulous shipping, fabulous lamp -- all chunky and organic shapes that combine into a graceful whole. It's a big and dramatic piece, so it took awhile to find the right place for it, but that was well worth the effort. This is my second purchase from this shop, and I'm very pleased with both lamps.

5 out of 5 starsI really appreciated the excellent customer service from this seller. The lamps that I have ordered are always packed well and look incredible. I couldn't be happier with the level of quality for the lamps.
