"View from Above" mosaic art series

Johannah's had this series in mind for a while now. Mosaic mirrors with imagery inspired by aerial views of the world, areas where human beings interact with the surface of the earth. "Agriculture" came first, a few years ago. Finally this winter there was time to get back to this project. After making the "Suburbia" and "Oceanside" mirrors, we thought these pieces would be fun as wall art as well.

Monogrammed Fireplace Tool Set

This set of monogrammed hand-forged fireplace tools was a recent commission. We collaborated with a local artisan to create the handmade, traditional Appalachian-style broom.

You can order a similar monogram set of fire poker and tongs from our all metal Etsy shop, Lucia Metal Studios.

Our trophy collection

They're not trophies we've won. These are trophies we've made. Handmade trophies are a great change of pace from the standard metal cup or wooden plaque. And we have to say, from the maker perspective, they're a unique and fun design challenge.
