I am certain I've done three dozen of these wine coolers/carafes over the last few years. I got overwhelmed trying to choose just a few and it just so happens that these three were all for the same wonderful client who commissioned them for her close friends' gifts, Christmas of 2008. (Said wonderful client owns at least six her own self.) Above was for Clare.
Below is Vince's:

I sold this WINO frame at a show immediately after making it. Truly a one-of-a-kind piece! I was able to set the tiny ring watch to 5:00! That made the piece for me.
I can't believe I still have not sold this wine amphora. If I had to keep just one piece that I'd ever made, this would be it. I used a magnum bottle I moved from CO to NC along with the perfect handle from a Pier One Margarita pitcher that I broke. The Italian rose cluster on the front is stunning, I used some of my favorite floral china patterns, and at one time, there was no such thing as too much purple grout for me.




Cheers!
Gorgeous fun stuff...as usual. There's no such thing as too much purple anything. I know as nifty as these pieces are visually, they're also stout and feel good in the hand. I love stuff with SUBSTANCE in every sense of the word.
