Treehouse Door Window

The Stained Glass window was made last week during a
class at Yestermorrow Design School with renowned
artist Larry Ribbecke. The work of FLW was the
inspiration.

Sally's Reading Lamp


This is a lamp I made for our friend Sally Taylor, who has been a source of wisdom and strength in our lives. She needed some light between two chairs she uses for reading and sewing. The design is a Frank Lloyd Wright
inspired creation. Ellie went to nearby stream to find the rocks for the base.

De Rhodes Lamp

The De Rhodes Lamp has a base made from Padouk and a stem from
Douglas Fir. The corners are mahogany strips. There is a standard socket
near the top and a candleabra socket inside the stem. Once again I was inspired by the designs of Frank Lloyd Wright and the Prairie style.$200

Sugar House Lantern





The roof on this reminds me
of a Vermont sugar house
that has vents for the steam
in the upper roof. It is mostly
Tiger Maple with some
Mahogany. Frank Lloyd Wright
did some lanterns for the
Cheney House that also

had some influence.
$250

Octagon Lantern

This is a lamp that I just finished and the influence of Frank Lloyd
Wright is again my inspiration. The chairs he designed had the same equally spaced vertical slats. I used mahogany and made
the shade an octagon with stained glass. The cost is $350

Prairie Lantern


Frank Lloyd Wright interest in the architecture of
Japan is reflected in this project. The low roofline
of the shade evokes images of the Japanese Tea House. This Asian sense of harmony and proportion was a part of many of the homes he designed in the Midwest. This has a tiger maple base and a mahogany platform. Cherry and Black Walnut were use on the posts and top.$500
