way to go dan , thanks for expanding the craft !
i’m really glad i found this site and all the talented folks here ,
after 45 years working in bldgs. and shops i needed a new way .
bought myself an apple macbook and have spent 3 months learning to use it , one finger at a time .
i treat it like a new shop tool , but hope to learn it before i can’t get out of bed .
how do you do all that stuff in your blogs with it ?
i can barely remember how to get to this site , ( i go through my mail )
and thanks also for the laughs .
way to go brother !

Another beauty…

Great looking project Dan!

Another good one!

Very cool piece, great talent you have.

-- Dan Wiggins

Excellant work Dan. I know I’ve said this before but I think this one may be my favorite.

This might be my favorite set of tiles. Midnight green over fired in stoneware impregnated with ground glass. Also experimental Lumpy underglazes. Tiles have been acid and liver of sulfer patinated with iron, bronze and copper metal coatings.

Gorgeous…

Beyond the fabulous formal and aesthetic quality of the Art & Craft style, your piece reveals a rich surface of patterned color laced with a nuance of texture. A stunning visual treat!

-- Rick, south Sweden

Dan, “great” is one overused word. It doesn’t even begin to describe this.
WOW keep it up, I can’t wait for the next one.

Dan, I have to say that I love all of your work that I’ve seen. To me they look totally original, but still embody the spirit of the arts & crafts style, especially with the mixed media concept, but this one I like most of all. If I had made it I would not be able to sell it. I hope you get a very good price for it.

-- Mike, American in Norway

Dan I commented on this yesterday and now its gone I don’t know what the deal is. Great artistry as usual. You did it again, the usual dark visually interesting forest that draws you in like a moth to flame. Love the spikes on the side. Looks Viking like.

Very original breakaway design. I am personally drawn to the Arts & Crafts style because of its simple design,strong grain,rich color and joinery.But so much of the early works lack finesse,they seem lifeless and heavy,too sombre for my taste. I like your approach to this style.Your pieces are not only a fresh new style, but they have movement and tension.The tree scene draws the eye,but then the frame begs for attention and makes us think,to ponder and ask questions.Why are there ” teeth” sticking out of the frame? What do they represent? Does it matter?
This piece would suit the mood of different personalities and decorative styles,though I doubt it will be just another accent.It needs a wall of its own.
Well done Dan.

I’m with the others. Wonderful piece. All aspects are of interest. The eye and mind just love your style. Interesting things to see wherever the eye looks. Super!

Another beautiful work of artistry.

Your work always makes me think medieval, like the days of King Arthur.

Very beautiful work and creativity, Dan.

Why do artists always sell their best work?

-- Tom, Surfside Beach, SC - Romans 8:28

Hey Tom
artists always sell there best work because their not-so-good stuff doesn’t >grin<

Thanks for the nice comments everyone

David—practice and desire is what is needed to develop pc skills. I’ve always been interested in pc’s … since the beginning or anyways …

-- work from your heart and your spirit will live forever

Thanks for your reply Dan. That makes sense.

You ought to get a lot of money for your best stuff!

-- Tom, Surfside Beach, SC - Romans 8:28

Beautiful Dan! Another true arts and crafts piece! You, sir a a master of many mediums!

Thanks everyone !

Hey Dan
Another show stopper I really like your framed tiles and this ones cool frame and wonderful tile is a great one.

-- Jim from Heirloom Woodshop Southern Oregon

Dan, thanks for posting this beauty. I love the juxtaposition of the texture in the tiles with the smoothness of the wood. This is Arts and Crafts style the way it was meant to be. Andy is right: this piece needs a wall and lighting all it’s own.
