More Garden

Every two months we hang a new show at Carolina Creations. We do this on the wall to the left as you walk in.

The new show for May & June is called "The Glorious Garden" and in addition to the wonderful paintings we have depicting flowers and gardens, we have some great sculpture for the garden.

The first photo shows Michael and David installing Steve Fabrico's tall garden totem. It is a FABULOUS piece!




We also have a small garden totem as well.

A few blog entries ago I talked about these great spinners with hand blown marbles. One marble is huge, about 4 1/2" across, and other about 1 1/4" across.
We have 2 fabulous cranes that stand about 5 feet tall, designed by Don Drumm and produced right here in North Carolina by Frances Vega.

From Stephen Kitras we have great huge glass balls for the garden and blown glass hummingbird feeders.

If I do say so myself it's a great show!!

Sculptures by Jeff Price

Welcome to our newest artist Jeff Price.

Just in, fabulous kinetic sculptures that creates a strong, unique, optical illusion as they rotate - it appears that the marbles are either rising or falling. They are 24" tall with a powder coated, baked on paint. Jeff blows the large marbles one at a time, each an original work of art.

The wind twirlers rotate in the wind if outside, if inside they are rotated by hand or with a battery operated spinner (available in the gallery).

Many buy them for the beauty of the large marble as much as for the illusion. A screw eye and a very strong string for hanging are also included, along with instructions.

The year Jeff was born was the year his father built his first glass-blowing studio in their back yard. Both of Jeff's parents blew glass for many years. From an early age he would watch them with wonderment. They were having such great fun that he knew he wanted to blow glass when he "grew up."

Jeff has his own state-of-the art glass blowing studio with an electric furnace ( to provide the cleanest and brightest glass), two glory holes, an iridizing unit, grinding and polishing equipment.
