These pieces of folk art are made in the little town of
Chamblee, Georgia, using salvaged bead board and antique ceiling tin, with a
few vintage doo-dads added to complete the image. They are decorative and
unique, good for the environment because they use reclaimed materials, good for
the economy since they are made in the USA and are good for you because they
will warm your heart with a smile.
The artist explains:
We have been committed to using
salvaged materials from the beginning for several reasons. But mostly because,
why would you buy some new wood and work for hours to try and create this same
old world charm with paint layers and sanding? It's a wonderful way to
repurpose salvaged wood and tin.

 |
| Painted Tin Frames ($59.95 each) |
Picture frames made from salvaged materials, like reclaimed
wood, antique bead board, used molding, ceiling tin and barn roofs create
rustic, down-home places for your family memories. These eco-friendly offerings
may not fit into the palette of some decorators, but they will easily fit into
your home.

| Hanging Angel ($119.00 each) |
 |
| Standing Angel ($165.00 each) |
These angels are made by layering antique wood to form the
robes and then attaching wings that are antique ceiling tin. The patina on the
reclaimed wood and antique tin is beautiful and each one is unique. These are
great for the holidays, of course, but we like to have them around all year
long.
