What makes his art pieces even more interesting than their fabulous designs is that Steve took his love of photography and pottery, and combined the two.

Believe it or not these are fully functional pinhole cameras. They have no lens, light meter, viewfinder, or automatic shutter, and yet they can produce gallery quality images. To see how Steve does it visit his website.

Amaze your friends at your next home event by taking a group picture with a beautiful ceramic accessory!

The gold flakes, the pearl-like pieces, and the other bug bling materials were provided by French artist and naturalist Hubert Duprat. The design itself is by the fly.

I thought these looked like works of art and deserving of a spot in the Crafter's Gallery.

I made it especially for the bar of a Mexican restaurant so that the bartenders would make lots of tips. When it sits on a lighted base behind the bar it really gets peoples attention. 

What bartender out there wants to double their tips?

It came out looking great with a flower pattern made of rich, dark reds and blues and when it's lit up from below in a dark pub, bartenders call it the "perfect tip jar."

To see more of her fantastic mosaic work check out her Melonheadgallery photostream on Flickr where I "discovered" her. I particularly like the way she uses circular shapes in her backgrounds. And of course her use of color is absolutely stunning! 

Thanks Laura for letting us share your arts crafts work with our LowCarb Crafter audience and crafters everywhere!

There were a couple of things that changed my mind about these particular garden lights; first that they were made by Westinghouse and second how easily they were assembled.

Place them around the garden or patio, give them a couple of sunny days to fully charge and enjoy the show. Sunlight re-charges them by day and they light automatically at night. Glass mosaic balls, illuminate up to eight hours on a single charge. Costs nothing to operate with a built-in nicad battery.

Very subtle, textured colors and changing patterns and I just couldn't help myself, they were just so doggone cool at night that I just had to make a video! They might not have been crafted by me but you should have these in your garden, at $39.95 for four of them that's too good a price to pass up.
