Garden Art

As a designer I like to add little one of a kind details to every set and my home is full of them.  I pretty much re-purpose everything.  This was an antique mail box I inherited a few years ago from a friend.  It was on the wall in three of my apartments in three different cities collecting bills.  The house I live in now has a great backyard so I decided to transform the mailbox into a planter and attach to our rustic garden shed. 
 
This was a glass container meant to be used as a vase or for candles and today I turned it into a terrarium.  I'm pretty stoked, now I just need to find a place in my room for it...

This is an old turn table that I converted into garden art with tiny succulents in recycled glass jars.  My favorite part is that it spins.
 

I heart the art film!

Stills from 'Scat Players" an art film I Set Dec'd in August based on six paintings by German Expressionist Otto Dix.  
  
So much work, but so much fun.
 
Soto Stages where we built an apartment set, club set, and cafe set. 
 
Studio Apartment set, definitely my favorite.  So many little details. 
 
Club Ext., we added an extreme dose of grit and grime to the Ivar.  Lots of fun with spray paint and stenciling. 
 
Basement room.  Another fun set to dress. 
Cafe set
