customer feedback
Note:  These comments were collected prior to my conversion to wholesale sales.  Previous to that, I sold my work in local gift shops, art fairs, and from this web-site.  Because my wholesale business has grown so rapidly, I have found it necessary to limit my sales to wholesale clients.


Hi Melissa,
I'm late letting you know both pieces arrived in
great shape, and I must say they are even
more charming when you see the details. They really do appear as if the birds themselves
crafted them, picking up bits and pieces. The only thing is I want the blue flower one too.
Your wrapping seems perfect, these nests deserve pretty wrapping.

Hi Melissa,
The bowl arrived this afternoon and I have to say I am thrilled with it!  It's so charming. I can't seem to keep my hands off of it. I keep picking it up and looking at all the colors and running my fingers over the tile pieces wondering whence they came from. And what fun to find a gold coin in the middle of the bowl, underneath your business card. I absolutely adore this and am so glad I bought that issue of Country Home!
sincerely,
M.G.




Dear Melissa,
I just picked up my silver bird bowl from the post office, and I am delighted with it! I have always been interes
ted in ceramics, and have a collection of American art pottery, like Weller, McCoy, Rookwood, and Roseville. I also have a decent collection of fine art, representing mostly Ohio artists, from landscapes to abstract pieces. Your bowl is such a wonderful "bridge" piece--it's a craft, and very folky, but the artistic expression is rich and individual. I love the fact that you don't make a true "picture" mosaic; the shards seem to be placed where the spirit of the piece and the shape, size, and color of the pieces and artifacts move you. The colors and spacing (even the grout color) are very "painterly". I also love your website, with the insights you provide
into the creative process.This is really good stuff, and I am thrilled to have found you. I also love the boxes and other forms you do, and hope you will do more of them....I will continue to watch for your offerings, and appreciate wherever your muse takes you. Thank you for a piece of art that makes me smile whenever I look at it.
R.H., Ohio


Dear Melissa
I just received my beautiful bowl and it is even more beautiful than the photos.  You do high quality work and I can't wait to show it to my daughters and friends.  Thank you so much for the special treatment and service.
I'll be watching your website for more of your work.

Hi Melissa, 
I received the frame yesterday.  Before ordering it, I had read messages from other customers of yours saying that the items they purchased were even more fabulous in person than on the web, and I felt the same way when I saw my frame.  I love it! 
 
Thanks,
Conni
