Leslie's suns- table size and for the wall

Mini flowers and wall pieces

We are well known for our standing sculptures, which we still make and sell, however we have added mini sculptures and wall pieces to our repertoire.

Having our store in Key West and serving a traveling clientele who we shipped to regularly, alerted us to the fact that pieces that easily fit in a suitcase like the mini's and smaller wall pieces do, were an attractive alternative for easier, more economic transport, .
Our customers also requested pieces for the wall and more affordable pieces, which is why we have developed the mini-size sculptures for a table-top. All of our work is available for sale without the stem and base, with a wire added for hanging indoor or outside on a patio, pool, or deck wall.

The top photo shows a collection of the mini flowers that we do, and a mini cat at far left.





Also shown, in middle photo above, a wall fish. They come in sizes from tiny, 9 inches to as big as a customer wants. The one shown is approximately 24 inches long.
Bottom photo- Wall sun by Markel. This one is large- about 30inches x 30 inches. We also do these much smaller and much larger.

The mini's

This is a new item for us. Mini sculptures, each one original, hand-painted by Markel and Leslie. They replace the paper print line that we once did and that were approximately the same size, 10inches- 24 inches tall. The prints were xerox copies of our original work which were flat, applied to metal and then embellished.
We like these a lot better and they are all original.
Retail prices range from $65 - $95.

Florida trip- Fall 2006

Markel in the backyard of our friend's house in Naples. We took a fast trip to Florida to make a million bases to leave at the galleries that carry us in Florida.
This mermaid is on sale at Sanibel, Florida's Island Style Gallery.

purplebabydaddies: More Mirrors

More mirrors in a larger size.
We can do them any size!

purplebabydaddies: new 3-D cats

New cats....made of fiberglass bodies (instead of flat metal), they can still be placed outdoors. Bodies formed by markel and painted by leslie

purplebabydaddies: new 3-D mermaids

Markel has done it again....another development, that started with the fish and suns and will probably extend to everything he designs.

The once flat metal mermaids have taken on form, built with fiberglass bodies, they are very strong and suitable for outdoor placement.
On these particular mermaids, Markel built the forms, Leslie painted them....though it isn't always the case, we don't have a set formula for the design work which we divide between us....


A red head and a blonde, both full of spice and vinegar.
