Natural Edged Monkey Puzzle bowls

Natural Edged Trumpet Vases
These little vases are made from small logs upto 4 inches in diameter. I leave the top natural and often slightly offset it to give them more appeal. As I use only small logs I can often use unusual and interesting garden prunnings. They have a narrow stem to give them an elegant look but are not hollowed in the base as the weight gives them stabillity. There are 9 pieces in this gallery |

I will confirm whether the peice is still available and send you details of payment, shipping etc. I will then hold the peice, pending your reply, for 24 hours. As a general rule I can take Visa, Master Card etc but for your security (as I do not at this time have a secure server) it is best for you to post me your card details via "Snail Mail" once a sale has been agreed. Although primitive my bank assure me that this is their preferred option after SSL. I can take cheques but these will need to be in GBPS. If you like my style of work, if you have a peice in mind that you would like commisioned, or if you run a shop/gallery and would like to stock my work then please Email me at greg(at)moreton.co.uk. Much of my work is available from my stall at Craft fairs and Exhibitions in the UK. If you are ever near Guildford, Surrey in the UK then you should visit The Surrey Guild of Craftsmen Shop in Milford, where you will find my work as well as that of many other fine Artists and Craftsmen available for purchase. |
