Custom made resin bases are the perfect addition to any sculpture! They are great protective layers to place under any coral base sculpture to avoid any scratching on your furniture and also add another layer of texture or shine! They are completely customizable -you can choose the size, shape, and color or texture you prefer to pair with your sculpture! See color option photo included to choose your perfect match.
"We have purchased several pieces of Melanie's artwork, two of them being large pieces that were collaboratively designed to commemorate a 31st wedding anniversary and a memorial marking the passing of a sister. In all cases Melanie's art was exquisite and her passion and technical prowess is on full display whether they are small, ornament type pieces or the larger more intricate work. Her art is truly museum worthy but also greatly enjoyed in the home and is within monetary reach of the average person.
What truly separates Melanie from most others is her humanity that translates into the glasswork. Both occasions where I commissioned a piece from Melanie she took the time and effort to actually understand not only what I wanted but why, in those instances the why was probably most important. Had Melanie not given me more than I could have hoped for in the anniversary piece I would not have marked the passing of my wife by having her recreate a dream my sister in law had in glass and coral.
Both times Melanie took the time to meet my family at her home/shop and make each person feel special during a very hard period.
Melanie is a brilliant and kind woman whose artistic talent is only eclipsed by how special a human being she is"- Tom P. - January, 2022
