DIY Network just posted their Holiday Gift Guide for the 2006 holiday season. I'm pretty pleased to have been included in the web supplement for the DIY Holiday Wish List. Follow the link for air times of the show.

Both the Great Bowl O Fire and Blaze O Glory Brazier are listed as gift suggestions for the landscape artist on your shopping list.

The Great Bowl O Fire didn't end up on the TV show due to the logistics of shipping, but it's nice to be included on the web site.

If you're looking for a more affordable gift suggestion with the same recycled style, check out the Pot-de-Feu Grill.

Do you have questions or comments?

About John

If my job as an artist is to fill the world with "more things," I feel it is equally important that I reclaim materials from the waste stream to make space for my work. — John T. Unger

I believe creative re-use has the potential to spark new ways of looking at the world… if one thing can be turned into another, what else can we change? Successful recycled art encourages creativity in others— it's alchemical, magical, subversive, and transformative by nature. Read On

Each Eternal Flame Sculpture is a one of a kind sculpture that will never be repeated. Although their bright colors and cheerful look could fool you, they are made from 100% recycled steel. The Eternal flames are an open edition of sculpture— each is signed and numbered, but there is no predetermined limit to how many I'll make. They're too cool to limit to a set number.

Each Fire Imp Sculpture is a signed and numbered, one of a kind sculpture that will never be repeated.There are 100 each in Natural Steel, Red, Yellow, Orange, White and Black.

Part of what makes the Fire Imps fun is the freeze frame of pattern, rhythm, lyricality and syncopation that gives them a musical feel… combined in groups, they resemble a musical score as much as a group of dancers. The shadows they cast are also a part of the piece, doubling or distorting the form, mirroring the sculpture on the wall.
