Large Sconce Style
Each sconce is approximately 12" tall x 6" wide at top
If using live plants in your sconce, I recommend a small amount of sphagnum moss placed in the bottom above the drain hole.
Fill the rest of the sconce with potting soil and your favorite plant;
or fill with orchid bark mix and a dazzling orchid plant.
Each hand-built, glazed ceramic sconce has an hole at upper back for a screw, nail, etc. so you can hang it in your favorite location.

These are the latest projects. So new, in fact, that the sconces shown here have not had their final firing yet. Look for these and more in the "Florida shore bird/flamingo" series coming soon.
Gnomes!!
No, these are not Sconces, but they are one of our latest creations so I thought I would feature them here until they get their own tab. They are approximately 10 inches tall and around 9 to 10 inches wide. Like many of the sconces, some of these are sold out...but we can always make more. They are heavy, durable and will not fade if placed outside on a patio, garden walk or greeting your guests at your front door.
My personal favorite, "The Chicken Farmer."

On second thought, maybe this is my favorite, "The Veggie Gardener."
