On our site you will find several places where we state “We will be happy to redesign any of our pieces for you.”

Last week a couple visited our Gallery looking for a gift, but couldn’t find exactly what they wanted. They finally decided they wanted one purse design but with a different enamel color. Their question: “Is that possible, and if so how much more would it cost and how much extra time would it take to create?”
My answer: “We can do it for no extra cost and no extra time!”
The purse design they wanted: Elegance!
Another happy customer. (The husband told me, on the side, that he would be back right after Thanksgiving.)

Several years ago I had an opportunity to purchase some salvaged materials from a 100+ year old cypress column and beam warehouse. The warehouse was located on the banks of the Mississippi River in downtown New Orleans, just a few blocks from Canal Street. The cypress beams were put to good use on another project but I was left with a very large group of beautiful cast iron structural members.

I have hoarded these pieces for many years with the idea of a sculpture tucked in my head. Last week I brought my dream to fruition. I present to you my Cast Iron Sculpture. It is about eight feet tall, ten feet wide and weighs about three tons!
The Sculpture is located on the front lawn of our estate, and can be viewed from both the Gallery and the Studio. By the way, our facilities are open daily by appointment; drop by if you are ever in Cajun Country; view our extensive Gallery and watch the artisans at work in the Studio. I will personally guide you.
