About John: When you meet John, you'll know immediately that he can create what you have in mind. His "can-do" attitude is infectious. This is his first Gem Show, even though he's been a full-time artist, steel designer, and faux finisher for the last 12 years. To call him a faux finisher is to perhaps diminish his skills, which seem to cover just about everything in interior and exterior design. When Arizona Bead Dog arrived, promptly at 10 a.m., he had just sold two lamps. He can create anything you envision (think Desert Museum faux landscaping, for example) with virtually any materials you want, although he enjoys working with steel best. He says it's a forgiving material that is incredibly versatile. Check out his website (click on link above) for more info.
(John's work is located between Eons Ago ammonites and Sahara tents.)
