Best of all, this artwork has functional purpose, with balustrades for safety, automated sensor gates for security, handrail for comfort when moving between the floors, and

Simply stunning wall hangings
Some new wall hangings have just hit the Art Shop that would be a perfect addition to any wall - either interior or exterior. All the works are made from recycled steel, and depict animals and scenes, from a lizard and a turtle to dancing brolgas.

The Marri tree appears to grow out of her patio, winding up two posts with a healthy canopy overhead. It is a real feature of her outdoor area and she is now looking forward to more entertaining in the space. Jalmer
