Just before TileFest, I got these happy customer photo from NJ. They had just finished installing the Garden Fantasy Tower in Bernadette’s backyard. If you remember, the tower went together like a breeze, but I had a few false starts with the base. Then it was ArtWalk, Christmas, and cold weather up there. In early 2023 I shipped the tiles for the bottom, but NJ was still quite cold. Leslie Goldman, the artist who recommended me for the job, had it installed for Mother's Day. It was a day of “ta-da” moments and great excitement.
There is no right way to have a ta-da moment. Customer Bernadette on the left, and fellow artist Leslie Goldman on the right.
Hi, Marina,
Leslie & John finished installing the Tower today.
It is awesome! As well as being a great ceramic artist, you must be part engineer to have made everything fit together so well.
I would be hard-pressed to name my favorite part of the structure. Every side is a delight. The more I look, the more I see and love.
I'm attaching a photo taken right after the completed installation. Both Leslie and I have photos and videos. I plan to put mine in an online folder and will send you a link when it's ready for viewing.
Thank you so much for agreeing to take on such a big project. I'm fortunate that Leslie is your friend and made the connection.
Warmest regards, Bernadette
Here, Leslie and the installer John, are placing the last tile block and finial over a treated post. The tower is safely and securely in place.
