The Gilt Studio

Touch of Magic!

“Hocus Pocus, Shazam”!

The Gilt Studio custom designed and handcrafted 14 of these Gilt Hands and Gazing Ball centerpieces as party decoration for the Junior League of Houston’s annual Charity Ball Fundraiser event. This year’s theme was “Abracadabra”, a nod to Old World Witch Craft and Wizardry.

As though invited to gaze into your fortune teller’s Crystal Ball, these sculptures are of Gilt Plaster Hands gilded with Dutch Metal Gold Leaf and plaster molds, cast from my very own hands! In turn, with the help of my AMAZING crew, we leveled and mounted each hand onto recycled slabs of Marble and Granite positioned to pedestal the illusive gazing ball high for all to ponder… Who?! What?! When?! Where?! Why?!…

It was a very elegant and, from what I hear, successful event to which we are delighted to have been able to contribute!

Congratulations Junior League of Houston and many thanks to my crew: Mom, Aunt Kathy, Mosettee, and Ross!
