| Above-6x12" Bread tray with Praying Hands motif done with Stewarts die. The Wheat design was applied with stamps and wire. This piece is the first time that I have combined the use of a die and my own stamped/wire art images. I made the wheat kernal stamp myself.The tray has a nice "Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread" feeling to it L. Gene Stewart loved the story behind the famous Durer drawing that he engraved the die. $40 |

| Above-Henry Mansfeld's masterpiece, the wonderful Art Nouveau stylized Adam and Eve. I am biased of course but I feel that is the best die engraving that I have ever seen. I think he perfectly captured the facial expressions of both Adam's pensive look and Eve's please eat the apple. It is very unusual and unique.As a flat plaque like the above, at 12"x20" it is $159, matted and framed. $199 |
| Top-8" star pillar candleholder with Christmas trees on the points. With a candle on it it looks adorable and festive. I am quite proud of this design. $28 Below that is a 6"x8" oval bowl with the Deer scene. I like this piece because it seems to fit so well on the tray. I love the design because it really is a miniature of a famous Arthur Armour Deer design that L. Gene Stewart used as a template. He admitted that he visited Arthur and liked the design so he made his own die. $25 (Also available on other items as well) |

| Above-6"x12" Bread tray with the Praying Hands and Dogwood designs. Both dies were used for this piece. Legend has it that the Crucifix that Christ was on was made of dogwood. The tree then was straight and strong and after the crucifiction God made the tree small and crooked so that it could never again be used for this purpose. $40 |
