Castings & Carvings

Beauty, so they say, is in the eye of the beholder. Whatever the truth, in our humble opnion the beauty of some outdoor ’ornaments’ leaves a lot to be desired.

Whilst we are always looking for more, this gorgeous small selection represents the best we’ve found to date.

If you cannot find what you are looking for, please let us know.

We’ll try to help; unless you are looking for gnomes, in which case you’ve definitely come to the wrong place!

Rainbow Glass Wishstick

A spectacular piece of hanging glass that catches the light

£29.95

Jo Downs is a talented glass artist based in Cornwall. She makes large glass sculptures and wall art by layering many strands of beautifully coloured layered glass.

By accident, she invented the Wishstick, a spectacular piece of hanging glass that catches the light, but looks gorgeous even on a dull day.

Hang it near the house, in a tree or large shrub - catch the light and see the colours of the rainbow- we think the Wishstick is much better for the neighbours than a wind chime, anytime!

Comes ready to hang with a sturdy rope loop.
