• http://www.ritagpatel.etsy.com (etsy shop is for her artwork, not the art tubs I am writing about - still worth a look - very beautiful) rita g. patel - this woman's work is phenomenal! I don't even know how to describe it. Think giant size hope chest made of metal, decorated with embedded objects, bottom filled with what looks like resin/acrylic/glass with other bead type things within, lids made of metal and fused glass that look like giant leaves, and even the bottoms have a painting on them! Unfortunately, no website for those - but you really should see...the email on her card is: rita@svasara.com. She says she makes them in any size & has even just made the lids which people have used as wall art. oh yeah - she also has journals and stationary ...
