Hi Daily Grommet! I'm delighted to be here today. I love making pieces like our Colored Mirror from the beautiful willow I gather. Where I live in Ohio, the marsh lands and creek banks have been an ideal area for the cultivation of Black Willow. Mu...
Hi Rick, I love that you are using black willow trees for your mirrors! They are very sustainable because they are native to North America and are fast-growing and plentiful trees. I like how you paint the wood in vibrant, upbeat colors but the na...
@ Pat A. thanks for your kind words and suggestion about close-ups. All great input! Also, just wanted to be sure you knew that you can see the larger image by double-clicking on the mirror. ...
@jackie- I just got off the phone with Rick, he is at a show and hopes to check in later, and he said he can customize the mirror by color palette and by size. Just measure your space and get him the dimensions and color scheme. Pricing will vary w...
Oolala!!! Rick, your grommet is a real wow piece. I had the opportunity to see it in person and admire your craftsmanship. I like how you designed it to be playful, yet balanced. Also, I saw how you mixed in a hint of metallic within in your vivid co...
I really am enjoying this site Daily Grommet. My sister recently told me about it. I have one suggestion, though, would love to be able to zoom in to see more detail of the mirror (similar to what LL Bean has) or even real closeup photos....

Twigging Out
Have you even taken a walk in the woods or along the shore and picked up an unusual stone or shell or piece of driftwood to take home? Well if you have, you and Rick and Denise Pratt are on the same page.
Rick, owner of a nine acre farm in Wooster Ohio, began collecting fallen Willow twig sapling branches, and as inspiration took over, he started fashioning furniture, shelving, and chairs from the Willows. He mixed in other found objects like metal, wood, stones, copper, and old barnboard, and his wife Denise added whimsy with bold color, and before they knew it, Around the Bend Willow Furniture became their life and their love. “A traditional and contemporary blend of furnishings for the home and garden,” is their trademark.
Today’s Grommet, a one-of-a-kind mirror, is hand-built and of a unique design. Rick’s finds have turned into a housewarming gift, wedding present, or Father’s Day gift that will be treasured forever.
