The "Zebra-Cow" and the whimsy looking "Corn" with different color kernels and even some in gold! These sculptures were made at our Former Ceramic Co., but designed by famous Ecuadorian artist, Gonzalo Endara Crow. He also used to make these sculptures, gigantic, for parks and malls. He used to paint a "Magical Realism"...hence, the zebra-cow and corn and many incredible sculptures he created. I used them to represent the earth's crops and the animals.
I found the globes at my daughters' rooms and so I worked around them...I wrote about them at the end of the pics..and I will give them to my granddaughters next time. Here is another angle of the cow, she also has hooves, horns and teats in gold..lol
The globes are so cute on top of the champagne flutes.. and I'm so glad I remember them and found them!
This strange looking fern is so interesting. Here they call it; "hand-fern", because it resembles long hands with long fingers.
The Corn ear on a platter with all the terrific color kernels, plus gold ones too, by Ecuadorian Artist, Gonzalo Endara Crow. You can look him up, he's paintings went for $20,000 and more, depending on the size. We inherited a medium size one from my Mil and I love it so. The artist died in the late 90's with cancer...at around 55 years old.
I shopped home and found these cute leaves, napkin rings.
The Zebra-Cow.
I found on a drawer four of these pretty silver leaves, so I thought they'd be just perfect for my Earth Day Table scape.
Another shape of a leaf.
Another leaf.
I wasn't going to make an Earth Day table scape, first of all because I've never made one before and also cause I just didn't know where to begin... and then all of a sudden it dawned on me that my daughters had some small world-globes laying around some where in their "youth" rooms..and sure enough I FOUND them! Therefore, around these three world-globes I started my table scape specially for LET'S DISH at Cuisine Kathleen, as this was the theme she chose for this week's party. So..here you have it, not as great as some of yours, but I made it!
I also would love to point out that in our town, here in Cuenca-Ecuador, we've been RECYCLING since more than ten years ago!
As always, thank you so much for your generous and lovely comments you always leave me. Of course, many, many thanks to the wonderful hostesses and terrific parties I will be joining. Starting at Let's Dish at Cuisine Kathleen.

Oh, my dear friend....tablescapes are definitely your forte. No one comes close to yours, in my opinion! Amazing. Just amazing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun table! Love the zebra cow and the little globes! Thank you also for you kind comments on my blog post about my father passing away. I appreciate it very much!
ReplyDeleteFabby!!! This is a fabulous table. I had to keep my eyes off the backdrop, and then I was smitten with the art. Those pieces are really stunning. I love the napkin rings. Using the globes was a fabulous touch.. so pretty. xo marlis
ReplyDeleteLove the globes....what a great size they are. How fun your gatherings for Earth day are.
ReplyDeleteGreat tablescape! Love the arrangement. You did a fantastic job bringing it all together.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Vee
The globes were the perfect inspiration for your tablescape, and I love the multi-colored corn on the cob...great piece! Thanks for inviting us for a peak. Cherry Kay
ReplyDeleteOh Fabby, I love your tablescape. The globes are so cute, what a fun idea. Love the corn too. Great table. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous table. I love the corn in the centerpiece and the napkin rings and little globes. Of course, your entire apartment is so beautiful. xo
ReplyDeleteWhat a great tablescape!! I love the globes and the corn...so neat!!! It is a rare art to turn a table into something fantastic..I so don't have that knack! Happy VTT
ReplyDeleteFabby, what a great table! I love the zebra and napkin rings, but I'm madly in love with the colorful corn. The globes were adorable. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHi Fabby!
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic! I LOVE those little globes! They are wonderful "AND" so is your zebra cow. I think SHE made your table "POP"! OK now for the corn. WOW, that is so different and artful! You are going to have "LOTS of fun" decorating with it. AND I'll bet your granddaughters LOVE IT!
Your fern also looks like a "staghorn fern"??? Is it related to it???
Thank you for inviting us in!
LOVED EVERY DETAIL!
Big Hugs to you,
Donna
Fabby,
ReplyDeleteYour table looks worldly and grand. I love the globes in the glasses. Wonderful for an Earth Day Tablescape.
Pat
Your earth day tablescape is perfect, Fabby. I love the cow and corn, they bring so much whimsy to the table and the globes are a great touch....Christine
ReplyDeleteFabby!
ReplyDeleteI just love your mini globes, how cute those are!! I have never seen painted corn or a zebra cow before, you always have such interesting items for us to see.
Your tablescape turned out just lovely!
I didn't know about the Earth Day party in time to do something specifically for today but, I did link my Seashell tablescape, it seems to work. :)
Have a wonderful night my friend!
(hugs)
Aledia
Now that a fun table!
ReplyDeleteI think you have done a wonderful work of joy using what you have at hand, and using it well. I would never have thought to use small globes like that. I also noticed the wonderful view out your window at night, with the lights twinkling as if they were there just to be a backdrop for your tea.What a wondrous view you have.
ReplyDeleteI love how you used the globes! Very creative for Earth Day! Your tables are always lovely.
ReplyDeleteFabby - your table is totally fabulous !! What a fortunate person you are to have been involved in such a creative endeavor as the ceramics company. Love the cow and corn sculptures!! The small globes were the perfect touch - home run!!
ReplyDeleteI love your Earth Day tablescape. I love those little globes. Aren't they cute?
ReplyDeleteIt took me a minute to figure out what that ear of corn was (before I started reading). It looks like a colorful little "tree". And that zebra cow....well, who would ever think of that? Just cute!
I love the view of the lights outside your windows, Fabby. What a spectacular show at night with everything all lit up.
You did a great job with all your lovely pieces here- xo Diana
You certainly do the best table settings,this one is very unusual
ReplyDeletex
Perfectly wonderful Earth Day table, Fabby.
ReplyDeleteWhat a creative tablescape you have made for "Earth Day". The cow/zebra is so unique and interesting...and your girls' little globes are perfect for the theme, too!! With that lovely piece
ReplyDeleteof art in the form of an ear of corn, and the silver leaves, you have certainly pulled everything together so well...including the plant with the "hands with long fingers"!! I am always amazed with how you come up with such inovative
objects that tell the story of the
theme...but then, you have the "eye" of an artist, so you SEE
things faster than most of us!!
Thank you for sharing in this lovely tablescape, they are always "over-the-top" and interesting.
Have a happy weekend coming up
Fond hugs and love, Francy
Fabby, glad you did join in with this table. It's perfect! Love the idea of the mini globes. They add a clever touch.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining me at Home Sweet Home!

ReplyDeleteDon't sell yourself short Fabby! This table is just beautiful and is very fun with the Zebra Cow and the globes! I love the multi colored corn!
ReplyDeleteI'd love it if you shared at my new Tuesday link party starting April 24th!

Fabby, it's beautiful. I luv the use of different contrasts!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful depiction of Earth Day! The zebra cow is wonderful! I always love your tablescapes.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! I just love the way you used the gloves. Beautiful table. Love your dishes and those pretty napkin rings.
ReplyDeleteOh Fabby, your table scape for Earth day is stunning! Your attention to the little details has really worked so well here. Your table is beautiful and vibrant.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Terri
OK...I was cool with the Zebra-Cow's gold hooves and horns, but the gold teets kind of backed me up a couple of steps!!! That's so wild!!! The Zebra-Cow is so cool, though, as is the corn. So sad that the artist died so young. How tragic! I think they're both very imaginative pieces! I think it's neat that you incorporated the miniature globes into the 'scape. Very cool! Beautiful dishes, too!!!
ReplyDeleteCute idea with the globes. So interesting about the artist -- I have never seen anything like either of those pieces.
ReplyDeleteI still think that marble topped table is one of the prettiest ever.
I love the corn! Great Earth Day table, Fabby. The zebra cow is amazing, what a fun piece.
ReplyDeleteYour table is very inviting.
ReplyDeleteFabby this is a wonderful and tremendously interesting table. The corn is amazing--I couldn't stop looking at it. And the little globes were perfect for the theme. So glad I stopped by. Happy Earth Day. Linda
ReplyDeleteYour Earth Day table is lovely, Fabby. You are so creative and have so many beautiful accoutrements that your tables are always worth seeing.
