Vintage Halloween Style FirePlace Screen

I was asked about the source of the fireplace screen in the image at the top of this blog. It was made by Bruce over at HalloweenLanterns.com click here to go to the fireplace screen page. His work is worth every penny. He cuts everything by hand! I own 2 screens and 4 lanterns that hold a place of honor in my displays each year. He also has a full scan of the entire page of the Ladies Home Journal images I have been sharing with you in sections. Its under Treats.

I love this man's website. He is so talented. I know I could draw this but don't know that I could execute cutting it out. His 1919 Ladies Home Journal lay-out was absolutely delicious, so inspiring! Your screen is also perfection. He is hard to find now. Betty L.

Is there another link/website where I may contact him for a fireplace screen?

Thanks
