Ocean-related in-home art

Rate this Entry
I met a local artist at Dallas Comic Con events two years ago, and discovered she used to be in the saltwater hobby herself. Lhars Ebersold does some beautiful work, some of which I've shared from her Instagram account from time to time. This is her.



I hired her to create some special light switch and outlet covers to dress things up here at Melev's Reef, and she did an incredible job. Here are some pictures.



She arrived today with all these cover plates carefully packed from the trip cross town, and brought along paint brushes, paint, jars... you'll see why in a second.

I removed all the old plates, and installed the new ones where each one belonged. She then painted each screw head so they blend in, out of sight.







The guest bath that all visitors use got similar treatment...



Notice the human canvas board she uses. And maybe you'll recognize something else?







In the above picture, there are four switches. Two are lights, one is a vent and one is a heater. I asked her to come up with a creative way to mark the heater and vent fan. The octopus tentacle brings the heat, and the clam represents the vent (since they siphon water). Very cool!

The dining area has a new cover plate too.







I really love these, in case I didn't mention it yet.

Got one for another bathroom.





Here's a standard outlet cover plate near the 60g Anemone Cube.



When you leave, you'll spot another octopus on the way out.



If you like what you see, you can contact Lhars and order through her Etsy shop here: Etsy.com/shop/gorgondreams

    Aaaaa yes, I did notice the "something else". Earth, Wind, Fire, Water... so does that make Lhars the Fifth Element? Fantastic art work on those face plates. Thanks for sharing.

    Nice job! No-one else said a thing but it was actually a really cool tattoo in person.
