IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 
    I keep seeing items on the Antique Road Show that people have
either found in
the trash or purchased for a small sum.  
All of the items on the table were free (except for the blue vase) including the
table that I reconstructed from the pieces. 
The blue vase is based on a  piece of Roseville pottery that is valued at
approximately $40,000(I'm not sure of the colors so I picked my own).
The Art Deco print was rescued form the trash by a dealer and my wife purchased
it for a small amount.The dog is from a
yard long print that  was given to my wife. 
     I probably wouldn't try to get the items even though they are free, because
the dog has pretty sharp teeth.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

Mostof the image was created with CSG.  THe tree was made from Gilles Tran's
tree macro and the colors added 
to the foliage file using Excel. The ledge that the lighthouse is on was created
from smooth triangles created 
in excel.
