This Carmel-by-the-Sea home, owned by a hot glass sculptor, forged-copper blacksmith and stainless-steel MIG welder, has his pieces installed throughout the grounds. Many artisans, who are represented by Carmel galleries, also have their creations perched amongst the twisting oak limbs, bamboo and wisteria as well as under numerous awnings.

Costarino's owner, a Bay Area Glass Institute (BAGI) and Crucible artist who has traveled extensively in Tibet, Papua New Guinea and Madagascar, enjoys bringing to life the many sounds, colors and textures experienced from his travels in over 70 countries.

The following Carmel-by-the-Sea galleries represent many of the sculptors, galleries and artisans whose works are on display:

A stainless steel dragonfly warms its wings in the sun from Anderle of Carmel.   One of two wise Chinese dragons with whiskers guard their domain from the eaves of Costarino. Found in the Secret Garden.   A crab holds tight onto a fence post as it digs its way out from the sand.   A horned-back beetle trundles along the fence.   A copper bell affixed with a bent wrought iron nail adorns the inside of Costarino's historic gate.   A South East Asian knocker adorns the interior gate to the home's dog kennel - from Conway of Asia.   A bird nests quietly in the crook of a large oak tree.   . A Carmel historic gate, from the lot's original home, discovered in an overgrown laurel hedge.   A bronze moth crawls up the fence from amongst the leaf litter.

A bat hangs from either side of the garage. A moss-covered birdhouse swings in the sea breeze.     Overgrown carved wooden mushrooms and a large leaf acorn sprout near the front oak.     A patina'ed bumblebee soaks up the sun by Costarino's paparazzi gate.     An Ohm symbol carved into slate greet visitors on the stone paths leading to Costarino - from Aslan's Garden.     A dragonfly rests on the front fence.     A preying mantis overlooks the grounds from a roof ridge line.
