In The Studio

How's the summer going for everyone? I hope you had a great July 4th!

It's been busy here in the studio. Last night I finished up the 11th mosaic switch plate cover. Woo-hoo!

Here they are, from 1 to 11 all waiting for the next fun part, grout!












Whew. I hope the customer likes them.

Next up in the custom order are the vases. I was going to stop the plates in the middle and start on a vase but my OCD wouldn't allow it. I had to finish getting glass on all of them before I could start in on the next thing. I thought breaking it up a bit would give me the artistic freedom I needed to come up with some fresh ideas for each mosaic. However, I stared blankly at a vase shortly after I finished the 5th switch plate cover and knew I had to keep going until they were completed.

I did work on the doll during the last week of June and got the back of the body worked on a little bit.


I'm not sure when I'll pick her up again. But she'll wait for me. Mosaics are quite patient.

I grouted the candle holder/vases and the crescent moons plus got them listed on Etsy. That's it for me with listings on Etsy now until I make another sale.



My Celestial Wall Gallery is looking really groovy right now!
I've also been adding 3 pendants a day to my shop on Storenvy. It pains me not to list them on Etsy too but it's just not in the budget right now.


All the links to all my shops and other social media sites I visit daily are shared here to the right. --->

Stay peaceful,

Thank you so much, Duni. I think everyone should have at least ONE mosaic switch plate cover, don't you?! :)
