Mosaic Monday - Mosaic Peace Sign

Mosaic Peace Sign

 

Materials: dish tiles, glass gems
 

Height: 8 inches
Width: 8 inches

Another groovy peace sign created in retro cool dish tiles. Flowers in orange, yellow and white hand cut dish tiles surround this 8 inch peace sign and we think it's bright and colorful!

Perfect for anyone, any room, any time of year, all year long.

Grouted and sides and back painted in a complementary color, this has such an awesome retro look to it, a style we especially love.

Many people love peace signs; all ages seem to gravitate toward this sign. It never goes out of style and is always contemporary as well as nostalgic. Gift this to your tween, your grandmother, your boss, your 30-something daughter. Gift yourself. Just because.

A keyhole notch in the back makes this mosaic ready to hang.

Celebrate the gift of peace!

Indoor use only.

Theme Thursday - Holiday Decor

It's a little early for me to even begin to think of holiday shopping but in a few weeks it'll be all I think about! Here are a few items from my shop that are holiday oriented. Just in case, like me, you're going to be looking for something unique and genuinely handmade with love.

 

Personally, I love the stained glass plate the most and am featuring it first.

 

You can find these and a few other holiday items listed so far in the folder marked: Winter Holiday Shop in my Etsy shop.

WIP Wednesday - Gazing Ball and Refrigerator Woes

This has been an unusual week for me. My fridge/freezer here in the attic decided it's no longer going to work. I had to cook everything from the freezer that I could and tossed out quite a bit of food. Since I was raised by depression era people, you know that was almost painful to do. The good news is I have the means to get another fridge/freezer almost identical to what I had and to fill it up pretty well with fresh food once it arrives. Life is definitely challenging but it's all good!

 

What the above means for me is no mosaic time. Once things settle again, I'll have new work to share. However, here's where I left off ...

 

The last time I shared this gazing ball here on my blog it was very close to finished. It's now resting comfortably, waiting patiently for me to grout it all in black.

I really like the different tesserae I used here but it will be a bit of a challenge to grout because none of it is the same thickness. I run across that a lot and sometimes the sides of the dish tiles stay ungrouted just because there's nothing for the grout to grab a hold of. Usually it works out okay and isn't too obvious but sometimes it can bug me for a really long time until I try to do something to fix it.

Here's hoping I am okay with it, once it's grouted, because I'd like to put this in my Etsy shop.

 

Tomorrow is Theme Thursday. I'm really enjoying tying the theme to the Fabulous Friday posts. I hope you enjoy them too.

Mosaic Monday - Blue Glass Mosaic Flower Dish

Blue Glass Mosaic Flower Dish

 

Materials: tempered glass, glass circles

Dimensions: Height: 8 Inches
 

Flower petal plate in spring pastel blue with tempered or crash glass, half circles in iridescent glass and grouted in white. The flower is similar to a hibiscus in shape. Note: see the photo of the back to see it on the website. The plate has an iridescent shimmer to it. Adding the tempered glass to it makes the shimmer still come through.

Makes a great gift for Mom, sister, aunt. This plate is purely decorative. Add it to a shelf or a side table near a window and let the sun do it's magic. You can put your keys, rings and coins in it however the metals over time will change the color of the grout. Grout whitener found in many stores will help keep it fresh.

Measures 8 inches. Plate stand included.

Indoor use only.

 

$50.00 USD - FREE SHIPPING (USA ONLY)

WIP Wednesday - Gazing Ball

I've been working fairly steadily on the gazing ball this week. It's coming along very nicely and should be resting in the "to be grouted" pile very soon.

It's going to look fantastic with black grout on it! Can't wait to see it become a finished mosaic. This will be available on my Etsy shop soon (this is for indoor use only due to the glue I used).

Tesserae Tuesday - Scrap Glass Mosaics

As many of you might already know, I LOVE scrap glass mosaics. Taking tiny pieces of glass is something I like to do anyway but putting them altogether in a cool way makes me really happy. The results look great when used on glass-on-glass projects but just as cool on MDF. Below are just a few of my scrap glass mosaics I've done over the years. All are in private collections or have been sold.
