Wednesday - What Day?

 I said last week that I'd share some of my newest doodles. Please understand the late night doodles are just rambling, random things. But I'll share them anyway because it's part of who I am.

This doodle took over a month to do. I didn't work on it every day but when I did it was hours at a time. I think eventually I might get a frame for it.

 

These are the late night doodles. The 3 AM, I can't sleep doodles. I have some things on my mind, so I understand it. I don't understand why it has to be at 3 AM, however.

These last few are odd, even for me. Depression is around me but not part of me. I see it in many people I love right now and I am worried about them. That is the first thought I had about depression: "Depression is contagious - wear a brain mask." As if that's all it would take. Wouldn't that be great?! The second, is a reminder not exactly to myself but to those who are suffering or unhappy right now: "Life can be beautiful - enjoy this moment." Meaning, all we have is NOW. Use that information, remind yourself of it and also check on yourself, to see how you're doing a few times a day if you are blue, sad, depressed, uninspired or feeling isolated. How are you, right this moment?

Mosaic Monday - Mosaic Flower Pattern Plate

Mosaic Flower Pattern Plate, Trivet, Candle Holder, Mosaic Plate, Flower Art, Dish Shard Art, Great Gift, Housewarming, Mothers Day

 

 Hand cut dish tiles were used to create a pretty pink and green flower with an even prettier pink flower in the center, surrounded by white.

This ordinary plate was once just like all its sisters and brothers ... a dark blue rim just like all the others. It was used and purposeful, but it felt it was missing something. It wanted to be something else ... but what?!

Now this plain old plate has a new purpose: to spread the joy of handmade mosaic art wherever it goes. Gift it, keep it, it doesn't matter what you do with it but you must, by all means, enjoy it. The photos on my website show the work put into the mosaic as a work-in-progress and as a finished piece of art.

Place this in a stand on a table in any room in your home. Could be used flat on a table or other surface as a candle holder, a coaster, a decorative accent. Not recommended for food.

Do not place in the dishwasher, however, it can be rinsed in warm water. Wipe with a clean cloth. If you need to use soap, use a mild one. This is to make sure it won't cause the grout to crack and chip off.

I love recycling old dull plates and making art with them. Using a plate that already has a nifty frame around it, as these plates do, makes it easy and fun to create my mosaic designs. I will never tire of finding new ways to use old things destined for the trash.

The plate itself measures close to 7 inches, the design inside the plate is about 6-1/2 inches.

Stand included.

Indoor use only.

Wednesday - What Day?

Wednesday - What Day? Means I want to share things but I'm not sure exactly what. So, until I know, Wednesday's are going to be devoted to different things each week, probably. There's a possibility posts might not even happen some weeks. 

This week, I thought I'd share the sales I've had since the beginning of the year. They are all exciting and much appreciated. I'm grateful to any customer who takes the time to write a short note or review after they've received their mosaic. You can read reviews through my Etsy shop.

 Here are the mosaics sold, oldest to newest.

Purchased in January, this Mosaic Switch Plate has Stained Glass, Van Gogh Glass and ball chain. I call it "Fire Star". Nifty, right?!

 

Purchased in February, this Green Apple Mosaic Wall Art made a new customer very happy. I learned she too is a mosaic artist. That makes it even more special! This design was based on a bowl I put mosaic in many years ago and use often as my logo.

Next up, purchased in March, this Mosaic Gazing Ball, "Peace, Love and Happiness" went to a customer in Texarkana. It has a peace sign, a heart and a flower on it. Very unique and many hours of gluing and patiently waiting for it to dry so it could be turned. I love sending these mosaics out throughout the USA. I say a grateful prayer as I send them on their way each time. This Gazing Ball was a especially fun to make.

 

 

And last, was a sale I got this week on Tuesday. The newest peace sign to join the shop. They never stay around for very long. Not that I'm complaining! Made with pieces of scrap glass, mirror and Millefiori and is 6 inches in size.

 

And that's it for now. Next Wednesday I'm sure I'll have something else to share. Maybe doodles because I've been doing them a lot at the moment.

Mosaic Monday - Stained Glass Moon Phases

Mosaic Stained Glass Moon Phases, Vase, Bohemian, Mosaic Vase, Candle holder, Boho Art, Hippie, Wedding, Anniversary, Birthday, Mothers Day 

 

This mosaic stained glass moon phases vase is truly a work of art. Each side has a phase of the moon's progress as it cycles throughout a month. The moon is done in iridescent white glass. The top is a beautiful deep blue, the center is in a bright orange and the bottom is in an even deeper purple. Place this near a light source or use as a candle holder to see the colors distinctly.

I think this would make anyone who loves moon art very happy. Use it in conjunction with the phases of the moon, turning it each time a new phase comes. Fill it with flowers in the center of a table or alter.

Gift to a best friend for their birthday. Makes a great wedding gift. Anyone who has a meditation practice with an alter would love this. WE love this! <3

DO NOT SUBMERGE IN WATER.

Measures 8 x 3 inches

Indoor use recommended. Can be used outdoors but do not leave in weather; rain or temperature changes. This is not weather-proof.

$80.00 USD - FREE SHIPPING (USA ONLY)
