Mosaic Monday

Happy Mosaic Monday! Usually I share what I've worked on over the weekend, but it is a gift that has not yet been gifted. So, instead, I thought I'd share an old mosaic I've loved for a very long time.

This is one of the mosaic shrines I made. I never wrote the date on it because almost the entire thing is covered in a mosaic. As best as I can tell from photos I have, I created it in 2016. That sounds about right, so I'm going with that.

Taking an old unused jewelry box belonging to a granddaughter, I started adding mosaic to it. I drew out a design I recall but ended up wrapping it all over it entirely, inside, outside, both sides and top and bottom as well.

I call it "Sun Shrine in a Box".

I had put this shrine on Etsy to sell shortly after making it and this was the cool photo collection I made to show all the mosaic on it. It is no longer for sale. It is priceless.

 





Stained glass, mirror, dish shards, tempered glass, ball chain, and lots of pieces of jewelry were added. With a wooden finial at the top.



This shows the mosaic work I did on the back, one side and the bottom.

One of my favorite photos showing the inside with all the jewelry along the top. All this mosaic work is inside and out.

I'm not a fan of flash photography but I like this shot.
 

Hope you enjoyed visiting this mosaic shrine with me. It's one of my all-time favorites I've made over the years. Worth another look!

 

Enjoy the journey.
