Mosaic Monday

Happy Monday!

I'm working on my Etsy listings tweeking the titles and descriptions (with a little help from AI!) and have quite a few to go yet. However, this one is updated and was smiling at me prettily so I thought I'd share.

 

Crescent Moon decorative mosaic plate, candle holder or trivet 7 inches 

$45.50 USD 

 Isn't she magical?! Here's a few more photos.

 Head on over to my shop for this mosaic and check out more photos plus the awesome description included.

 

Enjoy the journey.

This week's shout out and shameless promotion: Jewel of the Night Sky - Crescent Moon Mosaic. These are popular items for my customers.

There are two crescent moons this size available in my shop. There's a good possibility they will be the last ones made by me for quite some time.

To those who own an EarthMotherMosaics Crescent Moon, congratulations! I hope you enjoy it for years to come. To those who gifted them, I truly wish it was received well. If you are hopeful I'll be making more ... that remains to be seen. As I grow older, my hands don't respond well to the repetitive motion it takes to cut the glass and mirror on big pieces like these. However, I never say never! I can't say for sure I'll be making more this year but I also can't say I won't. I just don't know yet.

In any case, enjoy the photos and check out my shop to see other mosaics if this one doesn't interest you. There's something for everyone!

Mosaic Monday - Crescent Moon Mosaic

Crescent Moon Mosaic

 

Lavender Moon. It's hard to capture the beauty of this hand mixed lavender grout I used for this moon in photos but if I do say so myself the entire mosaic is absolutely luscious in person. The white iridescent glass sparkles in different hues ranging from yellow to purple, green and blue, the silver mirror grabs the light, dish pieces from my blue and white stash add the perfect blending. Topped off by small black iridescent glass circles and the lavender grout. It's awesome!!

Perfect for a birthday, wedding, anniversary, housewarming, holiday. Anyone who loves purple, blue and white AND celestial designs will absolutely LOVE this crescent moon.

Mosaic Monday - Crescent Moon and Sun Stained Glass Mosaic Plate

Crescent Moon and Sun Stained Glass Mosaic Plate

 

Materials: stained glass, glass plate

Width: 10 inches

Moon and Sun Mosaic Stained Glass Plate. Created on an old glass dish, the vibe for this moon and sun is definitely hippie inspired. Bohemian styled and in honor of my teenage years, growing up in the 60's and 70's, as a flower child in spirit. This plate is extremely groovy.

One of my absolute favorites to create in mosaic form, moons and suns always make me happy. Fits in anywhere within the home or even a small apartment. Perfect for someone just starting out and/or ready to retire. Appeals to all ages, young and old.

We love this style; we love the energy that comes with this design. We love creating moons and suns in mosaics! It is the middle ground between the light of the sun and the darkness of night, and thus often represents the realm between the conscious and the unconscious. The circular shape alone is a symbol of the never ending circle of life. Placing a half moon and half sun inside the circle supplies even more meaning. The sun is often recognized as a symbol of rebirth, strength and power.

Gift to someone for a birthday, as a Mother's Day or Father's Day gift, graduation, anniversary, wedding. Anyone who meditates and likes to sit peacefully focusing on an object can use this mosaic to help them go to a higher place within their mind.

Plate measures 10 inches and is a recycled dish given to me when I first moved to PA with my young children. It was used, loved and retired waiting for some mosaic magic. We're happy to share this with you!

Stand included.

Indoor Use Only.

 

$70.00 USD - FREE SHIPPING (USA ONLY)

WIP Wednesday - Swirling Moon

 It's early in the process of this mosaic, so there's only one photo to share. However, it is a beauty.

Look at those colors. The blending of the light purple, pinkish color and the iridescent pieces so far is very nice. I think this will be mostly feminine, perhaps for a teens room or even an adult who loves these colors and celestial designs. I had no idea when I started how it would look but so far, even though it's only just begun, I love it.

I'll share more on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter during the week. Hop on over and check those sites out to see the progress daily. Meanwhile, here on the blog, I'll share the work-in-progress on Wednesday.

Enjoy the moments!

Mosaic Monday - Azure Moon

Mosaic Crescent Moon, Stained Glass Mosaic, Crescent Moon, Moon Mosaic,Hippie Art,Bohemian Style, Birthday, Anniversary, Christmas, Hanukkah

 

Materials: stained glass, ball chain, millefiori

Dimensions: Height: 15 Inches
 

This 15 inch mosaic crescent moon has been named "Azure Moon". The mosaic has been done using ball chain, Millefiori, small glass circles, iridescent and stained glass in blue and gold. Truly looks incredible in person.

The design I used is similar to the lotus flower petals I use when I create the flower. Keeping a Bohemian feel to it, this hippie at heart thinks it's simply the best moon I've made in quite some time.

 

This could make someone very happy if given as a gift. It could make you smile every day if you purchased it for yourself. Its shine is unbelievable. Placed near a light source, it will give off rays of light due to the iridescent glass I used.

Placing this with other celestial wall hangings or near decor in the same theme would make this stand out and fit in, all at the same time.

Would make a great birthday gift, anniversary present or wedding gift.

My signature, a peace sign charm, has been added. Back has a D-ring hanger making it ready for the wall. A felt pad has been attached so the painted back will not scratch your walls. Signed and dated.

Indoor use only.

WIP Wednesday - Mosaic Crescent Moon

 I'm considering calling this one Azure Moon. Not very original I guess but I think it describes it well.

This is where I left it when I took a break. Starting back up was really not difficult after resting for a while. The unfinished areas were completed within an hour.

I'm very pleased with how it looks. I'm considering my grout color choices. Until it is clear what to use, I won't grout it. Black is always a choice when I can't decide, but I have white and some purple and blue colorants. I also have a light beige color I could use. I think any light color will break up the darker spots in this so making the right decision is crucial. Perhaps I'll use the purple or I could use grey. As you can see, I have to make up my mind but it's still resting, so I don't have to decide right now. When the time comes, it'll be the perfect choice!

WIP Wednesday - Crescent Moon and August Birth Flower

I'm still working on the crescent moon. Actually I took some time off to grout the things in the pile needing it and will get back to the moon once finishing touches are complete with those newly grouted pieces. Photos will need to be taken for listings as well. Then I can concentrate on the moon once more.

Here's the moon as it stands at the moment. Almost finished!

I'm sure it'll be finished within the week.

Next up, after the moon, is the next in the series of birth flower mosaics. August is gladiolus and so very pretty pinks and whites with green for the stems of course.

Hopefully it'll turn out looking as good as the larkspur has. This photo isn't the best but it shows what it now looks like after being grouted. I'm very pleased with the results.

The best thing about making these is the practice in flower mosaics I'm experiencing. Good practice indeed!

WIP Wednesday - Crescent Moon

Working on another crescent moon is almost as Zen as I can get. Celestial designs are my favorite.

I'm really digging this color combo. Initially I was going to add orange and yellow to it. That would have been fine but a bit busy and not what I wanted for this piece. I went with my original idea in color choices and am really glad I have.

I'll be working on this exclusively until it's ready for grout. By then, the 2 waiting to be grouted will be ready to be finished up. I'll share as I go!

WIP Wednesday

Well, here it is, time to share a new WIP and I don't have anything to show you yet. But I do have a design on a crescent moon ready for some work when I get the ball chain I ordered. Once it arrives, I will hopefully find the inspiration and color choices to go along with it.

This is 15 inches high, about 12 inches wide from tip to side.

Whenever I do a custom order, I get 2 substrates just in case I don't like the way it's going. Sometimes it's a blessing to know I have another one the same size if I see the work isn't happening the way it should. This was an extra I got from the custom I did at Christmas time. I'll share that here too, so you can see something colorful at the very least.

Honestly, I'm supposed to be working on a gift for my son-in-law for his birthday which was in April. I stare at what I want to make him almost every day but the muse is not inspired to do much just yet. Hopefully someday soon I'll pick up the tools and glass and just go to it. Meanwhile, planning and deciding what to do and how to do it, is all I'm able to do just now. It'll happen. I'm just not sure exactly when.

Mosaic Monday

Hello all! I'm back to blogging once more on a brand new PC. Woohoo!

Today I'd like to share Moon Beams the jewel and earth toned crescent moon. Happily, this recently sold and is on it's way to it's forever home as I write this. What a blessing!

Mosaic Crescent Moon in hand cut Van Gogh glass, yellow and green stained glass, green iridescent glass and silver recycled mirror.

The swirls in mirror are from top to bottom; the gorgeous Van Gogh glass (a clear glue chip glass that is painted on the back with metallic, automotive-type pigment) surround the gems and silver swirls. The green and yellow glass is added around the Van Gogh glass. Triangles of iridescent green glass follow the swirls. Your eyes will travel up and down this beauty. A long-time friend has dubbed this "Moon Beams". Perfect!

Painted in black acrylic on the back. Measures 10 inches.
 

I'm getting more crescent moons in stock to do my mosaic magic. One is 15 inches, two are 12 inches. I'm sure I'll share WIP photos in the weeks to come, if you are interested to watch their birth.
