A Look Back

I'm still working on organizing the Purple Palace in between doing art and doodling at the appropriate tables. Some days I do a little of all things. Other days I think about what I want to do for a very long time. The energy passes and I wait for the next wave. In other words ... it's taking a while.

As I was moving a few things around in the Palace the last time energy hit I glanced at the wall behind me. What a wonderful display of art!

This wall is filled with mosaic birth flowers

I appreciate the mosaics I've made over the years. This break from them might be exactly what was needed (besides giving my hands a rest from the tools involved in creating mosaics) to see -- really see the art. Remembering the stained glass and dish pieces I used, where I sat to create them. How many seasons I weathered to continue creating.

I'm extremely grateful for the gift given to me to create them. I'm mindful that I still have that gift each time I walk into the Purple Palace. I do know I have a lot more to get organized before I can start creating mosaics again. The fact is I still want to make them! They still bring me joy and that's a blessing. Which keeps me going when the energy arises to pull heavy glass and dishes here and there. Not easy work but rewarding once it'll all be finished. I know I'm honoring the gift by giving myself a break from it all to get everything placed where I feel it's necessary and then begin again.

My walls are covered with blessings. Not just my own but from my family as well. Mosaics, paintings and collage live on the walls and the alters. There's room for more! Huzzah!! Some of the hangings get askew on occasion when doors close or someone moves something heavy enough to make walls rattle (it happens). I'm still pleasantly surprised at the emotion I feel when looking, really seeing, the art here.

 

Enjoy your week!

Mosaic Monday

I'm very happy to announce I've completed the gluing down on the 5 panels!

Abstract by design, there is a cohesiveness but separateness. I'm happy about that since that was the plan. As I got closer to the end of the last small panel, all the crockery was splintering and breaking. I'm guessing I found the initial breaking point as it hit the floor when it was a vase. But I managed to get enough to cover the panel and while it looks slightly different to my eye, I'm hoping it isn't noticeable to anyone else.

 I'm letting them sit for a few days. Then I'll paint the sides and backs and grout them all. I'm really hoping the person who lost their grandmother's precious vase likes what I've done here.

My theme was: Blue and white wild flowers with vines and a hidden butterfly or two within.

 

Started in September 2025 and should be finished in November 2025 if all goes according to plan.

I'll share photos of them all finished next week (I hope). 

 

Enjoy the journey.

Mosaic Monday - Blast From The Past

Recently, I took a look at some of the really old mosaics I've made. I share a lot from my walls that aren't available to purchase. After looking at these old photos, I thought I'd do a post about a few of them.

Here they are in no particular order. Enjoy some "eye candy" in mosaic form!

Cuppa Peace circa 2017

 

Bohemian Sky circa 2017

Table circa 2016

Coaster Sets circa 2017

Crescent Moon circa 2018

These are examples of both pique assiette and stained glass mosaics. This is just a small sample of what I've made over the years. Four out of five were sold; the table was lost in transit when I moved that year. I'm grateful to still have photos of them all!

Enjoy the journey.

Mosaic Monday

I've been busy working on the requested mosaic panels. I have to say, the way I approach making art is a little odd, even for me. I start in on it, THEN decide the design. The colors were decided, so that wasn't hard. But I honestly didn't know, other than the butterfly, what I would add or how until I started getting into it over the weekend. The last photo is of the 2nd panel. All 4 of the remaining panels will have vines and flowers. Only the first panel has a butterfly. However, some of the flowers, after I finished adding them, could be seen as butterflies.

My first attempt, filling in around the butterfly looked cluttered and not at all what I wanted to see. I took the ceramic pieces off and tried again.

This time, I noticed I could make vines and flowers going from panel to panel, maybe not a continuation in case the recipient would like to have 5 separate mosaic panels placed in different places instead of side-by-side.

The butterfly will have gray grout, the rest will be grouted in white. At this point I'm considering leave the panels sides and back white but will paint them with acrylics before grouting begins.

Vines on the second panel. I liked the feeling of the flow finally taking hold.

 

Next week I'll share progress and you can always see how it's going on Instagram and Facebook because I always share there as well.

 

Enjoy the journey.

Mosaic Monday

This week I'm not sharing anything for sale however feel free to hop on over to artbyearthmothermosaics.com anytime you'd like to check it all out. This week I'm just showing some photos of mosaics as the featured attraction throughout the years. Some were sold, some gifted or donated and some are still with me. Some got lost along the way. All are loved for what they taught me and what I still carry with me.

I've been creating mosaics for 21 years now and I still love them. Our love affair is still sturdy. Even though I can't make them as often as I'd like, I do still make them. This is just a small sampling of what's gone through me onto the substrate over the years. 

Enjoy!
