Fabulous Friday - Mosaic Abstract Panel

Mosaic Abstract Panel

This mosaic is entitled "Fruit Medley". It is based on a photograph I took of plastic oranges and a pear in a basket. I used some funky editing on the photo and came up with some awesome colors making it abstract and very different. The last photo (on the Etsy website) shows where this mosaic started.

As usual, I like to use things that were headed to the dumpster and create art from them. Saving the landfill and making art is a fantastic feeling! This is made on a piece of Styrofoam (which cannot be recycled here in our area). I covered it with layers of plaster cast strips and thin set cement before putting a mosaic on it.

This looks great sitting on a shelf or on a table. I used iridescent glass and colored mirror around the fruit giving it a frame of sorts. It can be placed in a custom frame if desired.

Stand is included.

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.

Gift to a special someone or save it for yourself. As long as it's enjoyed, it's job is done.

My signature, a peace sign charm, has been added. A felt pad has been attached so the back will not scratch your walls. Signed and dated.

Indoor use only.

Measures 12 inches high

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.

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.

Mosaic Peace Sign

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.

Mosaic Monday - Patchwork Peace Sign

Some of you may recall I had wanted to add a pretty daisy flower brooch on this peace sign. After completed it, it stood on it's own, without the brooch and distinctly told me it didn't need the added bling to look fantastic. I never mess with the muse, as I've often said, so here it is, as is, as a patchwork peace sign, standing on it's own. And looking fantastic!

Mosaic Peace Sign

 

 

Material: stained glass

Dimensions: Height: 8 Inches

Isn't this "Patchwork Peace Sign" cool? It reminds me of a crocheted throw blanket or an old-fashioned quilt. Done in many colors of stained glass in orange, red, beige, blue, green, brown and yellow. There are beige and green half circles in glass and small blue hand cut rods.

Gift this to someone who loves peace signs. Makes a great birthday present, holiday gift, anniversary gift, or a just because gift.

Works well in most every room. I'd say those who have a flair for homey decor will love this addition to their nest.

Back has a key hole 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.

Measures 8 inches

Theme Thursday - Abstract Art

We love abstract art! It is art that seeks to achieve its effect using shapes, forms, colors, and textures. It's what started my love of mosaic making and what still makes me happy when I create an abstract mosaic.

These abstract mosaics are all available from my Etsy shop. You can find them by clicking on the links above each photo. Enjoy.

WIP Wednesday - Gazing Ball

I have gotten all three spaces filled in with stained glass this week. The heart, the flower and the peace sign are complete. Now I've started filling in the areas using dish tiles. I took photos of each area done in glass to see if the dish tiles would work. I like the way it looks so far, which is a very good thing. Below are photos of the progress as of Tuesday evening. I shared the heart last week, but am showing it here again along with the flower and peace sign.

Making sure the dish tiles look okay was the reason for these photos. I think they work well!

I started adding the tiles within the peace sign before finishing up for the day yesterday.

WIP Wednesday - The Tower of Now and Cornflower Sun

 I didn't post on Tuesday because I didn't have anything new, tess-wise, to show or share. But today, I have two works-in-progress mosaics to share, so hopefully that makes up for it.

First, the tower. It is coming along very slowly. The muse seems to want me to really take my time with it. I always listen to the muse.

 

These shots above are of the roof sides. One has the sun, the other the moon with swirling clouds on both sides. The sections that need filling in will be done so with dish tiles.

The newest mosaic being worked on is Cornflower Sun.

Oh my how I love this. Iridescent glass is mostly used on this one. The stained glass center in yellow is not but the rest of it, shines beautifully in natural light. I dig it! This is taking no time at all to complete. I did what you see above in 2 sittings, approximately 2-1/2 hours total so far.

WIP Wednesday - Swiriling Moon Amethyst and Patchwork Peace Sign

I've got two mosaics to share today. The Swirling Moon Amethyst is grouted in pretty plum grout. I think it's ready for the peace sign signature charm to be added and some photos for listing on Etsy.

The Patchwork Peace Sign I shared yesterday was finished within an hour. I love working on peace signs but I also love how they are a quick project for me, most of the time. It's satisfying to see the results so quickly too. Instant gratification!

The flowers aren't yet attached. I'll glue them in place once the mosaic is grouted in black. It will make these colors pop!
