EarthMotherMosaics on Etsy

 I'm giving a little shout out to a featured mosaic this week. One of my favorites. If I had to pick just one, this might be it.

Stained Glass Mosaic, Mosaic Plate, Mosaic Sun, Bohemian Style, Hippie Art, Birthday, Wedding, Retirement, Mother's Day, Father's Day

 

Bohemian Sky - $140.00 USD

 Stained Glass Mosaic made on a recycled microwave plate. Recycling at it's best!

I found the inspiration for this through a coloring app online, changing it a bit adding my own EarthMother vibe to it.

 Measures 13 inches.

It was made using hand cut stained glass, some iridescent. A few pieces are from a broken drinking glass (the yellow center in each design). This took approximately 3 weeks to complete from start to finish.

Indoor use only. 

More photos available on Etsy.

 

Enjoy the journey.

Mosaic Monday - Stained Glass Trivet

Mosaic Stained Glass, Trivet, Candle Holder, Octagon, Mosaic Mirror, Earth Tones, For The Home, Gift Idea, Wedding, Anniversary, Christmas

Material: stained glass

Dimensions: Width: 6.5 Inches

A plain, boring mirrored candle holder and/or trivet is now a piece of original mosaic art! A simple design in waves of stained glass in orange, amber, yellow and red weave throughout this 6-1/2 inch trivet. Felt pads on the bottom to protect your table or other surfaces.

The reflective qualities in this are outstanding. You can see from the photos the way the triangles are shown throughout the mirror underneath the glass. In bright light you have an amazing light show! The last photo shows how the mosaic looked before grout, still as a work-in-progress.

This mirrored trivet looks great sitting on a table with a lit candle in the center - reflections go everywhere. This would make a great wedding gift or housewarming gift. Give the gift of handmade art to those you love especially yourself!

Indoor use only.

$45.00 USD - FREE SHIPPING (USA ONLY)

Throwback Thursday - Crescent Moon and Sun Stained Glass Mosaic Plate

Made around 2016, 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.

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.

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.

Throwback Thursday

Sold in 2018, this is an abstract stained glass mosaic made using photographs I took of leaves throughout the fall season from my favorite tree in the apartment complex I once lived in. I taped them all together and placed it on the bottom of the plate and added stained glass colors representing the colors of the leaves; following the color scheme more than the actual shapes of leaves and trees.

No matter how you turn this piece of art, it completely changes perspective. Honestly, no matter how it's placed, it is quite beautiful. Stained glass colors used are all the colors you find in nature during the fall season. I hand cut every piece of glass in this mosaic.

I love making mosaics on discarded items; transforming them into something beautiful and unusual. Such is the case for this mosaic. Very small hand cut pieces of stained glass were placed on a discarded 15 inch microwave plate and grouted, creating a work of art.

Mosaic Monday

Mosaic Stained Glass Plate, Trivet, Candle Holder, Mosaic Plate, Mosaic Trivet, For The Home, Wedding, Anniversary, Housewarming, Birthday

This mosaic stained glass plate is what we call "Red Hot!".

These colors placed together remind me of the leaves on my favorite tree in the autumn season. When the sun shines through this, as in all my mosaic glass-on-glass items, it is incredible. Make this a focal point in your home on a bright sunny shelf in the kitchen. Add it to a gloomy room in your home that could use a bit of spice!

All hand cut glass in red, orange and yellow were placed in this plate. It's been grouted and sealed.

This plate is meant to be shown in sunlight. I used to call these plates sun catchers, but traditionally sun catchers are hung in the window to grab the light. My plates are heavy and hanging is not recommended nor do I craft them for that purpose. They look fantastic sitting in the window in a display dish holder.

Stand included.

From The Studio - Wednesday

A few posts ago, I shared the process of taking small glass beads off of a broken vase. I have since sorted them all by color as best as I could and they're in their own baggies.

Some pieces wouldn't come off the glass. That's what is seen at the far left in this photo.

The pieces that are in the far left bag might get used in some way as they are. But I'm happy with the amount I have to play with and use in future mosaics! Well worth the time it took.

I got a photo tent kit this week and am learning how to use it. The lights are wonky and I considered sending them back but wanted to use the tent as soon as it came out of the box, so I found a creative way to still use the lights. They are supposed to sit on tripod legs and from the reviews and comments I read it seems it's either hit or miss with them. Some work, some don't. The good news is if sent back they'd be replaced, but I'm keeping these, I think. As crazy as it looks, placing them inside empty coffee cans gives me the same results as tripod legs!

The tent is upside down but I wanted to get a shot of the progress as I was putting it together.

While totally unconventional, it works!

I used the blue filter with this shot. Nice!!

Not crazy about the plastic sheets and their wrinkles but it is a good learning tool for me. I am figuring out what I like, what I need in the future and how to take better photos.

My favorite photo so far has got to be this one.

Heading to Etsy very soon!

Mosaic Monday

Yesterday while having a family gathering celebrating our 1 year old, I made a sale on Etsy. I have to say, as I often do, the best thing about selling through Etsy is the absolute joy of seeing the notification that I sold a mosaic. It always makes me stop and say "thank you" to the Universe. I am grateful and truly blessed to have a gift I enjoy tremendously and that others seem to like as well.

This is the mosaic that sold. It's a stained glass plate entitled "Pathways". As described in my shop: "I created this mosaic during a time of great personal stress in my life. I had many choices to make and they all seemed to get pushed around and connect, then disconnect. This piece of art is directly a result of the way I was thinking during that stressful time, trying to make sense of the next leg in my personal journey.

All the colors in stained glass, blending and contracting. Placed all together like this, they seem to flow easily which is exactly what happened in my own journey. Life is good!"

Indeed it is!

SOLD

Promo Blast!

Mosaic Stained Glass Plate - "A New Horizon", Abstract - Mixed Media - FREE SHIPPING Within US - $135.00

The title of this is "A New Horizon". I imagine standing towards the edge of a cliff where I see grass, hills, water, sand and rocks. It's a new beginning, a fresh start and an inspiration in one 12 inch mosaic stained glass plate.

When this is turned it completely changes perspective but no matter how it's placed, it is quite beautiful.

Stained glass colors used are green/yellow, amber, white/light blue and aquamarine.

I love making mosaics on discarded items; transforming them into something beautiful and unusual. Such is the case for this mosaic. Very small hand cut pieces of stained glass are placed on a discarded 12 inch microwave plate and grouted.
