Mosaics Set of 3 Bohemian Incense Holder / Bud Vase Bottles - FREE SHIPPING Within US - $87.65

A small bottle once held soy sauce. A cracked ceramic vase from the 1950's was in a bag to toss out. A beer bottle, sitting on the counter. All these spoke to me begging me to give them some mosaic love.

Each is unique within itself but look so cool as a set.

The soy sauce bottle is 5 inches high. Turquoise stained glass, calico and blue willow designs in china were added in a wave pattern. Grouted in white.

The ceramic vase is 6 inches high. Stained glass pieces in blue, some iridescent, cover this really cool shape. Grouted in charcoal.

The beer bottle is 9 inches high. 4 different patterns in broken china were used. Navy blue, white, blue willow and a soft violet flower. Grouted in my own hand mixed plum.

For those hard to buy for people in your life, these would make a wonderful gift. Use all 3 on a shelf with a flower in it or a sweet smelling stick of incense. Let them sit near a light source so the shine can make you smile. Gift yourself! You deserve it!

I am proud to take items destined for the trash and create a beautiful, useful piece of art like the ones shared here. It is a delight to share with you all the joy I have when I find broken objects and give them new purpose. The art pieces I make using discarded and/or broken items holds a special place in my heart.

Mosaic Stained Glass Plate - "A New Horizon", Abstract - Mixed Media -

FREE SHIPPING Within US - SALE - Item Price has been reduced - $130.00

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.

This plate is meant to be shown in sunlight. I used to call these plates suncatchers, but traditionally suncatchers 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 (not included).

Saying Hello

Just in case those who follow missed my announcement that I was extending my respite, I wanted to share a post just saying hello!

My bones have been struggling with the cold weather and some days I don't function at all. I call those days "pain management" days. I don't go to a doctor (no resources for that luxury), but I'm fairly sure it's arthritis as it runs in my family as does fibromyalgia and a few other unpleasant things that cause inflammations and pain.

Moving is good, creating is great, grouting is a miracle. I managed to do all 3 this past week while the temperatures plummeted here on the East Coast. However, there were a few days when walking down/up stairs was not possible.

It's a bad day today (raining and snowing), but I still wanted to share a few things I've listed on Etsy this week in spite of the pain and fog that comes with it.

"Magic Carpet" is made using toothpicks and a small paint brush - 2.5 x 8 inches

"Earth Angels Dance For The Moon" - my small painting of 3 angels dancing on the earth for the crescent moon with wavy clouds around it - 8 x 2.5 inches

Blue, Orange and Brown Mosaic Bowl - 2.5 x 7 inches

Blue and Light Brown Mosaic Bowl - 4 x 7 inches

Purple Glass Mosaic Dish - 1.5 x 5 inches

Not bad for someone who can't bend her fingers this morning, huh! Everything I shared last week has been grouted. I'll show the rest of what I've done soon.

I've also been adding new items to my 2nd shop when I can. Check it out!
