Tesserae Tuesday - Scrap Glass Mosaics

As many of you might already know, I LOVE scrap glass mosaics. Taking tiny pieces of glass is something I like to do anyway but putting them altogether in a cool way makes me really happy. The results look great when used on glass-on-glass projects but just as cool on MDF. Below are just a few of my scrap glass mosaics I've done over the years. All are in private collections or have been sold.

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

$50.00 USD - FREE SHIPPING (USA ONLY)

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.

Tesserae Tuesday - My Favorite Shops for Supplies

One of the things I love about Etsy is having all I could ever need available with just a few clicks. All but one link I'm sharing here today are from Etsy. What can I say? I love Etsy!!

When I'm looking for small amounts of glass tiles, especially for custom work, I use this site.

https://mosaicsbymaria.com/

Maria has a pretty wide selection in color and most of what I use in iridescent glass comes from her. If you stop in, tell her I said hi!

Here are a few links from Etsy for stained glass:

https://www.etsy.com/shop/beachcrafters

https://www.etsy.com/shop/StainedGlassSheets

https://www.etsy.com/shop/funkydreamsmosaics

Whenever you need full sheets, I recommend the 2nd link. Good prices for all 3 shops on their supplies and glass. Check them out and support small businesses.

Here are a few links from Etsy for MDF substrates:

This is not necessarily the order in which I shop, it is just the way I found them in my order history.

Mosaic Monday - Cornflower Sun

Mosaic Sun

 

Material: stained glass

Dimensions: Height: 12 Inches
 

I call this one "Cornflower Sun". The flower in the center is surrounded by this beautiful color in blue iridescent glass. The center is in a bright orange and the flower itself is in iridescent tan. To say this sparkles and shines is an understatement. Around the flower are black iridescent glass dots.

Gift this to someone who loves all things shiny and bright. 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 an eclectic taste will love this addition to their home.

My signature, a peace sign charm, has been added. Back has a 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 12 inches

 

$65.00 USD - FREE SHIPPING (USA ONLY)
