New and Upcoming Mosaics

I haven't been on my computer much these last few weeks as the sprain of my foot makes it difficult to sit at my desk, however, I have been busy on a few new mosaics.

The first one was inspired by a friend whom I met online. She is a fellow Design Style Guide member and has a lovely shop called Another Bright Idea.

I did a custom frame for her with some of her mother's keepsakes in a white-on-white mosaic and it gave me the idea of doing one in a Bridal theme. I purposely kept it simple with just a few touches of gold and vintage pearls for interest as the primary focus should be the bride and groom.

It could also work well for a Golden Anniversary or any happy couple for that matter. It was fun and different to do and a bit of a challenge, which is always a good thing.


This is my current project. This is obviously an ocean-themed piece with the cute little crab in the corner. I plan to use various tiles from dishes with blue as the main color.

This is a very large mirror at 24"x 28", so it may take me a while to complete.


This frame is ready to be grouted and I have decided to grout it in blue keeping to the theme. I just love the periwinkle blue that dominates this mosaic and have used that color in several different types of glass tiles to make this design.
