Little Pink Pitcher Mosaic

I found this cute little blush pink pitcher on one of my shopping journeys to the various thrift stores and couldn't resist buying it. I just loved the rose bud at the handle and thought it would be a perfect size to do a small mosaic.

This was a fun piece to do but ended up being a lot more work than you might imagine. Getting those tiles to fit around the handle took a bit of patience, but I managed to get it done.

I wanted to keep the scene light and airy so I stayed with the same color scheme as the pitcher except for the blue and white checked "table" it's sitting on.  The rich blue gives some contrast without being to brash, I think. 

I must get some better photos before I list this one. The glare from the camera flash is bouncing off the tiles.  The pink in here is also a very subtle blush color that matches the pink of the pitcher and this camera of mine doesn't pick it up that way.

My Newest Mosaic

It's hard to believe we are halfway through July already.  The heat here in Florida is hot, hot, hot, so I have been staying in my room more and fooling with different ideas for my mosaics.

I just finished this one called "Innocence in Pink" because the cotton candy pink glass tiles along with some of the little focal tiles I used just makes my heart feel light. It's wavy, curvy shape is whimsical and the colors of pink and gray together are always a good combination so I just had fun with this one.

Sunflower in a Pot Mosaic Mirror

This is my newest piece called "Sunflower". The center of the flower is actually a huge dangling earring that I thought would look great with the black and white edging. I hand painted the sunflower petals and used a real vase that I cut in half for the pot.
I was thinking of my daughter when I made this as it would be a great gift for someone's daughter. It's fun, colorful, and cheery.
