"Lilacs" New Floral Mosaic Mirror

I just finished making this mosaic last night and have managed to get it listed today.

I have to say it was a very labor intensive piece as it took 8 dinner plates cut into small tiles to make this large mosaic.

I love the bright lilac colored glass tiles around the border and was happy they matched the lilacs in the pattern so well.

The 3 little ceramic knobs were just too cute when I saw them at Hobby Lobby so I decided I just had to have them for this one.

Something a Little Different

I have been working on something that is a bit different from my usual mosaics this past week.

I decided to recycle this coat rack that I found one day and it has been a lot of fun. Originally it was a laminated looking brown wood (very 70's) that had 4 wooden dowels for the hooks. I thought to update it and paint it a gloss white, add some brushed nickel hooks, and mosaic the area that was once a carved leaf design.

I spend a lot of time in thrift stores and the Goodwill looking for dishes to cut into tiles and once in a while I come across a piece that I just can't pass up.
