Have I shown you this? It is the first of a a range of 3d pieces that I have had in my mind to do for quite a while. I want to create a whole load of mosaics that can be used in the garden (or indoors or both!). This chicklet was the first of [...] Read more...
Mosaic in the bloggy silence
Hello friends an unusually long blog gap for me – Easter holidays combined with a stream of wonderful visitors and house guests meant that blogging was put to one side. But in the midst of it, there has been a surprising amount of mosaic making considering the hectic, go-with-the-flow nature of the last few weeks! [...] Read more...
Mosaic feelings & a little competition…
One of the things I teach in my class is to embody feeling in your mosaic. Of course, you do this partly by your choice of colours and tone. But in mosaics, special attention goes to the shape, layout and texture of tiles as well as the effect of grout lines and the gaps and [...] Read more...

As [...] Read more...
Watch and see…
I made this mosaic mirror for my daughter 3 years ago. “Watch and see what I become…” The phrase came into my head out of nowhere, and then the image (perfect for a mirror, don’t you think?). She loves it so much (and so do I). Two more in a similar style emerged [...] Read more...
The many facets of one mosaic…
It has Swarovski crystals in it (five of them) but those are not the only facets in this piece. Having lived with this piece of mosaic art (complete) for 4 days (and just waved it goodbye as it goes off to the BAMM mUsaic exhibition), I have been amazed at the many facets to this [...] Read more...
My newest piece of mosaic art…
“If music be the food of love…” Our first kiss. Our first dance. The slow, swaying embrace to gentle music as I whispered in your ear that I am carrying our baby. Precious moments, set in my heart forever by the music that entwined us. This piece is a beauty as it changes so much [...] Read more...
