For ages I have had this idea of using mosaics as a way of promoting a sense of community and belonging… The idea has rumbled in my head for years…to create a mosaic trail round a neighbourhood, inviting people to make a mosaic that depicts a community symbol… …and for the mosaics that are made […] Read more...
Mosaic garden scuplture
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...

Paper mosaic heart (or whatever takes your fancy!)
Paper mosaic making is a great activity for children and grown-up’s alike. I just did it with a group of 30 adults at Crafty Pint (crafts in a London pub, no less!) and it was great seeing how absorbed people got making this. Here they are in action… Whilst it seems pretty obvious how to […] Read more...
What’s going on around here….
A certain little girl has completed her 7th lap around the sun! I am so proud of her, so in love with her enthusiasm for life, her eye for small things, her way of speaking and being, which is changing so much week by week. She was sooo happy to receive mummy’s old camera as […] Read more...
Learning mosaics – workshops in action!
