At last, all done! The mosaic marathon was slightly interrupted this week by disappearance of Chloe the Cat. She is a breed that is knicknamed “Cat -dog” for the very reason that these animals are more like dogs – very social, following humans everywhere – but also prone to being over friendly and running into […] Read more...

My mosaics in new Stampington mag!

New (he)art work…
Some stuff comes from deep within… Here is my latest offering to the world. It’s 51cm x 77cm and made from vitreous and porcelain tile, glitter tile, ceramic tile and glass nuggets.
