Goodness, I have just checked and its been 9 months since I did a round up of my students’ mosaic art work. So its about time to reveal some eye candy of mosaic works (in progress and completed) – mostly by people who are brand new to mosaic art. At the start of my 7 […] Read more...
Mosaic making galore…
Life (and blogging) has been interrupted somewhat by our kitchen-dining room (where we spend most our time) being out of use for two weeks, at one point with no floor! Despite it all, here’s been a lot of making going on – have a peek… Isabella’s butterfly slowly emerging… …and Toby’s Toucan! Some little mosaic […] Read more...
For those who need to know they are not alone…
Apologies for those outside the UK who may not be aware that our country is currently engulfed in an enormous scandal and exposure of unchecked power, child abuse, alleged collusion from institutions such as the BBC, NHS and Social Services (read the story here and here) affecting so many people both directly and indirectly. As […] 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...
Children’s bedroom mosaics
We were walking back from school a few weeks ago, discussing our plans for everyone in the house to move bedrooms – us back up into our lovely loft room, Isabella into our old room and Toby from his tiny box room to his big sister’s room. “Mummy, I want my bedroom to be like […] Read more...

Topps Tiles Mosaic Award success!
Last Thursday was a little bit special. It was my usual mosaic drop-in class here in South London and two of my lovely regular students were here. Also visiting was a mosaic friend, Jane. We had met on a mosaic course 8 years ago and hadn’t seen each other for 7 years. It was on […] Read more...
More community mosaics in the making…
I am currently facilitating another wonderful community mosaic project at St Nick’s Children’s Centre in Bedfordshire. What a lovely group of people to be working with – mostly mums and little ones (who spread cement on the pavers with great enthusiasm!). These six large (60 x 60) pavers are being transformed into mini beasts to […] Read more...
Creations…
My latest piece of mosaic art, just finished, now flying off to the annual Opus Mosaics exhibition. It is called “Bird in a Grey Sky” and here you can see me trying to love grey skies, which we have had rather a lot of (size 100 x 20cm). And one of my most beautiful creations […] Read more...
