New Mosaic Designs - Cats!!!

 My newest mosaic projects are kitty wall plaques. I think they turned out pretty cute for my first tries. They are made with broken plates, marbles and a few tiles for the outline of the "Calico" kitty.


The next ones I make will be inside a "frame" so they are easier to hang. These will have to go on a easel.

Mosaic Bird Bath

I bought this beautiful bird bath only to find out that when they didn't glaze the inside of the bowl the beautiful dark turquoise that the rest of the bird bath is made of, it constantly looked dirty. So, why not mosaic the inside with colorful glass tiles!  The biggest challenge is waiting 2 weeks to put it back outside and filling with water after finishing and sealing the grout.  Here's a few photos of the process.

Photo Art

I was inspired by a friend's art he made by cutting up photos and decided to try my hand at "photo art". I really like the flower collage and the black/white photos look OK too!
