Warblers House of Worship

I just finished a double-decker birdhouse brought to you by my friend, Scott.  He was kind enough to come with me to the Austin Country Living Fair and found the religious doo dads that went into this piece.  He also picked the name, Warblers House of Worship.  Love it!


Guardian angel.


I picked this great little metal piece up at Sparks flea market last week.



The key chain fits in great, a Scott find.




Pennies for the roof.




Crucifix.


Holy card.

Time to Make the Switch Plates

Trying to make a ton of switch plates for my Columbus, Ohio show in September.  I list my inventory on Etsy until the bitter end and sold a couple of them today to my buddy, Leah, in San Antonio.  What a great way to go one step forward and two steps back!!


Blue and gold with cherub brooch SOLD, thanks!

STOP TALKING

I got a request several weeks back for a custom piece for a California customer.  The only instruction I received was that she wanted it to say "stop talking".  I had to think about it for awhile, but landed on this:

Sex Pot

Well, I've finally finished the first mosaics of 2009. This pale pink box is going to Stuff tomorrow along with some magnets and another trinket box.

I love old tintypes and mixing this stoic woman with the "Sex Pot" caption seems funny to me.

I could see someone like me buying this for a good friend. You can't buy a box that says "Sex Pot" for yourself; it has to be a gift for someone else.



The horse on the left was actually a cuff link. My Etsy friend, Becky, sent down a big stash of junk from Wisconsin with her brother who lives in the KC area and the cuff link was included. Becky really knows her junk!!
Here's the bottom of the box covered with decorative pink and gray paper.

I whipped up this magnet as a surprise for a woman at work. I'm excited about giving it to her! I have a mosaic lamp I need to work on along with a couple birdhouses. Lots to do in 2009. I'm also having my first mosaic party with several friends later this month. I'm not sure how sangria is going to mix with glass and broken dishes, but I'm willing to take a chance!
