Variety is the Spice, After All

Today was hectic.  I'm trying to put a few dog themed mosaics together for Raven in Lawrence.  Plus, I'll be participating in a Zaarly show on Tuesday night, December 11th and I wanted a few more holiday pieces.  Tomorrow, I'll do some grouting and then I need to work on some smaller things for the event.  I also got a text from my sister-in-law who wants an elephant plaque for my nephew - I can hardly wait to get started!  So many mosaics, so little time! 

This is the table in my foyer.  I've photographed the stocking and candy cane before, but the mother snowman is new.  I'm also working on another baby.  This one will have a red bow.

Meyer jewelry tin.

Love these giant orange beads.

 Here are the dog themed mosaics.  Puppy Love.

And "K9" with tiny German shepherd figurine.

Puppy Love

I've made a few special dog themed mosaics that are going to my friend, Raven, who has the cutest dogs of her own!

"MY DOG ROCKS", mosaic 5 x 7 frame with guitar, dog bone, paw, and figurine.

"WOOF" mosaic heart in blues featuring a cute little boxer.

Blessed

I'm getting ready to throw it in high gear for my County Living Show in Columbus, Ohio on September 14, 15 and 16.  I'm excited about this new pumpkin/squash shape.  More coming later this week!

And just about everybody loves a heart.

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:

Salt Lick III

Sick people keep buyin' these things and I keep makin' em.

 

Salt Lick

This plaque was a collaborative effort. Thanks to Nina for finding the salt shaker while on a recent junkin' trip. Thanks to Scott for the caption "salt lick". Thanks to Cherie for advice on how to place the shaker in the plaque. Rarely serious is my motto, after all.


My latest double switch plate would look perfect in a bathroom . . .

Zombie Bait

Home Sweet Home

7" by 7" plaque packed full of goodies: doll parts, metal flower, stork bottlecap, vintage brooch, old key, meat extract jar lid, and of course, plenty of broken dishes, buttons and beads. Dig.
