Mosaic Watering Can

I made this little watering can for my mom for Mother's Day.  More watering cans, oil cans, tarnished silver tea pots and creamers to follow!


I thought she was only joking . . .

but my friend really did want me to mosaic her cast.

Polar ICE

My latest mosaic ice bucket features a cute lil' polar cub on top.  Lots of other goodies like the porcelain cold water faucet handle and a fun brooch.  Now for sale in my Etsy shop.

Muerto

My latest mosaic coffin plaque in pink and white with skull and skeleton key is inspired by the fluffy lining of a casket.  Next?  Maybe a nice green one with "Dead Head" caption.





Sparkin'


I almost always make it out to Sparks, Kansas twice a year for their huge flea market.  The same dealers are in the same places so it's easy to find my faves, including Billy.  He has good stuff, the prices are right, and who couldn't love a face like this?!


There were lots of pretty flowers at this Spring's show.




I fell in love with this farm table.





Another awesome table.




I found lots of mosaic ingredients including vintage aluminum coffee pots I'll be transforming soon.

Austin Country Living Show


I'm back from the Austin Country Living show.  It was a huge learning experience and I met many amazing people!  Thanks to everyone who stopped by my booth - I was blown away by the compliments and look forward to getting back into the studio next week to make more good stuff.  I sold out of buttah dishes and have only one tea pot left, so I need to rebuild inventory and set my sights on the next show!  Here are a few pics of my booth space.







This is Deborah (above).  She bought the switch plate for her laundry room and I had to take a picture of her fabulousness - just look at that ring!!  And below are some fabulous customers from Denver who bought "SALT LICK".  In fact, I'm making another so they both can have one in their bathrooms.

Too funny!!!  Scott cashiered for me and would only pull it out when we had a customer he knew would not be offended!
