I'm working on a commission at the moment for a mosaic that will be a surprise present to mark a milestone birthday. (Shhh! It's a secret!) Within the overall design, I've been asked to include item which reflect the life and interests of the person it is meant for. This is always one of the challenges - time consuming but also great fun. It provides endless opportunities for rummaging in car boots and flea markets; and on ebay.
Among other things, I'm told that this person likes to play croquet, so I was really pleased to find this fantastic vintage brass table croquet set. It was still in its original setting.
The watch cases came in a box of old watch parts that I bought a while ago. I am going to put photographs in these.
I get quite excited when things start to come together and an really looking forward to seeing this piece finished with all these different elements included.
Pictures will follow! In the meantime, to see how this has worked on other mosaics, you can look under the 'commissions' heading on the site.
