These pieces must be kept indoors but I can make pieces for outdoors on request.  The back of each piece is painted in a neutral colour and has a fixing attached, so it is ready to hang on the wall.  

I'm happy to talk about orders or commissions if you want something in particular; or if you have your own material you'd like to have incorporated into a mosaic.

Tree with birds
China with unglazed ceramic tiles.
This mosaic was inspired by some lovely Portmeirion tea plates I bought at a flea market. I've combined them here with Hornsea china for the tree truck and birds made up from the pattersn cut from tea cups to make a very mid-centrury inspired piece! 

Mounted on mdf.
This piece is for inside use only.

50 x 60 cm (approx)

Auricula Theatre
​

Ceramaic and glass tiles, glass rod and Venetian millefiore.

This was inspired by an Auricula Theatre I saw in the beautiful walled garden in Scampston in Yorkshire.  I was amazed by the variations in these lovely little Spring flowers and it gave me a great excuse to use millefiore, which also come in the most amazing variety.
Although this looks like a relatively simple piece, there are over 20 different materials used here.


Mounted on mdf.
This piece is for inside use only.
32 x 42 cm (approx)

Alliums

Ceramic and glass tiles, natural slate and Venetian millefiore.

This mosaic was inspired by alliums growing in my garden and leaning over gently with the weight of the flower heads and gives me an excuse (if I needed one) to use millefiore. I love the contrasting textures in this piece. I have made several variations of this mosaic, in different sizes and using different materials for the stems and the background.  Although the subject is the same, each mosaic is unique and subtely different.

Mounted on mdf.
This piece is for inside use only, but it can be made for outdoors.
