- Announcing
- (click on any image below to visit the site)
|
Many of my pieces are made from recycled materials or repurposed
dishes, otherwise known as broken china mosaics. I love to transform cracked or
broken items into unique and new works, giving those old treasured items a new lease on
life.
- I am very excited to finally announce my new Etsy shop, ArtcycledMosaics.Etsy.com,
featuring my recycled china mosaic jewelry. I have been planning on adding this
sales venue for quite some time and am pleased to offer this option for immediate
purchase of many jewelry items as well as gift certificates . Items are being added on a
regular basis.
-
- My unique recycled garden art and recycled jewelry make
great gifts for weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, housewarmings or any occasion for the
garden enthusiast! I hope you enjoy your visit.

| I create unique handcrafted mosaic garden art
designed to enliven any garden setting. Distinctive birdbaths, birdhouses, tables,
jewelry, gifts and garden art are created, in the picassiette style, with recycled
tesserae (tile, pottery, broken china, glass and found objects) when ever possible.
Once treasured items are reborn as beautiful, functional adornments for your home
and garden. Custom orders are welcomed and can be designed to
suit a particular theme, color combination or special occasion. Turn around time
depends upon the season and what other projects I have going on. (10/15/09 - No custom
orders at this time - sorry!)
I generally work in a traditional mortar and grout process because I feel that
this process holds up the best for exterior pieces. I also do my own welding and
copper work and design many of the stands used to display my work.
- What does Artcycled mean?
-
- Artcycled is a name I came up with to express my desire to utilize recycled,
repurposed or reused materials when ever possible. It also reflects the
fractured nature of Picassiette or broken china or pottery mosaic which is the primary
style of my mosaic garden art. Recycling or upcycling items into new uses is a great green
alternative!
-
- I love taking old items and turning them into functional and completely
unique ornaments with a new lease on life. Recycle + Upcycle = Artcycle
