Artcycled Mosaics offers handmade, one of a kind mosaic  jewelry,  garden art and home accessories.    This site shows some of the many handcrafted items I create including  bird baths, mosic fish, tables and unique wearable adornments.
Announcing
 
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.  I hope to add items on a regular basis and am currently offering unique recycled china pendants and earrings.
 
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.

And...look for my jewlery at Tasty.    Only a few months old and already making a name for itself on Phinney Ridge in Seattle.

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
