| Artcycled Mosaics offers handmade, one of a kind upcycled mosaic
jewelry, garden art and home accessories. My garden art ranges from bird
baths, mosic fish, tables and outdoor friendly mirrors. My unique broken china
jewelry includes pendants, necklaces, earrings, rings, bracelets and belt buckles all hand
cut from upcycled and recycled china plates |
|
| 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. 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, if you see something you are interested in please contact me for price and
availability.
- For my one of a kind mosaic jewelry please visit me at a
show, see a list of the shops you can find my work or visit my Etsy shop, ArtcycledMosaics.Etsy.com.
Each location will have an ever changing variety of pieces available.
- Special Projects
For the 2011 Northwest Flower and Garden Show I
had a blast working with Susan Browne Landscape Design to provide some fun and colorful
elements to her Gold Medal "Run Little Pigs Run" display garden. I created
some truely unique flowers for the entry to the wolf den as well as an assortment of teal,
orange and black flowers in front of the straw house. Photos can be found at
the bottom of this page and on my shows and events page. |

| 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
