It is my joy to add this additional piece from Mieke in Feburary, 2010. What a great start to a new decade with an intreguing and captivating mosaic. Thank you Mieke!
Here also is a beautiful mosaic made by Mieke with all of the color, innocence and lovelyness that I am so attracted to by her work.
This piece contains tiles made of glass and stone mosaic tiles and flagstone,. I am very facinated at the reflections of light generated from the eyes of each fish.

I'd like to thank Trudy not only for her infinate patience as she waited for me (for several months) to straighten out some perplexing computer problems so I could add her latest work to my gallery.
I am glad that she waited because we are now rewarded with this beautiful mosaic called "Waterworld".

Holly Garbutt
I am proud to add this Beautiful Coy Pond glass on glass mosaic. Using an old dome topped window as a base, it is gratifying to see how well the balance between opal and transparent glass, large tiles and small, and orderly images placed into a background made of a disorderly array of small pieces works together like old friends at a fish fry (don't worry, nobody here eats Coy).

"Cave Canium" Is the word of the day as I just received this classic Roman entrance pavement mosaic with a very good rendition of the famous "Beware of Dog" Mosaic from the entrance to one of the houses in Pompeii. Ulrick did not tell me where this beautiful floor is located, but then, I didn't ask. Thank You Ulrick for the photo. Marble mosaics are rare these days. Your mosaic looks larger than 6' X 8' which can only mean that the tiles are very small.
Ulrick M. Martinez
"Hello it would be nice to see my work on the web. This is a entrance 6' X 8' in marble. Thank you Ulrike M."
Meet Kirsty Fletcher
. She is a very talented mosaic artist who pays close attention to the details of her work. Here is a great example that took only a week to finish. (It always seems as if time stands still when I am tileing)

I'd like to introduce Lauri Recanati of Israel
with her unique, intriguing, and very captivating mosaic style. She has been a loyal customer and friend for 2 or more years and it is my great pleasure to finally see what she has done with a few of my favorite tiles and so many other findings, glass jewels and other choice pieces.I hope to see Lauri break into the exciting and ever expanding USA mosaic scene. Lauri has graciously sent me a beautiful catalog of her work so I intend to change the mosaics I have on display for her periodically. Check back sometime!

Hello here two pictures of my work in the Netherlands Bye Bye Madeleine Daniels. It's been moons ago since I purchased mosaic supplies from you on eBay. I would love your opinion of my work.Rae Meyers
Hi, Joshua. I am finally sending you some photos of jewelry I made with plate pieces you cut for me. This is the antique button jewelry I design with stones and buttons and sometimes china bits. Happy holidays! Mary Gardner
Wilma Slijters is actually the 1st of 4 mosaic artists to submit their work to our gallery in September alone! It is rare that I get a new artist to display here every 3 or 4 months. I don't know what's happening out in the rest of the world but I am very glad to be getting all of these new mosaics to show off. Wilma sent me pictures of 5 of her mosaics and they are so well crafted and so beautiful that I'm entering all of them here. Enjoy this show, compliments of Wilma Slijters! Click here to contact the artist: wilmaslijters Jim sent this short note with some pictures of his mosaics:" Hi very impressed with the mosaics. Are the attached up to being shown. "I've got my answer... "Without a doubt they are!" I haven't received many sculptural (3-D) mosaics in a while and I think that you have a good eye for color, shape and design. I think that your work would be equally at home in a cafe, at an art museum or at my local library, post office or my living room. I wish I could see more detail on the frame! Click here to contact the artist: Jim Gardner Here are two new submissions by Elizabeth Larsen! I was very surprised to find out that this mosaic was done with smalti! This seems like an untraditional use of smalti tiles and I wonder why since it works so well here. Thank you Elizabeth for this image and I hope to see more of your work soon. Click here to contact the artist: Stella sent this picture of a mosaic table from the Netherlands!She didn't write any description or information about him or herself to go with it so I logged onto the website that provides her e-mail address and it was all in a language that I don't understand. There were some vampire pages and photos of a marathon. Here is a tabletop and that's all I've got to say about it. Click here to contact the artist: >Stella de Jonge Chris Zonta is a mosaic artist in Chicago where she teaches and has been doing mosaics for 11 years. As you probably know by now, my passion in mosaics is piquet assiette, so I am especially glad to display the work of someone who works old (and new) china into their mosaics. Chris does a masterful job of making broken china seem like custom-made tiles for her designs. Just click on one of the partial images to see more of Chris' work. Click here to contact the artist: Chris Zonta or better yet: Check out her website! Once again, I have been greatly honored by a mosaic artist whom I have long admired both for her unimaginably beautiful mosaics and just as much for her educational and promotional efforts here and around the globe. It is truly my pleasure to display these two wonderful pieces. (well, one of the following is a "piece" and the other is an Experience" Thank You Laurel, and I'm sorry I took so long! From here you may begin to tour some of the websites that are of Laurel True: Click here to contact the artist: Laurel True This Masterful mosaic reminds of my time spent on the Redondo pier in the 1960s I can even smell the fish and chips when I look at it! Click here to contact the artist: VICKI LANKFORD OR, at least, visit her website,krackedupmosaics Click here to contact the artist: Judi Maki Following is a picture of a mosaic depiction of the Roman Goddess Diana the Huntress. I managed to acquire this piece on an e-bay auction for the almost embarrassing amount of $42.00. The mosaic has raised many questions about it's origin, age, purpose, and artist. The mosaic is about 12" by 22". The tiles are glazed ceramic for the most part and there are 3 or 4 different grout colors as well as some ungrouted areas. 10% or so of the background tiles have a metallic bronze glaze that reflects light like small mirrors. The mosaic actually sparkles at night when the lights are on. There is no signature and you know as much as I about this mosaic. I have completed several trivets, a piggy bank and something else...I forgot what it was... Over the past 2 very busy years. I will try to put them up here sometime soon. I think I look forward to seeing my work on the web as much as any of you do! IN THE MEAN TIME, Right in the middle of my busy season I decided it was time to goof off a bit so I started making I must have been crazy to accept the commission for this work and probably made less than $2.00 per hour but I fell in everlasting love with mosaics of all kinds. Someday I will go back and take some better pictures of this piece. I am very curious to see some of the things that the people are making with the ceramic bits that I am selling. I would not only love to see any of your work here, I would be honored to display it here on this page along with your name and e-mail address.

Elizabeth Larsen
Elizabeth Larsen sent me this picture out of the blue a couple of weeks ago. It was just the mosaic I needed to see to calm my almost obsessive desire to complicate my work with too many tiny and "meaningful" details. Her piece is a calm and well mannered mosaic and just knowing that it was on my wall at work, (even at my back) would be like having a clear spring burbling nearby.

Another wonderful artist, Judi Maki, has finally shown me what can be done with beautiful abalone tiles. I have sold so many over the years and have seen nothing made from them. I was beginning to think that people who buy abalone shells simply admire them in a box or bowl or on their table and call it good. That would be understandable given the beauty inherent in abalone... but finally, here is living proof that abalone shell is being used in mosaics. Thank you Judi, I couldn't have used it any better. If tiles could feel, these would feel at home within this water world mosaic.
"Mosaics In A Bottle Cap"
Below is a picture of the first Mosaic that I designed and built over 25 years ago. Until last year, it has been the only mosaic that I have ever attempted. The mosaic design portion of this pedestal and watering trough is about 36 inches high and wraps around 7 foot Diameter concrete base. It contains over 10,000 pieces of cut vitreous (glass) tile from Italy and it took 6 months to complete. It stands on a bluff overlooking the rugged coast of northern California and plays host to a small herd of beef and dairy cows. There is a white marble statue from Italy. resting atop of this mosaic.
These are a few recent practice tiles I have done to try and get reacquainted with the techniques and materials I want to use to make mosaics. Just click on any of the following thumbnail images of the mosaic you would like to see a larger picture of:
I wish I had had a better range of colors but all I had was the leftovers from that BIG job I did twenty years ago. I still need some practice with my technique but I'm satisfied with this as being my "first" attempt at a mosaic this decade!
