Some of my Mosaics

I have more but no soft copies. The cross one was a gift to my neice for her first communion. My exhusband, who is roman catholic should have told me that the Dove was supposed to be coming down from Heaven, not going up. My neice and her dad said that was ok, they loved it anyway and proudly have it hung up in her bedroom. See? I don't know everything, man!!!



This one I created for my mom for xmas last year - - it was a biggie.

Nice example of ancient art form. Have you done portraits in mosaic?

Seriously, I have done that! I will be sure to take my camera home and show you the one I can turn upside down or "side way over".

The cross one took a week or so to prepare everything for - - cuting the tiles, outling the cross, doing the dove. It took 3 days from gluing, grouting, cleaning, and shining! I always mess up my nails when I do one.

The big one for my mom took a couple of weeks....it was huge!

Thank you because I was kinda bugged by it and now I see it in church where the Dove comes down! ugh. I am a year new in church, so the symbol stuff is new still to me.


Thanks all - - and yes, making cat face is mosiac!

It depend on weight, size and how long it take a hours.
If you want to buy a small stuff it cost about 6 to 20 dollars. If you want to buy a big for hanging on the wall. it will be cost about 30 to 500 dollars. It depend on work for hours and days. You know I mean? If it's easy to make a fast. It will be lower price.

Awesome mosaics. Two years ago was teaching my students to make a mosiac for our special wall in the school ground and they came out great and is put onto the wall. It a special place for anyone to go and sit and ponder or to take some time out and just look at all the mosiacs that are around it. Very relaxing place.

I personally work on Jewelry Making more than Mosaics. My husband wanted me to work on jewelry more than mosaics. I was alike okay. My husband is go to running my jewelry business. He is work for build on my website. I will let you know when I am done. I have many pictures of jewelry on his macbook. I can't put these pictures on PC because of limited memory. I have to ask my husband to send all pictures in my login from his login. He is work at evening. That's suck! He isn't happy about his 2nd shift at work.
