Vintage Fabric Effect Mosaic House Number

Vintage Fabric Look Mosaic House Numbers
Vintage Fabric Look Mosaic House Number

These house number mosaic plaques have been designed to look like they've got a vintage Liberty style fabric background. The mosaic is made up of small flowers, and butterflies, filled in with small leaves. The grout on the front design has then been overpainted with weatherproof paint to create a rough texture to finish the vintage fabric look.

Three Orange Butterflies Jade Mosaic Garden Bird Bath

Three Orange Butterflies Jade Mosaic Garden Bird Bath


The butterflies on this bird bath have iridescent wings that shine with metallic magenta and gold when the light catches them. With the two shades of jade making up the background it gives this bird bath a very exotic look. The colours also remind me of vintage fabric like William Morris, or Liberty. It's a lovely bird bath that would fit into any style of garden.

Feathered Friends

Peacock Eye Mosaic Garden Bird Bath

Peacock Eye Detail

There's a thread on the Folksy Forum that is aimed at kickstarting inspiration. It's a monthly theme that gets the creative juices flowing. This month's theme is right up my street. Feathered Friends. So I decided to remake one of my old designs, Peacock Eye. I've slightly tweeked the colour palette to make it more green and peacock coloured.
