Succulent Modern Moorish Mosaic Pot

Modern Moorish Mosaic Succulent / Cactus Plant Pot Set

Modern Moorish Mosaic Plant Pot

I've had these terracotta plant pots for a while. I really love the simple shape of them, but wasn't really sure what to use them for as they are fairly small for most plants. But then I realised that succulents and cactus would be perfect in them. Which then got me thinking about dry, hot, desert, ancient culture, and I came up with a mosaic design that I hope has a feel of all of that plus is a little bit modern too with the shiny iridescent tiles and translucent tiles giving depth and interest, hence the name Modern Moorish as a nod to both styles. They would look great in the garden or in the house. I really like how they've turned out. In fact, I'm going to make a matching bird bath using these shapes too.

Moroccan Garden Mosaic Bird Bath

Inspired by the mosaic colours of a Moroccan courtyard pool, this Moroccan Garden Bird Bath uses deep blues, greens and soft aquas to create a geometric design. It would be great to add colour in the garden and would look fab with large leaved plants to create an exotic atmosphere in the smallest space.

Spanish Garden Mosaic Bird Bath

First addition of 2014 to my website, this Spanish Garden Bird Bath has a mosaic made with deep blues and whites that you'd find in Mediterranean ceramics. Especially pots for the garden. The geometric design also reminds me of tiled floors in Spain. It's a great bird bath to add a bit of atmosphere and colour to the garden, while also being practical for the birds.

I've for loads of new ideas for designs, so keep an eye on my website for more new listings soon.

Mediterranean Mosaic Garden Bird Bath

The first design in a series of new ones to be added to my website and shops in the next few weeks. This one has a geometric pattern made using shades of blue, turquoise and green giving the design a Mediterranean feel. The grey grout used brings the colours together and gives a lovely aged effect too. It's a perfect garden decoration, as well as being useful for the birds and other wildlife too.

Folksy Handmade - Morocco

Blue Splash Mosaic Bird Bath

Inspired by this bird bath design, I've gone to Morocco and the Middle East for this Folksy Friday. Working in mosaic I sometimes end up with a look from this area when I use certain colours, or shapes of tiles in a certain pattern. And this style comes out in other crafts, when these patterns and colours are used too. The home decor would look great used together to make a fab exotic room, and if you wore the jewellery together that would make a fab look too.

Green Splash Mosaic Garden Bird Bath

Green Splash Mosaic Garden Bird Bath

Green Splash Mosaic Birdbath

Following my Blue Splash bird bath, I decided I liked the way the pattern turned out so much I'd make it in another colours. So I decided to make a Green Splash version. This design is slightly different from the blue because it has iridescent tiles at the centre that shine with metallic colours as the light angle changes. It has the same exotic, Moroccan look to it that the blue version does, and it would look great in an exotic border. But, it would look just as good in a traditional garden with the fresh green colours picking up the greens of the other plants. It's a fab garden decoration that is useful to the birds too.

This Blue Splash bird bath has a pattern, and colours, that makes it suitable for all sorts of styles of garden. It would look great in a Mediterranean style garden with it's Moroccan / Moorish feel. But it would look equally good in a traditional English cottage garden picking up the blues of the flowers. Or in a modern / contemporary style garden as a stand alone decoration. A very versatile pattern.
