New bird bath designs in stock




Top Left: Moroccan Garden bird bath / Top Right: Victorian Garden bird bath / Bottom Left: Herb Garden bird bath

Been busy making lots of new bird baths from old designs, but using new colours which are giving some really interesting finishes. Like this geometric pattern which is one of my oldest designs and I've named them all as the Garden design, but I've tried it out in three different palettes and it's given each one a completely different feel. The one using browns and creams has a Victorian tiled look, the blues are definitely a Moroccan pool, and the pale greens and purples has a definite formal herb garden look to it.

Beautiful Blue Sky and Bees in Blossom bird baths



The Beautiful Blue Sky bird bath with it's bees, dragonflies and butterflies, and the Bees in Blossom are both back in stock too. Both are like scenes of spring and summer reflecting in the water surface















Blue Bubble Sheep mosaic bird bath


The Blue Bubble Sheep design is back too.






















Gypsy Rainbow mosaic bird bath




And finally a new colour palette for the Gypsy design and we've got the Gypsy Rainbow which has lovely soft, muted browns and greens working out to richer jade greens and a very deep sapphire blue border. A great design to add that splash of colour in the garden.

Beautiful Blue Sky

Beautiful Blue Sky Mosaic Hanging Plaque



This is a design that I first made on a bird bath, but it was crying out to go onto a wall plaque, and I got commissioned to make it into one, so here it is. Think it's come out quite well.

Green Man Mosaic

The Green Man Mosaic Garden Ornament Range
Another new range that I've added to my website and Etsy shop. The mini Green Man 13cm plaque, which was the first design, has been extended into a 25cm bird bath, and onto a 25cm hanging plaque too. The Green Man is proving very popular because he is a symbol of rebirth, so he's a perfect decoration for a garden, and would make a great gift for someone getting a new home, or for a gardener.

Season Spirits and Jewel Tree

Mosaic Jewel Trees, and Season Spirits Hanging Garden Decorations
I have finally managed to get the full season set of Mosaic Jewel Tree Garden Hanging Plaques listed on my website, and joining them are a complimenting full set of Mosaic Season Sprites Hanging Decorations, which would look great dotted around a garden peeping out from the plants. The idea behind all the designs was to collect the colours of the season, so in Spring there is the pastels of blossom, the bright yellow of daffodils, and the fresh greens again the aqua blue sky. In Summer there's the deep colours of the flowers against the rich greens. In Autumn it's the tapestry of colour of the autumn leaves. And in winter the bright berries, bare wood, and the icy blues and white. Great on their own, but all designed to go with each other in any combination, so you could match a pair of seasons for a couple's birthday months, or just two seasons that you love the colours of. These can be found on my website, and in my Etsy shop.

Mini Mosaic Green Man Hanging Garden Decoration

Green Man Mini Mosaic Hanging Garden Ornament

Finally got round to trying out a Green Man design, which I've been wanting to do for years, but never had the time/forgot to do it when I did have time. I think he's come out quite well. One thing I didn't want was a sinister or creepy looking face, which some green man plaques look to me. I've had the words 'cute' and 'handsome' used about mine, so, I think he's nice enough to look at. I've tried to look up what the Green Man actually is or represents. What an enigma he turns out to be. The best reason I can find, that he's ended up as a quite common garden ornament, is that he represents rebirth. And anyone who has a garden knows that feeling when things start growing again in Spring, now you can have your very own Green Man watching over the plants for you.

Currently available to order via message on Facebook, but I hope to have him listed as a made to order on my website and Etsy shop very soon.

Muted Garden Heart Decoration

Muted Heart Garden Hanging Decoration


I had some magenta nuggets that I wanted to use in a design, and a slate heart that I wanted to create a garden ornament out of. So I designed a soft palette of purples, browns and pastel blues and toned down the magenta by adding a dark blue mottling to them so they tied in with the design. The white tiles used have a slightly pitted surface that has taken specks of the grout to create an almost white granite effect. It's a lovely Muted Heart Garden Decoration for adding a touch of subtle colour to the home or garden.
