New year, new idea.

Bee and Daisy Mini Framed Mosaic

As usual, when the new year comes around I tend to have an idea for something new. This time it's not so much new designs, but a new way of displaying them. So I've decided to add a few home decor, framed mosaics to the range. Still perfect gifts for wildlife lovers because most of the designs I frame will be my wildlife inspired ones that I've made for outdoor plaques, or onto bird baths. The first one was a mini bee with daisy, with a mosaic measuring 8cm x 8cm.

Hedgerow Bees Framed Mosaic

Decided to go a bit bigger for the next one and use a coloured frame rather than a plain one. The colour of the frame actually inspired which design I chose to put in it, which was the Hedgerow Bees with the soft pinks and whites of the flowers and the pale aqua blue sky complimenting the pastel blue frame with it's mosaic size of 19cm x 19cm.

Autumn Jewel Tree Mini Framed Mosaic

The latest design I've made is a miniature version of my Jewel Tree design. I chose the Autumn tree and added a tiny silver bird to it. As it's indoor use I can start adding some of these other embellishments that might not survive outdoors like the more robust mosaic. Keep an eye out for more of these framed designs because I'm finding them super fun to make so I can see a few more appearing in my shop soon.

Bees, butterflies and moths.

Moths Mosaic Garden Decoration

I've gone a bit bee, butterfly (and moth) mad. Well, you can never had enough buzzing, flitting and fluttering in your garden, can you.

Lots More New Things

Moroccan Pool Mosaic Bird Bath

Got a creative roll on at the mo. Lots of new things added to my shops. A couple of new bird bath designs with completely different feels. This first one is another colour version of my Moroccan Pool design. I really like the exotic feel this geometric pattern has, along with the deeps blues adding to the feel of a cooling mosaic pool.

Branches Mosaic Garden Bird Bath

This second new bird bath design, Branches, has a more modern, Scandinavian feel with it's soft coloured miniature leaves on white branches, and larger leaves making the border. A lovely fresh feeling design.

Hidden Bees Mosaic Hanging Heart

The Hidden Bees design that I had made on a butterfly is also now on a hanging heart. The heart has two hidden bees, but still has that soft, subtle William Morris feel to the design.

Bees & Daisies Mosaic Butterfly

There's also a new butterfly with Bees and Daisies making the wing markings. The bees have iridescent wings that shine with metallic colours, and the daisies have transparent centres with an iridescent rainbow finish too.

Lancashire Rose Hanging Heart

The newest design is a Lancashire Rose Hanging Heart which has lovely brick red tiles used for the rose that are just like the brick colour used in Lancashire buildings, so a great decoration for anyone who loves Lancashire.

Beautiful butterflies!

Summer Meadow Mosaic Butterfly Hanging Decoration

I've found some new bases to work on. Butterflies! Bit of a mosaic classic, but I'm going to try and do something different on them. The first one I put a version of my Summer Meadow design. I was originally going to go random with the flowers, but it ended up as a mirror version on each wing, which I think gives a lovely folk look to this butterfly, which even has mini iridescent butterflies in it's wings.

Blue Flowers Mosaic Butterfly Hanging Decoration

The second Blue Flowers butterfly I wanted to look kind of like blue and white china. I've used blues and turquoise to create the flowers including roses, poppies and daisies. Then an off white grout to finish, which has actually given the butterfly the look of sea worn blue and white pottery. It would look great in a seaside theme room, or just as a splash of blue on a fence or wall in the garden.
