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.

Vintage Flowers Mosaic Garden Bird Bath

Vintage Flowers Mosaic Garden Bird Bath


The lovely neutral, natural palette used for the mosaic in this Vintage Flowers bird bath give the flowery pattern a fab vintage fabric look. The neutral tones are used in a graduated style on the border of the bird bath. It's a bird bath that would suit any style of garden, contemporary to cottage.

Linear Shoreline Mosaic Garden Bird Bath





Linear Shoreline Mosaic Garden Bird Bath

My latest range of bird baths is called Linear. This is the first design in the range and it's named Shoreline. It uses the colours you'd find by the shore and includes, sky blues, sea greens, and sandy browns. The pattern line colours are randomly placed and some include translucent tiles to represent seaglass, and stone pebbles which add depth and interest to the design. I've used terracotta tiles on the border to blend in with the saucer and focus the eye on the base.
