The Lappy Cats are here!

Lappy Cats Mosaic Water Dishes

A new range of outdoor use water dishes called Lappy Cat with a mosaic design of a cat having a drink from the dish reflected in the water, including the tips of their paw where they would rest on the rim. These dishes can be used by your pampered puss, but they can also be used by bird and hedgehogs in your garden too. A fun way to add a splash of colour and to look after your garden wildlife too.

Des Res's for your Garden Birds

Butterfly & Blossom bird box / White Daisy Meadow bird box / Green Man bird box

There's a new range of the Mosaic Maison bird nest boxes in my shop. There are two robin/wren boxes with the open front which they prefer using. One has a Butterfly and Blossom design with two teeny Orange Tip butterflies and pink and white blossom flowers. The other has a Green Man to watch out over your garden while the protecting the chicks growing inside the box with a bit of extra insulation from the sun and wind. The other bird box is a 32mm hole which is suitable for blue tits (and other birds which are listed in the item description in my shop), and the blue tit was the inspiration for the colour palette for the White Daisy Meadow design with two blue butterflies, and the background and box are various shades of blue too.

Bees, butterflies and moths.

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.

Vintage Bird Baths?

Blue Kaleidoscope Bird Bath

Green Kaleidoscope Bird Bath

A new bird bath design in two different colour palettes, but I think both have a slightly vintage fabric feel, and also the look of a vintage kaleidoscope pattern. I love the way they've turned out. Just click on the pics for more photos and details.

The Hedgerow Design

Bees and Hedgerow Hanging Plaque

A customer was thinking of getting a hanging plaque from me, but couldn't make up her mind about a design. A few conversations later, and the idea of a hedgerow was given to me, as it was the name of her house. I originally came up with a design with dog roses, rosehips and blackberries, and made that as a general hanging plaque because I liked the idea of that design with my trademark bees included. That design morphed into a conifer, holly and blackthorn design to match the hedges around the house. I then made another roses version with the sloe berries and flowers of the blackthorn (currently available in my Etsy shop). I can see this hedgerow idea being quite a fruitful one. Customers do give me some great design inspiration.

Holly and Autumn Wreath and Heart

Holly Decorative Mini Wreath and Heart 

I've dipped into decorative wreaths. Seems like it's a bit of a thing now judging by how many I've seen around since I've started making mine. The original idea was to make a mini holly wreath as a festive decoration, but when the design was finished it seemed to just suit being a decorative design for the winter, or even all year. It's not overly festive at all.

Autumn Decorative Mini Wreath and Heart

As the holly version could be a winter decoration, I thought I'd try an Autumn version too. So with some red and orange berries, autumn leaves and some twiggy bits too, this is that design.

Harlequin Gypsy Bird Bath

Gypsy Harlequin Bird Bath

A customer asked me to make my Gypsy design, which is all shades of blues, with a random colour palette. I wasn't sure it was going to work because I thought the random tiles would lose the pattern. But, I tried it, and it worked. In fact it looked great. It looked a bit like a stained glass window that you see in the cathedral. I liked to so much I made a second one, and that one now lives in the US.

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.

Ey Up! Fun Mosaic Welcome Sign

Fun Mosaic Welcome Sign

I've managed to fit in making another in my series of alternatives to the traditional welcome sign. Each one has had a regional 'hello' greeting on, for a bit of fun to greet visitors to your home or garden. 'Ow Do and 'Ay Up are now hanging in their new homes. The latest hanging sign is 'Ey Up (Duck), which can be found on my website or in my Etsy shop at the moment.
