Indoor Mosaic Wall Art
Light Catching Floral Panel
A vibrant floral panel made from upcycled bone china and glass. I have chosen crockery which has a lot of gilt detailing which is visible in the petals, so catching the light in different ways.
Daisies & Dragonflies Mirror
A mirror made from a variety of recycled materials: the flowers are made from bone china plates, the centre of the flowers are scraps of glass fused into nuggets and are always happy accidents, the stems, leaves and grass are from stained glass off-cuts. For the dragonflies, they are more fused glass nuggets with reclaimed mirror for the wings. The sky is made of broken car window, with a sweet wrapper collage underneath.
Through the Garden Gate
I loved the concept of a path meandering through a meadow to a garden gate with a field beyond. Made from a combination of pre-loved broken china; vintage tile and . wine bottle glass.
Moon over Meadow
Mirror with a flower garden and a dark night sky, made in reclaimed materials.
Is this the Way to the Moon?
A vibrant sky using broken car window with sweet wrapper collage below, a garden and a sign saying "The Way to the Moon" pointing at a mirror.
Stupa Series One
Inspired by wall carvings on the walls of the Stupa in Sanchi, India. Using vintage cereal bowls and other ceramics.
Floral Mirror

Plastics
A mosaic challenge, instigated by BAMM (British Association for Modern Mosaics) to reuse waste materials.
This small mosaic is made from Actimel bottles, milk & fizzy water bottles, and some gold from the bottom of a box of chocolates.
Peacock
Learning the art of working with smalti with this small peacock panel. Smalti is used in traditional mosaics, and is a form of thick glass which is then cut to have random facets deflecting the light.
Carpe Urbium
An outsized fish in a fishpond, surrounded by "paving".
Currently on display at The Atholl Gallery
Monkadillo
Inspired by an image in the Luttrell Psalter.
According to the BBC, academics believe that at the time when the Luttrel Psalter was written, monks who did the illustrations drank beer made from Ergot infested rye, and were therefore under hallucinogenic influences.
Geisha Tryptich
Three panels in mosaic representing our perception of Japanese cultural heritage. Made from tile and ceramic, with a broken car window mosaic.
