Mosaic Plates



Underneath the mosaic are old Homer Laughlin plates - scratched and stained - a perfect base for mosaics. About 2002.

Mosaic Panel - Basket, Birds, Flowers

Mosaic Panel - Basket, Fruit, Birds, Flowers, Sun, Phases of the Moon. Early 1990s.

Santa Fe Lamp #3

#3 in the lamp series. Early 1990s.

Santa Fe Lamp #2


Same pottery pieces as Lamp #1. Early 1990s.

A Trio of Mosaic Lamps

I was on a roll with lamps. Think I'll transform them to yard totems. Early 1990s.

New Mexico Lamp #1


I got some of the pottery pieces from a vendor at the Santa Fe, NM Flea Market. I also included some Bauer bowl pieces. Early 1990s.

Two shades of green and white broken tiles. Early 1990s.

My First Mosaic Project



I made this seashell mosaic in the 1980s.

Bathroom Mirror Cupboard

This was a $3.00 cupboard from a yard sale. I rag-painted it, added a new knob and then tiled the mirror edge. 2009.

My Metal Studio

This is my stash of stuff for metal and wood sculptures. There is some order here, even though it looks a jumble.
