Sometimes I Go Mosaic-Crazy!

I've always loved mosaics, from the floors of ancient Pompeii to the walls of Seattle's bus tunnel. I used to create mosaics from broken plates. Now, I create them in fused glass. This is much better--no grouting! Enjoy.

Bathroom Tiles Inspired by a Colorful, Whimsical Chandelier

What's hot pink, purple, yellow, aqua, green, and red? A fun, crazy chandelier by shopwildthings.com, and now, matching fused glass tiles for a bathroom!

Custom "Carnivale" tile inspired by "Fiona" chandelier

A customer in Florida sent us a link to the chandelier "Fiona" made by shopwildthings.com. She just re-did her entire bathroom, including tiling her bathtub surround in 6" tiles. She left empty spaces where art tiles would go, and then she found us.

We can't wait to ship her tiles off and see photos of the finished room. Bright, fun, a little bit eccentric . . . yeah, that's us!

Center wall of shower--coincidentally, we have a wall just like this in our entryway. Wendy built it.

Side wall of shower. Imagine our custom "Carnivale" tiles here!

Southwest Custom Glass Tiles

My husband and I have friends that live in Phoenix, AZ, and boy does it feel good to visit there in February. When one lives in Seattle, a trip to the desert in the middle of winter is always welcome!

It was after visiting there this past February that I came home and made these tiles. I love the cool turquoise against the hot red and orange--it reminds me of the red Phoenix soil against the crystal clear sky.

Mosaics in Fused Glass? Beautiful!

We love mosaics! Whether they are on the wall of an ancient Pompeiian villa or on the floor of a Seattle Banana Republic, mosaics appeal to something deep within us.

Using bits and pieces of fusible glass, I create my mosaics by carefully fitting together the pieces like solving a jigsaw puzzle. The colors need to coordinate, the shapes need to be interesting, and most of all, I need to be patient. The "grout" is really very finely ground glass called "frit."

Sometimes, I enjoy adding surprising details to my mosaics. The bowl above has bright lines of colored glass called stringer placed randomly on top of the mosaic.

The bowl to the left includes round dots of glass and a mix of translucent and opaque glass pieces.

The bowl below features stringer in the shape of swirls on top for something really fun.

I don't think I'll ever stop making mosaics, and fused glass mosaics keep offering me more opportunities to play!
