Weeping Sun makes me Smile

This mosaic is so bright and beautiful that the weeping sun just puts a smile on my face!

Mosaic Wall Mirror-Tears of the Sun

Vendor: Memories in Mosaics

The focal point and theme of this mosaic started with the Talavera Sun face. I just loved all the bright colors and continued this throughout the mosaic. The border is done in honey gold glass tiles along with deep cobalt blue ceramic tiles. I chose to use bright red glass tiles at each corner of the 12" mirror which represents arrowheads. Cobalt blue mini ceramic tiles are used for the circle surrounding the face as well as the half moon designs at the sides and bottom. The red mini tiles around the face are also ceramic as are the large diamond-shaped ones which represent feathers. The tiles for the body were cut from very colorful floral patterned dishes and went perfectly with the bright colors in this piece.

Dragonfly Modern Mosaic Wall Mirror

Vendor: Memories in Mosaics

This fun modern mosaic has two of the trendiest colors of the season-turquoise and bright orange. The dragonfly at the right corner is a Polymer Clay disk that I purchased from Peggy's Polymer Clay Creations here on Etsy.

The entire mosaic is made from different forms of glass from the orange translucent and opaque gems to the deep turquoise and lavender square tiles. The background was made by cutting 1/2" glass tiles into triangles and grouting with a charcoal color. The base is made of 1/2" plywood and framed using 1/4" wood strips. It was then painted black and varnished using a satin sheen. The overall measurements are 17 1/2" x 13 1/2" with an 8" round, beveled mirror inset.Read more at handmadeartistsshop.com

Lovely Handmade Necklace

Well EyeCandy Chainmaille did it again! Although not chainmaille this piece is really pretty.

Amplify’d from handmadeartistsshop.com

Aquamarine AB Crystal MicroEmbellished Sterling Chain

Vendor: EyeCandy Chainmaille

Special Introductory Price $21.95 originally $25 I wanted a different look for a chain to wear with my Cross and noticed the stone embellished chains. The problem was, the stones on most of those were to large to fit through the bail rings. So I took a high quality cable chain and added some 3mm Aquamarine AB Swarovski Crystals and 2mm silver beads. Now the chain sparkles and shimmers on its own enhancing any pendant it is worn with. The chain can also be worn alone or with other chains for the layered look. This one measures approximately 18" and has a spring ring clasp. While I can't promise it will fit through absolutely every pendant bail, the beads are tiny enough that it will fit through most.
