This is an idea I've had for a while, to make mosaic topiary and I've finally managed to try it out, and I think it's worked. The mosaic plaque is designed to be hung on a wall or fence, then you get to design a display by adding your own choice of pot, filled with whatever plants and flowers you choose, and you link the pot and plaque with a stem of your choice too. No pests and diseases, no pruning, permanent full bloom flowers, what's not to like? |

Here are the three new roses designs that have now been added to the bird bath section. Canal Folk Roses, Vintage Pink Roses, and China Blue Roses.
Two new bird bath designs that I have created this week, that were heading for the website, but sold on Facebook before they got here. The first is the bird bath version of the Pink Roses hanging heart (also sold on Facebook before it got listed here). The Pink Roses Bird Bath also has the iridescent roses as well as the matt pinks which adds interest to the design, and uses black grout to really pick out the colours. The other roses design is the China Blue Roses. The idea for this design was that the blue roses were representing a pattern that you'd find on a china plate, then the white was a nod to the china being broken in pieces and used to mosaic. I used grey grout on this one because I wanted it quite soft to tie in the white a bit, and the grey reminded me of the rough edges you get on broken blue and white stoneware.
If you follow me on Facebook you can see these designs taking shape, and if you're interested you can message me to see if it's available. You can also message me there if you've seen something that's sold and you can see if I can recreate it for you. You can also use my Contact Form for that too. The first new design of 2015 from me, the Pink Roses Mosaic Hanging Heart Garden Decoration. I had the rose design that I had used in a bird bath a few months ago, and I decided to use it to create a fabric look hanging heart. The roses are very delicate iridescent and plain pastel pinks, and fresh greens are used for the leaves to give a nice bright background. It's worked really well with the black grout popping the tile colours out. So 2015 has started well with this design, which I like so much I am going to use it in a bird bath, and I think I'm going to try more colourways of it too. You can either follow me on Facebook to see these new designs take shape and find out when they get listed on the website, or you can keep an eye on this blog.
