Mosaic Magnetic FUN

Today's post from Belen inspired me to create a FUNky new product.



This Upcycled Gift card mosaic Magnet (Can be used as a till tag for those baristas)...is the prototype.. What do you all think?



Would you want to see more Business Card sized mosaic magnets? Hmmm?

Books ARE fun

Something about me that most do not know.. I collect blank books. I OBSESSIVLY collect blank journals/ sketch books. I love them. They are inspiration waiting to happen...

Thing is, I doodle or write on one or two pages, then shelf them. That has to say something.. Therapist?

Last night, I decided to starbucks card mosaic the cover of one of the blank books. It turned out awesome! Here you go:

Mission Completion

More than twenty hours of cutting, placement and adhering later... I give you:





Mosaic made out of STARBUCKS gift cards!!

Just moments to go

This is the last photograph I took of the mosaic in progress.



There are about 4 hours left of work left from this point. In addition, I have to seal it and frame it. Then it is off to Cali!!


I will update again tomorrow, after the clear sealant coat is dry.

About 50% complete

When I initially took on this project, I felt as though it would be as easy one of my acrylic pieces. Boy was I WRONG!!

Do not get me wrong though, I am thoroughly enjoying it. There is something quite satisfying about watching the slow, yet steady progress of this piece.

Here is a shot of the mosaic at about 50% completion. As you can see, my Artist ADD has me jumping all over the place here!




I really do hope the gentleman that commisioned this piece enjoys it as much as I do!

Work In progress...

Without realising exactly what to expect, I accepted the commision. Now, I think I have under-charged for the piece!!

Last night, I spent three hours working on the mosaic. Cutting. Adhering. Setting. Oh, my goodness!!

I felt like I should have been done! But, alas, I still have about 75% more to do!

Concentration is on the larger elements. Once that is completed, I will go back and fill in any tiny spots that need it.

I leave you with a couple of Work In progress shots.

New projects underway

Over the past year, I have been creating jewelry, bags, accessories and a curtain. Each of these items was made with guft cards. Those gift cards were headed for the circular filing cabinet (aka garbage).

Now, I am working on a 2 ft by 3 ft mosaic. It is commisioned piece. Here is a shot of the first days work (about an hours worth of work.)




I will periodically post photos of the piece.

Once it is completed, I will ship it off to its new home. THEN, I will offer up for sale notecards and prints of the piece!! YAY!! What fun!

Until Later...
