Custom Mosaic Jewelry Box

Custom mosaic jewelry box made with jewelry and favorite flowers -- yellow tulips and blue hydrangea.
A wooden box was finished with clear polyurethane. I then made a design sketch of yellow tulips and blue hydrangea that incorporates some jewelry -- earrings, pins and pearls -- that has a sentimental value to the client. Blue and yellow stained glass mosaic is hand cut and grouted dark charcoal. Some jewelry pieces are set into the grout, and some are mounted on the mosaic.

  

Teal and Amber Custom Mosaic Picture Frame

This is a custom 4x6 mosaic picture frame for someone's grandson. The client wanted to match some items on her desk -- teal pencil holder and red-amber Tiffany lamp. So the color combo was established: dark teal, amber, cream, red, and Van Gogh textured stained glass.

The mosaic was made on a recycled wooden frame using stained glass scrap, with emphasis on teal and a few touches of deep red glass. A dark charcoal grout complements hand-cut stained glass pieces.

 

Upcycled handmade wooden box with blue glass nautical mosaic

Upcycled handmade wooden box with blue glass nautical mosaic.

I found this beautiful wooden box in a thrift shop and gave it a little touch of mosaic. This box has a distressed wood appearance, man-made marks to look old and worn out, and decorative touches of metal corners. Its hinges allow 180 degree opening. I cleaned this box up and added a light coat of varnish to brighten up and give fresh look.

...and created a nautical abstract mosaic design -- a little orange sailboat surrounded by blue-green ocean waves. Each glass piece is hand cut and glued to glass-base box cover, grouted light grout and sealed.

Green Mosaic Butterfly Mirror

Green Mosaic Mirror. I found these small mirrors in a thrift shop and gave a mosaic makeover. I chose a variety of textured green stained glass, with some touches of a beautiful, patterned Van Gogh glass. Each glass is hand cut, grouted dark gray and sealed with grout sealer. These small mirrors' sides and back are painted black to complement grout color.
