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.
