Mosaic

I've got that must-do-it feeling for mosaics at the moment. I think it was my visit to the Harlequin Gallery in Taunton (it used to be Makers - my favourite craft shop). Artist Jenny Dutton creates these amazing mosaiced female torsos using old china including pieces of charity shop ornaments - the odd horses head or figurine, with a few cup handles or china flowers thrown in. They are stunning.

My current 'must-do-it' is to mosaic a shoe - that is a real shoe - in china.

Here is part of an earlier mosaic project. She has been unwrapped from storage and currently sits in our house-shed next to the fridge.
