I'm particular about the shards I use; very old shards more beautiful in color, crazing and texture. Decoupaged old photos, post cards, and other images add even more interest to a piece. Vintage rhinestone jewelry, silverware, Capodimonte flowers, birds, bottles, and anything else imaginable round out creations that can be tailored to create a deeply personal creation for a loved one. Grout is custom-colored to highlight the shards.

NEW GIFT SHOP

My work has been featured in Country Home Magazine, Nature's Garden Magazine, and other midwestern publications. During the past year, I've scaled back on my wholesale trade, shipping to an exclusive assortment of unique shops and galleries throughout the United States through the wholesale fine-craft distribution site, Wholesale Crafts.com. I am currently studying web site design and data base management, which I view as a type of mosaic of a different sort.
