The original purpose of making these pots was not to sell
them, but as a creative outlet for myself. People kept asking to
buy them. Eventually, finding my own and my friends' shelves filling, it
became obvious that the time had come to let some of them go.
(The pots, not the friends.) This has led to me being far busier
than I had ever intended to be, which is just fine.
Please forgive the photo quality—I
glue glass better than I shoot pictures. Each person who has
received one of these pots has commented on how much more
beautiful the pieces are in person. My photography fails
to capture the
detail or the reflective qualities of the hundreds of pieces of
glass that cover the surface of each piece. But you get the idea.
These images are a sampling of some of the ideas
people have come up with for their own mosaic pieces. Several of the
themes have been repeated on other pots, bowls, or tables, but (with one exception) never the same design.
If you are interested in having an item designed especially for
you, write to me and we'll talk. I don't do commission
work, but if you have a theme you would be interested in, let me
know. I'll play around with your idea and we'll see what
happens. If you like it, you may purchase it. If not, I'll have something
new for myself. (It has yet to happen that anyone decides against buying one.)
Prices vary according to the piece, but the 8" tall
pots (the size of most of those pictured) start at $500.
There seems to always be a waiting list, so be sure and contact
me early if you have a special occasion coming up and are
looking for a gift to be ready by a specific time.
While it is probably perfectly safe, I never recommend putting anything wet in any of these mosaics, but they could be used for holding dry items - potpourri, wrapped candies, etc.
