Description

Each tile in this inspirational piece is handmade and impressed with deeply etched stamps. Word stamps were used for the focal tiles. After curing, a combination of antiquing mediums, acrylic paints and metallic wax is used to enhance and highlight the designs. The individual tiles are then arranged in a pleasing manner and applied to the handmade framed base.

The base is made using 1/2 inch plywood measuring 9 inches by 6 inches with a 1/4 inch solid wood frame, then sanded smooth in my workshop before moving into the studio to be painted and have the mosaic tiles applied. A sawtooth picture hanger on the back allows it to hang on the wall or sit in an easel on your desk.

The message in this mosaic is "Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a Butterfly". Such a wonderful view of the possibilities of tomorrow! You can personalize this mosaic for yourself or a friend by adding an initial or a special symbol like a dragonfly, butterfly, cross, etc.

This listing is for one handmade mosaic tile plaque. The mosaic shown is a sample. The focal tile will be as shown but the decorative tiles may vary. If you have a preference - for instance more geometric, less floral or vice versa - please feel free to say so. Your mosaic will be custom made just for you.

Your purchase will be sent by U. S. Mail Priority Flat Rate Box which gives you the best shipping cost and I’ll be happy to combine them with any other purchases. FOR INTERNATIONAL BUYERS… Please email me for exact postage charges for your order. I ship to many countries and I only charge the exact postal fees, no additional handling charges for customs forms, but if there is a duty or tariff charge that will be your responsibility. Your items will be shipped First Class International.
