Mag-Nots

These are what I've been working on lately. Some of us CGGE artists are having an exchange of small originals the size of magnets without the magnet, therefore we're calling them magnots or magless. Each one had to be no larger than 2"x2" and an original design. Thankfully we only had to make 15 -- this is the first time we've had this challenge/exchange. It was a fun project and I'm excited to see them all.

Zuni Bear

I'm always looking for odd pieces of wood to mosaic and found this small piece in our garage (Jim never throws anything away LOL). Didn't know what design to make but saw a tile with a Zuni Bear fetish on it and went for it.
Not so sure about the grout color, but it is what it is at this point.

Butterflies in a Garden

Grouted yesterday. It turned out really nice, may have to put this one in my yard ;)

Garden Stone

We have a lizard that resides in our yard all summer long and I thought it would be fun to make a garden stone with a likeness of him sunning himself on our garden wall.

Mosaic China Hearts

Another side by side angle:



Blue China heart:


This heart is made with different blue china pieces, glass and pottery heart focals.

Lavender/Blue China Heart:



Although it looks blue the glass used in this piece is lavender/blue and the little flowers in the china pieces are lavender.
