I created this little gallery to make it much easier to see the posts on the blog relating to each mosaic. Just click on the title to see the post. Enjoy!
The Geisha Shrine
A beautiful Japanese plate found at a garage sale was the inspiration for this Japanese Geisha shrine.
Meditative Buddha with Water Lilies
Found this Buddha as part of a broken lamp base on the back of a truck. A series of posts tell the story of the journey to the finished shrine.
The Foo Dog Mosaic Shrine
A pique assiette mosaic shrine that started with finding a Foo dog that just begged to be used in a mosaic
China Mosaic Shrine
A China mosaic in more ways than one. All the ingredients are China related. Blue Willow, a crane, a Buddha and fish chopstick rests.
Birds Love Fruits
An abundant collection of fruity dishes and phoney fruits inspired this very fruity shrine.
Pique Assiette Stepping Stones
Nothing like walking through the garden on mosaic stepping stones. There's a tutorial too.
A Stepping Stone Tutorial, Helen's Way
My version of making stepping stones with broken dishes and tiles.
Toucan Tray
A pique assiette mosaic tray that I like to call the Toucan tray because the colors remind me of the colorful bird.

Our First Mosaic Birdbath
This was the first ever thing we made in mosaic. A pretty ambitious project that turned out fine.
Spiral Beach Glass and Beach Pottery Bird Bath
The dish is done in a mosaic of beach glass since beach glass really only looks good wet. And the rest of the mosaic is Beach pottery. So smooth to touch.

Pale Beach Pottery Mosaic Mirror
I used just the palest of beach pottery pieces to create this mosaic mirror frame.

I love the creative, intuitive colorful pieces. Thanks for the inspiration. I’m making a bowl with kids in transitional housing to sell at an auction, and working on my own with pique assiete on square tiles, to put – I’m not sure where yet. Thank you!!
I love the mosaic mirrors. Where did you find the wooden frame? I’ve looked and looked.
Hi Dona, Thank you for your comment. As for the frames, not sure which mirror you’re referring to, but for the wide frames we use a plywood board and glue a mirror onto it. Then we just mosaic around the mirror. You can also cut out plywood into any shape for your frame that way. The little square mosaic mirrors done with beach pottery are just those ubiquitous IKEA mirrors you can get for $5 anywhere.
