Happy New Year, everyone! And thank you for a wonderful 2015! The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2015 annual report for this blog. Here’s an excerpt: A San Francisco cable car holds 60 people. This blog was viewed about 2,600 times in 2015. If it were a cable car, it would take about 43 […]

Tulip Lady

November 21, 2015

Believe it or not, I had one friend that did not yet own a mosaic masterpiece of mine… :p So, looking around his living room, I noticed the presence of two lovely graphic tulip paintings in black & white and white & black. That got me thinking about introducing a smudge of color, just a […]

I just wanted to share a little joy with you… AdN Mosaic made it in the newspaper “Romania Libera” on September 25th, in the DIY section. That is thanks to my regular supplier of mosaics – Top Mosaic – with whom I have a very pleasant collaboration. I’m sure you can acknowledge and, hopefully, rejoice […]

Dark, dirty, and depressing passageways taking people to their homes, day after day, season after season, year after year. Is that all we can have? I say no!!! I have a dream and I would like to share it with you! In February 2012, I posted this proposal for a mosaic mural. Because of lack […]

After a couple of days of grouting and cleaning and grouting and cleaning, here is the long-awaited Gaudi-inspired terrace mosaic bench.   Before & After

Mosaic Terrace Bench Sunnier Days

May 31, 2014

0

In-between the way too long periods of rain, I did manage to squeeze in a bit of work on the mosaic bench. This is how it looks like with the mosaic on it. Does it remind a bit of park Guell as planned? Next step, the grouting. And we’ll be done! Excited to see the […]

Philosopher Stones’ Community Park Proposal

May 24, 2014

0

While waiting for some sunny days, I remembered I haven’t showed you another social project I spotted. A bunch of cement block on which people sit in a park close to my home. Doesn’t it scream for a mosaic project? Any suggestions? I was thinking of the 4 seasons’ theme, since there are 4 lateral […]

Mosaic Terrace Bench Update

May 17, 2014

1

Remember I was looking for a theme for the mosaic terrace bench on my best friend’s terrace? Well, as usual, I like thinking of my “client’s” personality and interests and get inspired from there. It is him, after all, that is going to see it most often, and it is crucial that he likes it. […]

Geopolitical Color Pallet

May 10, 2014

2

A few weeks back a friend asked me to create a mosaic birthday present for one of his best friends. The only information I had was that he is interested in geo-politics and likes the color yellow. I searched the web for geo-political symbols and got the globe. And since the “yellowest” continent is Africa, […]

I’ve been wanting for a long time to do a bigger project. Remember the Mosaic Mural Proposal? Well, the approvals I needed to get stopped me in my way. However, I do have a best friend with a gorgeous terrace. And on that terrace there is a cement bench just waiting to be mosaic”ed”. I […]

Portuguese Influences

April 19, 2014

0

About a year ago I finally went on a Portuguese trip that I always wanted to take with one of my oldest friends. I was mesmerized by the painted tiles that were everywhere. As I returned from this trip, I wanted to experiment with something else than mosaic, something more sculpture-like. It was a difficult […]

Beaded Mosaic Jewelry

April 12, 2014

0

For some time now, the big, heavy, funky necklaces keep on being fashionable. I always wanted to try making one myself. After having experimented with the beaded lampshade, I also managed to find some time for pampering myself. I started experimenting with different models and let them flow not from my head, but from my […]

CCDG Logo Mosaic

April 5, 2014

A friend has been curious for a while now about how his organization’s logo would look like in mosaic… To thank him for being supportive, I made time to create something I hoped he’d appreciate – the logo of his company and the logo of one of its’ projects in mosaic. Here are the logos: […]

Abstract Brown-Blue

March 30, 2014

1

As nature comes to life, we remind ourselves to pamper not only ourselves but also our lovely green companions. This flower pot I actually made for my mum’s house, as she loves the blue/brown combination of colors, but I now find that it finds itself much better in this little tea-time retreat area. And here […]

Although I haven’t been posting for a while now, that doesn’t mean I haven’t been keeping busy. So, in the next few weeks I plan to update you with my latest projects for friends and from around the house. Today’s project is a lampshade do-over – a delicate and special project for a delicate and […]

Today is the International Day of Happiness! I like having little reminders like this that make me think about the valuable things that I take for granted.

Mosaic Bust

February 27, 2013

One day, a couple of months ago, outside my apartment I found a deserted bust. Its destiny looked grim, so I thought of taking it in and giving it a new chance. I saw some very nice art projects done using these deserted mannequins. Here is mine! The found bust: The design (my inspiration came […]
