Ripples




'Ripples in a pond'
A Secret Hill Mosaics tree stump bird bath.

Inspired by pebbles dropped into water, the colours that surround me right now, mauve Jacaranda blossom, pale green eucalyptus leaves and the wide blue Australian sky. A gift for dear friends.
Hidden amongst the tiles is my mosaic 'signature', a small gum leaf cut from thin white porcelain.





Details: stained glass, vitreous glass, ceramics tile, glass gems, marbles, glass and foil beads, ceramic beads and terracotta grout.

Just gorgeous. Serenely gorgeous.

The ripple effect, the colours, the thin white porcelain gum leaf "...kills me with delight" and I love your header too.

Simply lovely, Duchess. Found the gum leaf too. (a bit like the "Where's Wally" books!)

Lucky, lucky birds!

you have such an eye! I agree, lucky birds!

I thin this may be one of my favourite things I've seen of yours. I fear the birds might not get to bath in it if it were mine...

Happy New Year.
