Busy Busy Painting!

Busy, busy as you can see from the rows of little tiles I've been painting for my fridge magnets which I'm hoping to get in my Folksy shop this week. Lots of craft fairs keeping me busy plus I'm now part of an art and craft co-operative which is open on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays during July and August. If anyone is in Sheringham this summer (it's down Wyndham Street near The Lobster pub) pop in and you will find my mosaics and coasters and also textiles, jewellery, photography, stained glass and painted pebbles all by Sheringham based artists and craftspeople.

It's that time of year when I have to start booking craft fairs for the summer unfortunately some of my favourites have been cancelled this year so if anyone out there has got any recommendations for good craft fairs/markets in East Anglia then please let me know. So far I've got Stamford Craft Market on May 16th which has about 70 good quality stalls along the high street. A busy bank holiday weekend with the North Norfolk Country Fair on Sunday 30th May at Weybourne and one of my favourites on Monday 31st May in Southwold with plenty of entertainment and lovely stalls. A new one for me on July 10/11th at Clare Priory and then Wells carnival on August 3rd on the quayside. And more still to book.

Hello and welcome to my blog written by me Carolyn Graham about my business 'The Mosaic Garden' which I will try to keep regularly updated even though I haven't a clue about social networking and to be honest I'm a bit daunted by the prospect and I'm wondering what on earth I'm going to write to make it interesting! Anyway I thought I'd start by showing you where I work, here's my 2 sheds one where I cut up all the mosaic tiles and where I make a lot of mess - glass flying everywhere and the other shed where I make the mosaics and do my painting - a bit less messy but that I have to share with a few mice who are rather partial to eating my sketch pads!



This is where I make my mosaic pictures of beach huts, lighthouse, boats and all sorts of other mosaic items - mirrors, letters, picture frames, jewellery, cards and also my popular handpainted ceramic coasters of birds, flowers, patterns and seasidey designs.
I'm working on my website - http://www.themosaicgarden.co.uk/ so in the meantime my work is available to buy from - www.folksy.com/shops/themosaicgarden and also http://www.themosaicgarden.etsy.com/
