SALE SALE SALE!!!

Well I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone, judging by my last blog entry back in November I think my New year's resolution should be to keep up with my blog a bit more regularly!! So I'm just letting you all know that my January sale is now on in my Folksy shop www.folksy.com/shops/themosaicgarden - here's a little taster of what's on offer!

Mosaic Sailing Boat

I have been so busy lately with craft fairs, orders and the craft co-operative, all I've been doing is painting coasters, coasters and more coasters, so my mosaic work has been neglected. But at last I managed to finish one mosaic picture, admittedly it is a small one but at least I'll have a few mosaics on my stall at the weekend just so I can justify calling myself The Mosaic Garden!

Springwatch!

Springwatch in my back garden - my cat wasn't too impressed with the visitor!
Excuse the messy garden - one of the long list of jobs to do!

Some new ceramic coasters of teacups, cupcakes and the union jack added to my Folksy shop: www.folksy.com/shops/themosaicgarden

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.

Thought I'd add some American birds to my collection of ceramic coasters for my Etsy online shop: http://www.themosaicgarden.etsy.com/.
Here's an Eastern Bluebird, Northern Cardinal, American Goldfinch and a Ruby-throated Hummingbird.

Here are my latest additions to my Folksy shop: www.folksy.com/shops/themosaicgarden - they are sets of fridge magnets I just did as a bit of fun. They are mini handpainted ceramic tiles and a set of four costs £4 plus p&p.

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/
