This is a Victorian Woman theme picture frame. I bought all the objects in a box lid at an auction and decided to incorporate them into a mosaiced frame.

I absolutely L-O-V-E your work!!!! It's truly beautiful, amazing and inspiring! I've dabbled in mosaics before, but nothing to the extent of your work. Can you please send me an email with your instructions? fuzzykiwi729@yahoo.com
Where can I find all of the materials that I need though? I mean, I know where to get grout, ...»
but the broken glass? I can find glass on the side of the streets, but most of it will be the same color, as it is mostly beer bottles. =( (I highly dislike litter bugs!!!) Can I find it at craft stores? I know that I can find stones and stuff there, but the glass? Different colored glass is hard to come by these days. There is a store in the city that my husband and I are moving to soon (it's my FAVORITE store) that is a blown glass store. They also do stained glass. They have sheets of stained glass that you can buy, but it is very expensive, and they are quite large...for just one color. Anyways, I guess you can tell me about it in your email or on here.
Thanks SO much for posting this and all of these awe inspiring photos! Your work is truly divine!

Thanks everyone for all your wonderful comments. Nyomi, I will send you the instructions. The stained glass can be found at a stained glass studio and you can buy them by the sheets. There is also stained glass that you can purchase on eBay. Just search on there for "stained glass tiles" or "stained glass sheets." As far as the grout is concerned, make sure it is SANDED grout.

My favorite piece is the turqouise table-but everything is so pretty. Artist with a twist-almost like heirlooms to pass down to generations.

Absolutely stunning! This is the calling of my heart. I live in northern Wisconsin and would like to know if it would be possible to come to see your projects and to chat. I have begun several of this type of pique assiette projects (I am a French/Spanish teacher) and have seen some beautiful work as this in Europe....but to find YOU so close is my dream. I'd like to know how you go about finding the unique classic style plates, if you have an outlet for the silver trays, if you market ...»
things, etc. I have offers from shops to market my birdhouses...and what would be the going rate in southern Wi. ?? Your work is exquisite. And ...DO YOU HAVE A WEBSITE? Thanks for brightening my morning coffee!
