Made from mis-fired pottery made by a local potter, this mosaic mailbox has a natural look to it that fits well in a garden setting. I use an exterior grade adhesive and seal the grout with a water-repelling sealer for all season, all weather use. This mailbox is being used in a northern climate on a regularly-used gravel road in a rural setting and has been going strong for years, even after being hit by the snowplow. This listing is only for a mosaic made from handmade pottery. It will cover front, sides and back completely and is made from a mix of hand-made pottery mis-fires and broken items. For a mosaic with patterns or made from broken dishes, please inquire.
Vintage Butterfly Mosaics
I make broken china mosaics from loved and vintage china dishes. If you have broken a special piece, I can make it into a new form that you will enjoy for years to come. I also have a large selection of china that I have collected in various colors and patterns to create your dream piece. I have over 10 years experience making mosaics that are functional or art pieces, for indoor or outdoor use. I also have a selection of pieces already made for purchase or inspiration.
I also do installations and public art. You can see my work at the Conrad Hilton in Washington DC or at Mercy Hospital in Joplin, Missouri.
I was kept informed about progress, and I am delighted with the results. I have gotten many compliments already.
The mailbox is gorgeous! I would highly recommend her!
