Mosaic Garden Tool - Sculpture Fence Art - Decor Item
What could be cuter in your garden than a mosaic spade. Part sculpture, part garden decor, this pretty broken china mosaic is eye-catching and pretty. I start with a used garden shovel or fork and cover it in broken china which I hand-cut and piece to create an attractive design. I can cover just the shovel or the entire handle. I use a polymer grout and then seal the piece to repel moisture and stains. For best results, it should be brought indoors during the harshest winter conditions.

Meet the Maker
Vanessa Ryerse
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.
