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.

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.
