About this Product
This is a stained glass mosaic set into a brass heart pendant with a brass chain. The mosaic is made of off-cuts from larger projects, including iridescent, opalescent and mirrored glass. This is a style I often use in heart pendants, where bands of color criss-cross as if it is wrapped in ribbons or "bound." It can be interpreted as a gift or as tied closed and protected. The colors and shimmer don't register well in photographs because the light catches and reflects on each piece differently and at different angles. It's about 1".

Meet the Maker
I've been making art my entire life, but when I discovered mosaic in 2001, I was hooked. There is something about using broken and cut pieces to create something whole and beautiful that is cathartic, meditative and healing. Also, mosaic is so functional, I love that I can make wall murals, backsplashes, shower inserts, floors, and also wall art and jewelry. Mosaic was the first medium that got me to focus and work hard to learn as much as possible and to become proficient. Still, I am sort of compulsively creative and I have tons of other materials I like to play with. Often, I'll take an art kit on vacation and come home with 20 new papercuts or felted ornaments or embroidered designs. I also experiment with mosaic and create small items between commissions. I'm part of a group of Pacific NW mosaic artists, and we occasionally show our work together. While I normally don't make artwork that isn't commissioned, these exhibits push me to stretch and make ambitious mosaic work that expresses my own ideas, whereas my commissions are all made for other people and must fit into specific parameters. Unsold work from these exhibits will also make their way into this shop now and then. Thank you for supporting creatives!
