What's new in the smashgirl studio?

My Bahama Bowl sold as I was listing my new Bali Bowl. The bowl was a garage sale find, I just added a touch of drama to it using these beautiful floral plates and finished it off with black grout.

Mega Rock Star is the plus-size version of my little rock star. I love working with rocks and pebbles! Sea Star is a mini-star embellished with sea glass, some pieces gathered this summer from the beaches of San Clemente!

Bubblegum is a fun wavy vase covered in clear and colored glass gems.

What's next? A few new things for Valentine's Day!

Cupcakes!

My addiction

Being a mosaic artist is a little like having an addiction,...you can never get enough dishes! My family and friends always think twice before throwing out that chipped mug or broken plate. They walk into my house with a cardboard box and my little "plate senses" perk up. What will be in the box this time? They hand over the stash and I feel like I just hit the Mega Jackpot in Vegas. If you're reading this and are a mosaic artist yourself then you'll understand. It's an addiction rarely discussed. I need help...need intervention for my plate obsession...I'm a plate junkie looking for her next fix...what do you have for me?
