Groovy patterns and colorful designs. All one of a kind.
The full collection can be seen in my Etsy shop at www.geminimoonmosaics.etsy.com.
I often go on treasure hunts at local thrift stores, flea markets and tag sales. It is at these places I find the most interesting plates, platters and random objects to use in my art. The mirrors in this section all have been made with recycled, hand cut, vintage plates. You may recognize some of them from the 60's and 70's, which is my favorite type of patterns to work with.
All mirrors will arrive ready to hang with a very secure wire on the back. Simple picture hanging hardware may be used on most mirrors. If specific hardware is needed on a certain piece, it will be noted in the description.
