Happy clients

I delivered the final two mosaics for a client in Surrey yesterday. The garden has recently been re-designed by a Hampton Court Show gold and silver gilt winner and is absolutely beautiful. It was very flattering to be asked to produce three exterior wall mosaics to complement the garden designs!

They are such lovely and generous people to make mosaics for as we always have a lunch made from fresh produce from their allotment and a glass of something bubbly - it is a true celebration. In true British fashion I find it a bit embarrassing as it is usually just relief that I have designed and made something someone else finds either beautiful or useful (to quote William Morris).

Anyway, the sun shone so final grouting could be done once the boards were positioned on the wall of the courtyard.

On the train going to deliver the pieces I was inspired to start sketching some ideas based on ram's horns after seeing two in a field as we dashed by. I am always amazed by motifs that keep re-appearing in my work (some from over twenty-five years ago as a student). I would like to work on some designs that are for general sale so keep an eye out for my next blog.
