THE MIRROR SHOWN IN THIS LISTING HAS BEEN SOLD. I would be happy to create a similar mixed-media and shell version of "Octopus's Garden" to your special order in a process that would take about 4 to 6 weeks from date of purchase. Other color combinations, mirror base shapes and sizes, and inclusion of your own shells are possible. PLEASE MESSAGE ME WITH YOUR QUESTIONS AND FOR FURTHER DETAILS BEFORE YOU PURCHASE. "I'd like to be under the sea in an octopus's garden in the shade." Inspired by a famous Beatle's song and featuring magnificent fossil shells, green sea glass, Van Gogh stained glass, bits and bobs of raku and African trade beads. It's a visit to a magical underwater garden where octopuses and mermaids played a long time ago. This lovely and unusual fine art accent piece offers the viewer a portal to a place of unique beauty and quiet repose wherever placed in the home, for almost every style. It continues a line of custom-made mirrors reflecting the same originality and technique as my awesome larger mixed-media mosaics on repurposed surfboards as well as mosaic mirrors and keepsake boxes displayed on my for-show-only website at https://nadeanobrienmosaics.squarespace.com. The creative process begins as a general idea by the artist and then evolves "spontaneously" based on the individual patterns and colors presented by the glass, tiles and shells. Traditional mosaic grouting as well as the contemporary use of backfilling and pressing shells into thinset are used to give added depth, strength and beauty to the design. The edge of the mirror base is finished in mosaic tile. The back is painted and signed, with hanging hardware in place. A professional artist for over 30 years with an eye for pattern and motif, I literally surf the Internet for the most interesting and beautiful materials for my creations as well as mold my own tiles from polymer clay. My years as a certified ocean SCUBA diver have given me a great love and affiliation for the wondrous world under the sea. The organic beauty and texture of a living coastal reef rather than a stylized composition of perfect shells is clearly seen in my mosaics. There will never be two mirrors exactly alike. The items seen reflected in the mirror images are not included in the sale. This listing is for the mirror only. Thank you for visiting SurfingTurtleMosaics!
