KutandPaste's Profile

Bio

My name is Cindy; I am the artist/owner of KutandPaste, as well as Mystic Mosaics by Cindy. KutandPaste serves to showcase my more “petite” mosaics and also allows me to offer some of my extensive collection of mosaic supplies to other mosaic artists who may not be as fortunate as I have been to have family and friends who call when they find fabulous "trashy treasures.” Mystic Mosaics if my full-time “gig” ~ I create large scale commissioned mosaics for homes and businesses and I also do mosaic instruction. I’m NEVER still, I’m always creating either with my hands or my head...art is not just what I do, it’s who I am ~ it’s my passion, my therapy, my heart and my soul.

I share my crazy, busy life with my husband Ryan and our two cats, Asia and D’Lyla in the rolling hills of Minneola, FL (a short car ride from Orlando...home of Mickey & Minnie, Mouse that is...and yes Virginia, there ARE hills in Florida!!). I also love to read, watch movies and cook; and I have a penchant for collecting cute readers!! I hate admitting that, but it's true ~ I figure if I have to wear them, they HAVE to be cute!!

MOSAIC STYLE ~ MICRO MOSAICS
This is the style in which I specialize, each piece of tesserae is hand-cut to approx. 1/4-2” in length and is hand placed with a pair of tweezers. The grout lines are also extremely small and many times the grout has been custom colored to match the overall color scheme of the piece. It is a labor intensive process, but it allows the overall design of the piece to be seen rather than the individual pieces themselves….it is what sets my work apart from most other mosaic artists. It is also reflected in the price, however, once you see my work in person you will agree that it is truly worth it.
