My shop is right here in my home in Lakeland, Florida. I work in an enclosed porch, usually late into the night because it's cooler then, just listening to music and doing my thing. The neighbors have kindly tolerated the sounds of breaking glass.
I sometimes do painting and decoupage, but I always go back to mosaic. People save broken dishes and china for me, I shop yard sales and thrift stores and sometimes buy brand new fine china & porcelain that I fall in love with, and yes, I do, I break it. Some think that this is a little wacky, but most artist are.
I'm a self taught mosaic artist who loves bright colors and I try to be unique and creative. My mosaic art works incorporate a lot of 3D glass flowers and other trinkets and tesserae that I collect along life's highways
I pre make art forms and also do a lot of custom work. I've created tons of table tops and mirrors, some back splashes, and concrete benches & tables near people's docks here in Florida.
When I first started mosaicking in 1998, I just covered existing objects with mosaic and have since evolved into "sculpting" and then mosaicking some of my art forms, making the total experience my own.
I've done many art shows and have some of my items in galleries in the Tampa Bay area. I love showing my works on Etsy because it's all art. My business cards read "Robbi's Cracked Up Mosaics" but that name wasn't available on Etsy, so here, I'm "Just About You".
I hope I can be of some service to you. I would be more than honored to have something I created adopted by you, whether it be custom made or from my shop.
True mosaic art is created piece by piece and is very time consuming. It's hard to price...how can you put a price on something you love to do? But I too, have to eat and buy supplies to keep me going. If you love something I've made and the price just doesn't seem right to you, contact me with an offer and we'll try to work it out.
An investment in mosaic artwork is something that you can keep for years to come and pass down through the generations.
Thanks so much for sharing my story & visiting my shop.
