Nancy Up North Creating visual pieces of art work has become a passion of mine.

Using different materials such as recycled china, glass, pottery, knick knacks etc and different techniques, I am finding the therapeutic value in bringing to existence whimsical fun art!

Working on the next project.....the frame or body of this project is giving me a head ache only due to the fact that I am new at sculpting....not under standing the concept just yet, but getting there!

My love of mosaics came by honestly... beloved broken or chipped ceramic plates or mugs, a vintage claw tub, and a supportive husband. This form of art has helped me immensely and takes me to a place where nothing matters...not world events, not cancer, nothing at all! I love creating and getting away from it all. Who needs fancy trips, jewellery or toys, when all I need is mosaics, my dogs, and a hug once in a while! Oh, and my husband to be beside!

The search for those totally-not-gonna-find-anywhere-else pieces for my next masterpiece is thrilling? This project will be completed in April at a workshop I'm attending, - can you guess what her name will be once completed????

Super stoked that our fave local spot S & S Creations is now rocking with art work from little ol' me! Sparky's all settled in at their fab shop and can't wait for you to meet the awesome owners Stephanie and Steve, plus greeter Luna and Rosie! Thanks for the love, Sparky's digs just got a major upgrade

It's hilarious how projects start, right? A thought, a color, or a specific piece can spark it! This Gnome began its life when someone handed me a broken vase and said 'fix it'. Voila, meet this Finnish Tontu (Pronounced 'Don't Do') or a Gnome.

Now, I need a name for this little guy.

Finnish Gnome folklore calls him a tonttu (prounced "Don't do") a mythological creature rooted in Scandinavian and Finnish folklore, often associated with the winter solstice and the protection of homes and farms.
Origins and Characteristics of the Tonttu
Household and Farm Protectors: Tonttus are believed to inhabit homes, saunas, or barns, bringing good fortune to families who treat them well.
Mischievous Nature: If treated poorly or if a house is kept dirty, they can play tricks or act mischievously.

Meet Sparky, the spark plug with a mischievous glint in her eye...she's unorthodox,
playfully weird, and a little bit offbeat. Sparky's got a knack for getting into trouble,
and she's rarely caught red-handed. Everyone she meets becomes the most
important person on the planet, at least until she decides to play a prank on them.
Sparky knows how to bring the party, with flair and a whole lot of fun.
Thanks for loving her.
Sparky is up for sale

The tool makes the job easier , less stress on my weak and arthirtic hands. This one should be a fun project...a little late, but using Jewlery to make a Santa mosaic. Fingers crossed this works put.
