Room full of Butterflies 2012

Anticipating the opening of a new coffee shop at the rear of his Sherwood gift shop and gallery, “A Room Full of Butterflies”, the owner commissioned a mosaic. ​

​With British butterflies being the obvious choice for inspiration I created a large piece to hang over the doorway to be viewed when in the café.

When weather is not an issue for making mosaics there are no limits to the materials that can be used. Here I was able to combine all types of patterned crockery with traditional vitreous tiles and stained glass.
