Mosaic Mum Sarah Bourne

I am a visual artist working with vintage ceramics and retro objects. I up-cycle and re-purpose old and worn out artifacts and give them a new lease of life. I love the Mid Century modern colours and patterns on crockery from the 50's, 60's and 70's era, which I use to inspire my designs. The desired outcome is to create fun, quirky and colourful sculptures, imbued with nostalgia for home and garden. In contrast to making sculpture, I'm also a portrait and lifestyle photographer - for more information please visit www.myhalforange.com

One happy #mosaic #magpie at home with his new owner @clutterfingers made with #irridescent #carnivalglass and #black #midwinter #pottery supplied by my client who like me is nuts about #midcentury #ceramics lovely to see the #magpies in situ looking #joyful from the kitchen window! I have discovered a fondness for these #playful #birds who mate for life #loyal #love #nature #art #artist #mosaicart #mosaicartist #artistsoninstagram #artistsofinstagram #artsandcrafts #sculpture #garden #gardensculpture (at Melton Mowbray) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqZUcdKlQdC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1sjae34vfkflw
