Teal Picassiette Mosaic birds I wanted to share this pair of mosaic birds I created using vintage china from various resale venues. Mosaics created from broken china is called picassiette (also pique assiette), and it's my favorite kind of mosaic. It's a great way to use chipped, damaged or broken china. Left facing Mosaic Bird The single teal plate that became the tail feathers inspired the color palette. I cut the bird shapes out of 1/4 inch thick wood on a jigsaw, glued down the china pieces with clear silicon, and finished the birds by grouting between the china. Right facing Mosaic Bird I don't know which of the birds is the girl and which one is the boy, but these two are definitely love birds, and I am hoping to figure out a baby bird shape so they can have babies someday. Mosaic birds posing for a close up Here the two are having their close up. The birds are actually quite small, about 3 inches high by 5 inches tip of the beak to tip of the tail. Mosaic birds on Display At the moment I display them on a window ledge near a small reproduction Tiffany Window that came from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where the real much larger window hangs. The large Tiffany window (the real one) is currently my favorite stained glass window in the world, in case anyone has a spare one... (btw, notice the authentic shabby chic (?) of the window and window handle...) Name the birds! Leave suggestions in the comments I haven't named the birds yet, so if anyone has suggestions, please leave your ideas in the comments. Click on the images to see them enlarged.

Pink robins are little round, tubby birds that look like they’ve just had a hearty dinner at their grandma’s house. While female pink robins are brownish-black and look like many other birds, their male counterparts know how to steal the show: they have breasts with a saturated pinkish color and are truly eye-catching.

I live in northern NSW, Australia. I explore the Australian bush and generally photograph anything and everything that interests me, but nmost pareticualrly macro fungi photography is what I am passionate about and best known for. My images of mushrooms have featured in leading science and nature magazines across the globe, and my time-lapses of fungi growing are in many documentaries including Planet earth 2, Fantastic Fungi, Hostile Planet, Our Planet and The Kingdom; how fungi made the earth. I feel privileged that that the people we collaborate with at the Kunming Institute of Botany in China, even named a mushroom named after me – Panaeolus axfordii. I have been invited to document the fungi in Nepal, India, China, Myanmar, Thailand, Mexico and Chile, and of course it is a constant obsession in the fungi hotspots of Tasmania, the NSW north coast and southern Queensland. p.s. all photos are for sale even if they are not listed as such, or aren't high enough resolution here. Please contact me if you would like permision to use a photo, or if you would like me to check if I have other photos that may suit your requirements. You can contact me at the email address at the top of this page. Steve Axford - 2022.
