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.
