Melissa's Motifs Pique Assiette Mosaics
Welcome to the wonderful, colorful, exciting world of Pique Assiette Mosaic. My pieces are made mostly from very old china shards collected from area antique shops, junk stores,
our local Salvation Army Store, E-bay, tag sales, estate auctions, and from the basements and attics
of friends and clients. Holiday ornaments, bird nest bowls, and mosaic kits are my featured items this holiday season.
I'm particular about the shards
I use; very old shards more beautiful in color, crazing and texture. Decoupaged old photos, post cards, and other images add even
more interest to a piece. Vintage rhinestone jewelry, silverware, Capodimonte flowers, birds, bottles,
and anything else imaginable round out creations that can be tailored to create a deeply personal creation
for a loved one. Grout is custom-colored to highlight the shards.
My work has been featured
in Country Home Magazine, Nature's Garden Magazine, and other midwestern publications. . I sell my work to unique shops and galleries throughout the United States
through the wholesale fine-craft distribution site, Wholesale Crafts.com.
