We made our first college logo mosaic! This was a fun request over the summer for a piece celebrating Randolph Macon College. The finished mosaic was given as a gift to a friend of the school.

Making this fairly traditional-style logo mosaic was a fun change of pace for us. And of course we love that the work was in support of a local college and business.
If you haven't met them yet, we'd like to introduce you to our new, larger mosaic pendants. Designed with the same ombre fade from dark to light as our smaller pendants, this new style features millefiori and other visual treats. This is the flashy friend to our original, understated design.
We recently finished a commissioned coat rack based on our line of mosaic coat racks in reclaimed wood frames with hand-forged hooks. This big guy, however, was almost four times as big as our usual coat racks!
The client's hallway rug was the source of inspiration for both the colors and the design.
Pulling together the color palette and sketching out design ideas.
Johannah used grout lines and andamento, the visual flow created by the placement of the tesserae (tiles), to create a sense of movement and balance of colors similar to the rug.
Kyle created a reclaimed wood frame twice as wide as our usual frames to support both the physical and visual weight of the mosaic. He added his V-style hand-forged hooks to complete the piece.
