Just as the skies in January 2011 were turning dark blue with heavy cold rain that seemed to never end, I decided I needed a lot of color in my life so I took an Art class on Stain Glass...or so I thought! As I walked into the art studio full of people playing with Styrofoam and cement I thought I had the wrong building. As it turned out I enrolled in a class on how to make cement outdoor sculptures. I couldn't have backed out and show my embarrassment so I too, found myself playing with Fiba tape and cement wondering what in the heck did I get myself into!

As my cement piece of art was taking shape and lookin' pretty darn good I then realized the class was over and what was I going to do with this 4 feet high 3 feet wide heavy "thing"? I created my masterpiece in the shape of my furry little Fluffy Puppy "Eddie" who would become later known as "Wily Coyote". I brought him home and pondered what to cover him with and that's when the SUN came out from the clouds and shined on my mom's 1939 Vernon ware dishes and china. I broke them up in all shapes and sizes, used her beach glass and agates she had collected over 70 years and in her loving memory, I painstakingly dove into my "Eddie" and at last, 240 hours later I had created a beautiful magical brilliant vibrant colorful funny personality piece of my version of Mosaic art, In Loving Memory of my mom and baby girl Murphy who both passed away in 2008 of cancer.

All of a sudden I was overwhelmed with the thought of what to do with my endless containers of thousands of pieces of colored tiles, china, glass, agates, rocks, gems, sparkly things, just to name a few. My neighbor's and dearest friends suggested I make stepping-stones and mosaic animals with my left over tiles and hence; Fluffy Puppies Mosaics were born.

I have given many Mosaics away, donated a few to charities until recently it became known to me that people actually wanted to buy my Mosaic Art. I find that while it takes 2 days to make a mosaic animal and 1 week to turn one-stepping stone around for completion it also has uplifted my spirits and helps me fight my depression of my loved ones who have passed. I think God had a huge part in all of this so I am now finding myself driving around to every garage sale I can, buy old vintage china, dishes and tile, bury myself in the garage at all hours of the day and night to create what I call "My little space of Heaven".

Our Mosaic Animals cost anywhere from $29.95 to $64.95 depending on size
