A Decorated Circle Mosaic

A Decorated Circle Mosaic

I had such fun working on these bisqued ceramic circles, each about 10 cm in diameter. After glazing them beautifully at the Knysna Pottery House, I couldn’t resist taking the project a step further — and, as usual, went off on a bit of a creative tangent!

I decided to create an intricate glass mosaic background, which ended up taking ages but was completely worth it. The detailed pattern adds wonderful texture and depth around the glazed circles.

The base is made from fibre cement board, sealed and waterproofed, making it sturdy enough for outdoor display in warmer climates. (I’m not entirely sure how well it would handle icy weather — so perhaps best to keep it sheltered if you live somewhere frosty!)





















The next project will feature a simpler design, making it more budget-friendly. Clearly, I really enjoy a my creative time!
