My News

April 2015:

these days, I am doing very little mosaic and ceramic work, and am branching out into some new ventures. I still do mosaics and ceramics, but only when I am commissioned to do the work, and I am in the right mood.

welcome

Welcome to my blog. I hope it provides you with some inspiration to get creative yourself, or to support a local artist nearby.
For beginners: Instead of repeating myself and explaining the process with each mosaic project I show- I have done the "How to Mosaic" posts previously- please find them on this blog too, if you need more information.-
Start your own project today! (It is easy and fun, and if done properly will outlast you and your grandchildren.)
Please follow this blog for more original ideas and mosaic tips.

About Me

My photo
Marylou Newdigate

I love the natural environment, and as I live in the beautiful coastal town of Knysna, I am surrounded by the forests, ocean, beaches and a beautiful lagoon, so have constant inspiration provided to me. I am working as a ceramic artist- decorating tiles and making pottery and also recycling- doing mosaics.
