“All of my Mosaics are hand made by myself in my home studio in Two Rivers, Alaska. Each mosaic is made with beautiful pieces of stained glass. I hand cut/ chop each piece then place them all by hand on a thin wood backing. They are then set with a dark chocolate or Charcoaled colored grout. Each piece has a hanger placed on the back so they can be used as a piece of wall art. 4” magnets also have a hook on the back to hang on the wall or attach ribbon for an ornament!” – LolaBug Creations
