Family Heirloom Mosaic Altar

My client had a very unique plan for her custom mosaic altar. She wanted a Tuscan feel to go with her Tuscan designed home and garden hence the grapevine, topiaries and architectural references. But what really made it super custom unlike any custom pieces I have ever made is special 3-d tiles and non 3-d, representing each family member as well as a painting inside the 3-d shrine of her view of Pusch Ridge in Catalina State Park.

For instance, the bell represents her granddaughter, the rose: her daughter, the garden: her SIL, the bow: another granddaughter, etc. There are several members to her immediate family we were able to fit in, including the cat! The colors picked up her beautiful garden colors as well.

As you know every tile and sculpted tile is handmade, glazed and kiln fired. This piece will last for many many years to come.

Challenging? Yes, but so worth it. I actually thought is was a very clever idea. Wouldn’t you love a family heirloom like this you could pass down through your family generations? Call me.
