This stunning and colorful over-sized mosaic mirror entitled, “Love Birds” features beautiful iridescent black stained glass that is so dynamic and changes color depending on the angle you view it from. At the top of the mirror is a sculptural heart covered with rich red wine mirrored stained glass and at the center is an antique key hole escutcheon framing the word “Love”. The body of the mirror is highlighted by vintage porcelain featuring a variety of beautiful birds surrounded by sparkling glass rhinestones and colorful gems. The mirror is accented by bright yellow/gold, spring green and teal mirrored stained glass and finished with black sanded tile grout.

The whole piece measures approximately 3.5 feet long X 2 feet wide. The heart has a depth of 3 inches and the rest of the mirror has a depth of approximately 1 inch. The mirror inside measures 12” X 21”.

This mosaic jeweled crown with blue jays looks great as a stand alone piece, or can be used to compliment an existing element, such as the silver mosaic angel wings. I’ve long been a fan of the crown motif and have often used it in my work over the years, but I’m really enjoying creating these elaborately embellished crowns with glass crystal jewels.

Materials Used: particle board, foam insulation, styrofoam balls, vintage blue jays china, amber mirrored glass, assorted glass crystal gems and rhinestones, glue, sanded tile grout

Measurements: approximately 15″L x 15″W x 3″H

This mosaic jeweled crown is part of a large scale commissioned piece I completed in 2018. I’ve used the crown motif many times in my work over the years, but this is the most elaborate embellishment it has ever received…and I must say, it was so fun! I will definitely be making more jeweled crowns in the future.

I’ve been making these sweet little mosaic birds since around 2005.  They have evolved over time and no longer have pipe cleaner feet…after all, when you’re flying it’s more aerodynamic to have your feet tucked against your body, right?  I’ve recently started making the wings out of brass, copper or aluminum that I stamp with a special phrase and some are also adorned with a metal crown.  Check out my new Etsy shop, Amy Lou Fancher Mosaics to see what birds are available.
