Mosaics from The Ford

Be different. Go mosaic!

Standalone/freestanding/wall hanging pieces

‘Standalone’ or ‘freestanding’ mosaics can be placed where you think they look best.

And as these mosaics aren’t fixed, if you fancy a revamp of your home or garden but love your mosaic: no problem, just move it!

Please note: some standalone mosaics may be heavy due to the weight needed to keep them upright.

So browse and if you like something you see, please get in touch at mosaic.ford@virginmedia.com

‘Kokopelli by Moonlight’ (H = 25cm W = 30.5cm) ‘Kokopelli’ is a mythical figure often used to symbolise change and fertility, among others. The tree you can see before the rising full moon is devoid of leaves, but the presence of Kokopelli siginifies the approach of spring.
‘Missing You’: Art you can turn on its head!

‘Racing Green … And Red!’

Wandering along the streets of Stockholm, Sweden, with my wife and we came across a vintage Jaguar E-type. I took a photo, drew up the artwork, swapped the steering wheel to the UK side, and then set about making this piece using the reverse indirect method. When it was finished, I mounted the car on a wooden board painted red to make the green really stand out.
