So, you are wondering what I’ve been doing all this days?

Well, is not that I stopped making mosaics at all! I received new pieces of wood for magnets (a little smaller than what I’ve been using) so I’ve been making those, but also developing a new line of mosaics, really-really cool, but it takes a little of experimentation (just a little) so I’ve been taking my time. And the little magnets I’ve made are still ungrouted, because I want to do that in batches and save time.

Also, I’ve been with other things: new website (YES!) that my lovely brother-in-law is designing for me. This also implies to decide what name does my site is going to have, REALLY hard. I’m slow taking decisions, imagine this one. The possibilities were creasolmosaics, creasoldesigns, and somebody suggested soldesign… I think I’ll stick with the second one. Soldesigns is nice, but I think would be a little messy to change the brand just now.

This takes me to the other new project I’m in these days: Create:Fixate. I’ll be there and I’m soooo excited! It looks totally cool, I feel honored to be mixed with great artists and selling my mosaics! I hope I have good sales and meet nice people that day. Well, you can see I appear there as Creasol Mosaics, so I guess the time where I could change my name without making any harm to the business just passed.

Well, that’s why I’m so frantic making new stuff, working on the site, making new cool business cards, etc.
I’ll keep you updated on all these!

LOVE.

Hi all!
So, I’m making this new mirror. At first, it was going to be black (just were the black is now) and the petals and the rest was supposed to be red, orange, yellow… “on fire” (after my 45 minutes of fame in the homepage of Etsy with my “coasters on fire” yeyh!!!!). But, when I was taking out of the box the redish colors, a pink color that I’d never used came out, and just couldn’t resist the mix with the blac, the mirrors, well, I found it so chic!!! Don’t you think? But I had to look for other colors to combine. That wasn’t easy, pink is not an easy color and specially for someone who doesn’t like pink that much (that’s me). Ok, so I got to this two related colors, peach and apricot. I really love how they go together with the pink! Well, I knew I was going to use another extra color, but I thought I would decide later.

So, here I am, trying to decide not only about the last color, but how to finish the mosaic. These are the possibilities (conterwise):

1. Use light gray, “framing” the flowerish design. I like the demarcation of the petals in this.

2. The same, but with a darker gray.

3. Totally different. Keep filling the space with petals. The small rest on the edges will only have grout. I like the fact of not using small pieces on the edges, and that I’ll be able to use the pink again on the edges (did I mention I only have 9 tiles left of that color?). But I doesn’t brings out the petal design.

4. Same as 1 and 2, but in purple. I really like this combination, but the original idea was to make something chic, not something too colorish. On the other hand, I don’t like the idea of being too conservative in my mosaics. I don;t think that “adds” to my style.

What do you think????

This is my stuff on my Etsy SHOP!!!
