Very Talented Mosaic Artist

WOW!!! My booth was next to Brenda Nicklas of Laughing Dog Mosaics www.laughingdogmosaics.com last weekend at the Rendezvous.
Brenda is an extremely talented mosaic artist who started out as a painter.

You can see the influence painting has had on her glass work in

the movement of her mosaics. She gives life to her work with shards

of glass and grout to create one of a kind pieces that stun and delight.
She also includes the picassiette style of mosaic art in her work.

Here are a few links for this type of art

Valerie Carmet writes: 1900-1964 French graveyard worker

Raymond Isidor left behind him a masterpiece and started a new

form of Artistic expression. Baptized by a journalist Pique-assiette,

French for "scavenger" later spelled Picassiette, Isidor decorated

his entire house by covering all of the walls with broken plates,

glass shards and much more.
