There’s something undeniably charming about a goose!
Maybe it’s the way they waddle through a garden with grandeur as if though they own the place. Or their combination of elegance and wild antics. For me, it’s the nostalgia they evoke, memories of country cottages, family farms, garden paths and wonderfully quirky homes.
That joyful spirit inspired my newest design: the Silly Goose Mosaic Frame.
The geese behind my home studio entertain me almost daily. They gather at the pond, wander through our gardens and taunt our little pug, George.
They’re graceful, silly and endlessly entertaining– the perfect inspiration for a whimsical mosaic!
A Mosaic Frame Designed for Creative PossibilitiesÂ
One of my favorite things about creating new mosaic frame designs is imagining all the possibilities.
The Silly Goose offers a generous canvas for creating with:
- Vintage china
- Stained glass
- Smalti
- Beads
- Rhinestones
- Mixed media
- Found objects
- Treasured keepsakes
I’m already dreaming of dimensional porcelain flowers, whimsical wildflowers, painted brass bows, tiny straw hats, polka dots, gingham, and gold-foiled beaks and feet.
If you’re going to be a Silly Goose, be a FANCY Silly Goose!
An Exclusive Tesserae Treasure Bundle Created Just for the Goose
To celebrate the launch, I’ve created an extra-special XL Silly Goose Tesserae Treasure Bundle, curated specifically to complement this design.
Built around three styles of vintage china, each bundle is filled with individually sourced treasures in a variety of shapes, textures, and finishes– including vintage rhinestones, charming findings, and specialty mosaic materials. I’ve thoughtfully selected each piece to create a cohesive, story-driven and color-matched palette.
With enough material to complete several frames, you can use the collection to bring one very fancy Silly Goose to life or create an entire coordinating flock!
My Tesserae Treasure Bundles are always created in limited quantities and this special Silly Goose collection is available for a limited time while supplies last.
Make Your Goose Your Own
Your Silly Goose might wander with sophistication out of an English cottage garden, covered in vintage china and delicate florals or a sparkling maximalist covered in stained glass, smalti, beads, rhinestones, and unexpected found objects.
And since a Silly Goose rarely waddles alone, I’ve also created a Little Gosling Mosaic Frame so you can create a pair or an entire flock, each with a personality of its own.
For me, mosaic art has always been about taking beautiful materials with a history– vintage china, treasured keepsakes and forgotten little objects and giving them a whole new story.
The Silly Goose is another opportunity to pour our love of creating into: bringing a familiar, nostalgic shape to life through color, pattern, texture, sparkle and your own unique vision.
I can’t wait to see what kind of mosaic mischief your flock gets into!
