art deco coat rack : completed mosaic project
// September 16th, 2012 // Mosaic projects
This mosaic was made as a gift for my aunt’s 80th birthday, for which a surprise party was organised to bring her family and friends together from various parts of Australia.
The design concept came about when researching 1932, the year of her birth. When I discovered that it was part of the art deco era, I decided this would be a great starting point for a mosaic plaque. After cutting the rolled glass for the central emblem, I then discovered I had several dessert forks with a similar design and so incorporated them into the mosaic as coat hooks.

Nice mosaic. I went through the post I found it very informative and useful. Thanks for sharing.
I can not thank you adequately for the mosaic posts on your web site. I know you’d put a lot of time and effort into them and hope you know how much I appreciate it. I hope I’ll do exactly the same for someone else at some point.
Keep working, nice post! This was the information I had to know about mosaics.
