Mosaic Artists - A Few of My Favorite Mosaic Artists

The world is full of fabulous mosaic artists, but here are a few of my favorites. They also happen to be some of the best around -- you'll love their stuff.

Laurel True
In addition to being a brilliant artist, Laurel True is the founder of the Institute of Mosaic Art, and owns the super-cool supply store called Mosaic Studio Supply. I love her work, but I'm also insanely jealous of how cute her store looks - so organized andhttp://beta.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gif neat. Check out her stuff, you'll love it.

Laurel Skye
Unbelievably enough, it's another Laurel who just happens to also be a fabulous mosaic artist. She also teaches classes, and you absolutely must see her 3D pieces, including clocks, violins, and boxes. Colorful and unique, her stuff totally rocks.

Laurie Mika
Apparently if your name starts with the letters "L A U," you have an excellent shot at becoming a great mosaic artist. Laurie's work is so unique and awesome, you have to see it to believe it. In addition to just kicking ass, I love that she uses her own polymer clay tiles. Back in the 90s, I worked with polymer clay before I began making mosaics, so this is something I experimented with back then ... she's taken it to a whole different level. Check out her stuff.

Ellen Blakeley
Using a technique she developed and perfected, Ellen Blakeley's shattered glass mosaics are phenomenally cool. She'll put anything flat under her webbed safety glass, for results you just couldn't imagine.
