LyricUpdates from Sequential Glass Art Mosiac & Rosemaling
December 4, 2024
There's something so homey and cozy about Rosemaling that it just innately has Christmas vibes. Waking up to snow the other morning made it mandatory that I make some hot cocoa, put on warm socks and paint a million rosemales and then run around in the snow in just my socks because I had such a sugar rush from the cocoa and now I have a cold. Christmas is cancelled.

I'm so thankful for all my wonderful customers that have continually surprised and amazed me with special requests through out the years! From family portraits to the special pets and meaningful symbols I've had so much fun being a part of people's lives for a short time and made them something that hopefully lasts years and years. This piece is the closest to a Turkey I've made, thanks Mr. T! Glad you're not on the table this year!

These rosemaling pieces were born out of me moving back to my roots to a predominantly Norwegian community in SE MN. The history and community has inspired me to gather wood pieces from construction projects of vintage houses and local woodworker friends and to Rosemale them! I hope these small pieces make the perfect addition to your decor with history, memories and fun!

Years ago my husband and I bought a dilapidated wooden Quonset hut to turn it into our fishing shack get away (which is now our forever get away!) When we were reroofing it the beautiful tortured pine boards came up with the tar and shingles and we were forced to save them. We ended up with a bunch of scrip scraps we couldn't bare to part with. I decided I needed to learn Rosemaling and used them as my practice palettes. Luckily we had one billion of them so I've got a bunch extra to sell! (I've branched out to different wood species too) Coming Soon!

Adding a little bee, beetle or dragonfly turns a mosaic of flowers into a story. Throw in a hummingbird or goldfinch and its a novel. Conflict is nature and without it it's just a pretty picture, which is okay too. Sometimes pretty is just enough.

When we moved to the country I didn't expect to become so interested and immersed in woodworking until my husband tore down a corn crib and our backyard was suddenly full of 100 year oak and pine that needed new life! I've been finding that the oak really likes to be frames for mosaics so I've been developing a new way to frame them that makes them look good from both sides and is suitable to hang in windows or sit on window sills!

One of the many things I love about stained glass mosaic is trying to replicate the bonkerness of nature with the limitations of glass. With painting and drawing you can just paint or draw it. With stained glass you're constrained by the glass and trying to coax it to break the right way or get small enough to make a branch or leaf or sky is exhilarating when it works and maddening when it flies across the room after breaking the not right way. It's a never ending quest for sure.

I'm excited that Fall is here and I'm ready to get back in the studio after a busy summer art fair season! I've gathered lots of new ideas and inspirations for small window sitter wood framed mosaics and suncatchers. Stay tuned for new products all winter!
