It’s Monday and I really didn’t feel much like trolling through Instagram and Facebook. Maine’s Diane Manzi must have sensed my overload.
She emailed me photos of her reverse mosaic ornaments and switchplates which set off a series of alarm bells that chimed gaily, “We have a winner!” Her ornaments and switchplates have a woven, scrappy, graphic, contemporary look.
What in the world is “reverse mosaic” and will she share her magic? She claims to be a doodler. Tell us more!
Photos of the ornaments and switchplates show off her style much better than the little photos on her website. She’s an art educator. Lucky kids to have such a teacher. I’m jealous.
Bravo for Diane bravely sending her work to PCD. Now we want more, more from her. Here she is on Facebook. Let’s coax her out of her shell.

So perfect for the season. Like a warm sweater wraps each ornament.

I have been working in polymer for 30 years! This mosaic style has been my signature style for sometime. Customers fill their homes with covered plates in every room! The pandemic has had an effect on sales at art shows, all have been cancelled! I also make jewelry using screen printing and millefiori techniques. What an exciting medium!!!!!
