'Mosaic Gallery.'

This is my entry for this week's Market Friday challenge organized by my friend @dswigle

My visit to this marvelous Mosaic Gallery was one of many interesting aspects at the Traditional Trade fair which was held at Old Petrie Town in Queensland last week. If you'd like to see more of this very interesting market Click Here:

I'm sure you will agree with me after viewing these fabulous mosaic works of art below, that they have been created by an extremely talented group of artists.

This is a delightful scene where 'Three Girls' are intent on enjoying ice cream cones under their colourful sunhats.

The very old but quaint cottage which held the mosaic works of art looked intriguing from the outside. But on the inside.......that was an entirely different experience.

Their slogan, "By Hand with Head and Heart" was very appropriate. Come and join me to see what I am talking about.

Isn't this piece fantastic? I love the flow and artistic flare in this image and the colours compliment each other beautifully.

'Exquisite' is the word that comes to mind when I take in the beauty of this fine mosaic mural.

The likeness to the much loved and attractive actress, Audrey Hepburn is unmistakable in this picture. I am amazed that this was achieved by using chunky glass mosaics as I'm sure it would be difficult enough drawing or painting her image on canvas without having to arrange the mosaics to represent Audrey Hepburn so well.

The owl and the pussycat. Just magic!

And look at this adorable feline with his colourful whiskers. He'd make a remarkable feature in any home wouldn't he?

Is this 'Alice in Wonderland?'

I loved this tree scape but my photo didn't do it justice because the two mirrors reflected the wooden floor instead of something more picturesque but I wasn't about to shift it for my conveniences as much as I wanted to. (lol)

THANK YOU FOR VIEWING. HAVE A GREAT DAY.

Of course when I first saw your thumbnail my eyes very intrigued buy it because it was obvious that it was a mosaic. I've never seen the Mosaic that I did not admire in some way because it takes absolute Talent to be able to do anything with it. The little gallery is adorable and yes I can see the draw of wanting to go in and look around. Their slogan by hand with head and heart does seem very appropriate.

I do love the flow and the artistic Flair in the image with the horse. Absolutely alive and beautiful. The plain framing on this really does it justice and lets you focus on the beauty instead of the frame. While you Mets call the Mosaic mural exquisite, I don't have words for it because it is absolutely one of the most fabulous pieces I have ever seen. I can say wow! 20 times over and it does not cover the beauty of it from the frame to each and every piece set in it is quite simply, amazing. I love it!

The Audrey Hepburn look-alike is another one that is unbelievably stunning and I can't even take a picture that well and to think that they put that together with glass? Unbelievable. I'm in love with the cat and would take him home in a New York minute! You have undoubtably I'm done yourself once again and I must thank you profusely for always putting together an amazing post for Market Friday. Thank you so much for that and thank you for dropping the link on my post.

#MarketFriday loves you!! 💖
