About Me
Excellent Handmade Crafts
Are you looking for finely designed mosaic gifts? Holmes Made By Lynne is a craft store you should certainly visit, as you're sure to find something that will catch your attention. I make bespoke items for your home and garden. If you are looking for something different I am always on the look out on my travels for different materials that I can work with to create new pieces. I first got my love of mosaics when visiting the Harrogate Turkish Baths and became inspired on my travels around the world. I have visited markets and crafts in very exotic places from New Guinea, The Marquesas, Tonga, Asia, Russia etc . The markets and casbahs around the world always give me inspiration for colour. I love the vibrant buzz. I’ve watched the finest crafts people working in various materials but I always return back to mosaics. I always used to ask how they got so good. One answer - practice - I love the never ending fascination creation of putting together the pieces that make up the enigma of mosaics. Drop by for a visit or get in touch online today.
Different Materials & Colours
I use many different materials for my work such as vintage bone china, sea pottery, a large variety of glass and ceramic mosaic tiles, charms, resin shapes, mirror, beads, shells, glass beads, ceramic charms, baubles, and more! I love to mix mediums and try new combinations to make unusual and interesting pieces. I love the way mosaics catch the light, so I use a lot of sparkling materials. I also use a range of different coloured grouts to finish the pieces and acrylic paints to finish the backs. For outdoor items everything is pre prepped . There is always something new to make and that is the fascination and enigma of mosaics.
