My name is Janet Lauer and I am a self taught mosaic artist and have been creating for about 6 years now. Mosaics are a real passion with me and I just love making beautiful things! I feel very blessed to have this God-given talent, which allows me to stay at home and do work that I love. I've always enjoyed creating, but I put it all on the back burner after getting married and having a family. Now that my children are grown and have families of their own I have the time needed for myself to do what I love.
My love is for the Shabby Chic, Victorian, Country and Romantic Cottage styles which explains my using lots of vintage china with roses and florals. I love adding whimsical embellishments on my projects such as vintage jewelry, buttons, china or handmade roses, seashells and whatever else catches my eye.
Why Grindstone Mountain Mosaics? That's the name of the mountain I live on here in the beautiful Ozark Mountains of Arkansas. There used to be a Grindstone Mill near hear so I thought that would be a perfect name. My studio looks out the back to my "million dollar mountain view" so it's very peaceful setting for me as I am creating.
Mosaics are such a unique and wonderful addition to any home whether is a large table, a birdhouse or a small garden turtle. I hope you enjoy my creations as much as I enjoy making them.
I am currently in a GREAT magazine called A Time for Primitives featuring everything from shabby to prim. CHECK IT OUT....www.atimeforprimitives.com or type in ATFP right here on Etsy
