Rainbow Mirror | Mosaic | Circle | authentic Handmade in USA | Customizable | Childrens | Wreath | Braid | Home Decor | Accent Mirror | Multi-color

Thank you for checking out my made-to-order RAINBOW MIRROR, part of a series of 'mosaic' wall mirrors available in the summer of 2022. Handmade in Austin, TX, every aspect of the production is executed by me directly and in partnership with a local workshop...from creative concepting to sourcing materials to cutting, painting, and assembling the finished pieces to packaging and shipping.

In this series, I surrounded a 10" round mirror with 6 evenly spaced 10" circles offset by 3" (this makes for a total diameter of 16"). This approach enables a variety of designs, all depending on whether the arcs are combined or separated. This RAINBOW design is the simplest, with 6 distinct pieces fitting together like a puzzle. You might look at it as pure geometry...or perhaps you see a braid...or even a pretzel. To each his own!

The RAINBOW design colors are the familiar red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet that we all know and love. (Sorry, indigo, you didn't quite fit into this scheme.) Feel free to contact me about other color combinations - I think alternating gold and silver, for example, would make a sophisticated design.

I included 4 other designs in the photo montage for this listing to showcase the possibilities that this core approach enables. If you look carefully, you will see that the FREEDOM, MID-CENTURY, and CHRISTMAS mirrors are the most complicated, with 18 pieces each. The BLOSSOM mirror falls in between with 12 pieces. (Prices increase as the piece count goes up given the additional work required.) You can order any of these 5 designs right here on this listing, or you can visit the specific listing for authentic each one if you want to learn more about the different concepts.

My inspiration in creating these mirrors drew from my lifelong love of visual arts that showcase simple shapes, geometry, pattern, and balance...qualities that I expressed in my architecture and fine arts studies at Yale but then put aside in order to pursue a corporate marketing career. Now that I am retired, I have returned to my creative roots...making things that make me smile, have practical application, and are outside the norm of decorative arts.

I approached this concept with respect for current interior design trends, where bold colors, simplicity of design, and an expression of fun continue to be desirable. Perhaps most important is that the use of curves in furniture and decor is a key design principle of 2022. My 'mosaic' mirror line fits right it!

The core materials are MDF (medium-density fiberboard, a wood product), acrylic paint, and a beveled glass mirror that is 10" in diameter. It attaches to the wall with a sawtooth hanger.

I encourage you to look at my other mirror designs available in my Etsy store and to visit again to see new products as they launch.
