I finally finished this masterpiece with the help of my husband (he attached the hardware on the wood). This was a nice plain wood tray, I created the mosaic inlay but then I thought if people will place stuff on it thew will not be able to enjoy the design. So I altered it to be a wall key hanger. I think it turned out amazing! I can ship it guys, if someone wants it, $290 plus $15 shipping (US only). (I see regular mosaic trays on Etsy for #500. Well I want to be able sell it fast in order to make more 😂) Otherwise it will be available at the Shopapalooza festival in St Pete this weekend. Just send me a message if you want me to ship it to you! #shopapalooza #stpetefl #ceramicartist #november2022 #fall #fall22 #thanksgivingweekend #thanksgiving22 #happythanksgiving (at Shopapalooza Festival) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClTcEwpOa8j/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The detail is in the missing arm and missing face. Are you getting dressed up for Halloween this year? Tonight, tomorrow, or Monday? I'm all focused on a fun time tomorrow with a dark art pop-up show in our Historic Kenwood neighborhood tent on the massive 22-block Halloween block party on Central Avenue in St. Pete... and then the roaming and after party with friends. Pop-up show will be in front of VFW at 26th Street. This photo will be one of several larger prints I'll have on display tomorrow. It's one of my favorites from my old stomping ground Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn. I wonder if St. Pete has cemeteries worth exploring... #greenwoodcemetery #angel #cemeteryshots #brooklyn #homesick #historickenwood #aehkstpete #halloween #happyhalloween #halloweenoncentral #stpetefl (at Green-Wood Cemetery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkUCyDBP9wi/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
