Over the next few weeks I am wanting to showcase just a few of the designer makers I met at BCTF whose work I love. Many aspects of these maker's work have links in some way to my own work whether it be their use of vibrant colour or their links with nature. All I think you will love.

| Angela Ibbs mosaic owl |
The first artist I would like to introduce you to is Angela Ibbs She enjoys using a wide range of materials, hues, textures and assembly methods to develop beautiful mosaics that are contemporary art pieces. Angela gains inspiration from nature and human form through folk art and style movements.

| Fish wall art mosaics |
I have followed Angela on her
facebook page for a little while now and was thrilled to see she would be exhibiting at BCTF too. Not only is her work delightful it is inventive and whilst you are taking in the designs you realise that some of the fish have cup handles for fins!

| Some of Angela's wall art pieces |
The great geometric patterns that Angela uses in her work come largely from 70's crockery salvaged from charity shops and ebay. Individual leaves and circles are nibbled out of the china to create intricate textured designs. Her website has a
gallery showing the range of different designs she has worked on.

| Stunning mosaic pendants |
Angela translates the beautiful detail captured in her larger wall mosaics into her range of jewellery. Each is a unique piece incorporating the geometric designs and colour found in her work.
 |
| Circles! |
As anyone who knows me will know, circles are a bit of an obsession with me and I love the combination of vibrant colours, glass and circles in these pendants and bracelets and I hope to purchase one in the near future.
"For me mosaic, as a medium, is an exploration of choice and selection to create an effective and durable solution, through picking, cutting, laying and combining materials. The art form also reacts with its environment through the reflection of light giving an extra fascination." Angela Ibbs
