I've never written a blog before so this will be a first. lol But I thought I start out by first saying thank you to those that are reading this. I'm very happy that you've supported and helped me out by liking my work. I really really do appreciate everyone's help and love!
For those of you new to Mycentir Mosaics I'll go ahead and introduce myself. My name is Melissa Kathleen McIntyre. I'm a self-taught mixed media mosaic artist. That means that I love to use all sorts of different kinds of things in my work. I absolutely love stained glass and that would be my main type of media that I use. I love to treasure hunt at the local Goodwill and Salvation Army. I could spend all day hunting through junk as most people call it. lol I however see a use in an everyday object. I love to collect seashells, buttons, beads, gems, stones, copper tubing, marbles, etc. I could make the list go on and on but I won't. I love the idea of recycling. I'd much rather redesign something I know I can make myself than go out buy a brand new one and throw the old one away. For me creating mosaic art has helped me develop my skills better as an artist. I hope that by me sharing my skills and talents others can benefit from what I've learned or can enjoy my artwork.
I created Mycentir Mosaics because I've always wanted to open my own art store. I just never knew if it would be successful or not. I'm still in the beginning stages of business but I love to do it. It's def a learning process but I am loving it. I knew that if I didn't try now to open Mycentir Mosaics it probably would be something I regretted later.
I came up with the name Mycentir Mosaics because I love to do mosaics and that's what most of my work is. Mycentir pronounced My-/Cent-/tear is the letters of my last name rearranged so that McIntyre (my last name) sounds like My Center for mosaics. I liked the idea of it and bam idea born.
I just wanted to say hey and I'll be posting more later on. Thanks for reading! Have a great day! Melissa <3
