Coffee Kitsch




So, here's more in my "Kitchen Kitsch" series....
"Coffee Kitsch"
A mosaic-ed vintage Sunbeam Electric coffee perculator.
When I start a project, I have a "vision".

But I'm always thrilled when it's all finished and
my "vision" turns out to be so cool.
It's kind of quirky art deco...?
just what I had in mind
+ lots of shiny bling!

Still needs to be sealed and "Dremel-ed".

It sh
ould be ready to bring to Penrod Arts Fair this Saturday, September 11. I'll be in the Red Section.
See you there !

Love the Kitsch !


Check out this great new find at a thrift shop!
A 70's era electric cofee perculator.
Sure haven't seen anyone use one of these in along time.
Why not recycle it into more "Kitchen Kitsch"?
I'm thinking of doing it up in red, white and black. Gotta have some splashes of mirror...
You know me, I love the bling.

I did a vintage toaster in black and red..
should be a nice companion piece.

You can see it on my website,
http://www.mosaicsgarden.com/ See "Gallery" and "More".
I'm starting on it tonight, so I'll keep you posted on its progress.

Hope to have it finished for Penrod Arts Fair this Saturday, September 11.
