Visit the Shop


Ever wondered how mosaicists work ?

Here is an amateur video of the shop. I made it myself and I am more talented at mosaics than I am at videos... There is room for improvement and I am hopeful to improve. I plan to add technical videos to this blog in 2014. 




Hope you enjoy the visit... 

Most of my mosaics are visible on my site Mosaicblues. If you are interested in one existing piece, in commissioning a specific mosaic, or simply in discussing the art of mosaics please contact me at frederic.lecut@gmail.com or by phone at (334) 798 1639. I would love to share my passion with you !

Green Eyes Video


Here is a short video presentation of Green Eyes, who departed from Headland to Dubai in December 2013. Please be indulgent with the quality, I made it myself and I am more talented with mosaics than with videos ! But I intend to improve !




Green Eyes is the first of a popular series of Eyes mosaics I started to work on in 2011. 

I have made and sold several other eyes mosaics since her.

Eva Green's Eyes  (Eva's Eyes) 



and 
Tuareg's Eyes 


are presently available for sale. 

I am presently working on Sean Connery's Eyes





and on another veiled woman's eyes





If you are interested in one of these mosaics, or in commissioning on piece, please contact me at frederic.lecut@gmail.com or by phone at (334) 798 1639. You can also drop me a line in the comments window below this post. I would love to share my passion for mosaics with you !

Sean's eyes


I finally laid the last tesserae of Sean's Eyes.


Sean's eyes is made following the reverse method. It is built upside down, then glued to a support, then flipped. The picture you see here is a mirror image of the finished product to be !



The reversed method is much more labor intensive than the direct method, but it allows a greater choice of materials of different thickness. Its results are also in my opinion much more beautiful ! 



Sean's Eyes is 14 x 50 inches (35 x 125 cm). It is made of stones, ceramics and glasses.

Sean's Eyes is part of my popular series of Eyes Mosaics.  Sean's eyes will be available next year. Eva's eyes and Tuareg's eyes are presently available for sale. 





If you are interested in one of these, or in commissioning a special piece for you, you can contact me at frederic.lecut@gmail.com or by phone at (334) 798 1639.

You can also contact me for any other reason related to my work. I'd love to share my dreams with you !

Visit the Mosaicblues Workshop

Visit the Mosaicblues Workshop in Headland, AL.

I built the building about 8 years ago (Outside RED paint courtesy of my good friend Travis Page - a story I might tell you one day... ) when i got tired to work on my deck in the winter...

Even in Alabama, the wind can get cold !


A creative place only can be messy - in my opinion - And this one is. Treasures of Tools, Stones and various Materials picked up everywhere around the world accumulates.

But this is my shop, it is the only one I have, and so it is the best shop in the world !
