Fantastic site guys!! Got my cards and coasters and they are top notch quality. I will start saving for an original mosaic, I just hope the one I want does not sell before then.

Well it be Pirate Day so here goes.....
Avast to all ye kindly folk. Cap'n Cheeky and his wench are chuffed that ye all like our glassys so much. We be special happy that lubbers like our old friend Swampy Fire is happy with his stash of Velvety booty in the gleaming form o' some shiny cards and coasters. And to folks on the "wrong" side of the world.....we have a big pirate vessel just itching for a voyage (Well actually we don't, but I wanted to cheer ye up).
WooHoo to ye missy woohoo. And to ye Madame Queen Kamehameha. It shivers me timbers to know ye all enjoy our glassys.
And in a non-piratical voice.....
We just realised there was a bad link on our Gallery page so if anyone had trouble trying to check out our "For Sale' stuff, it should all work properly now.
The young feller who built that websitethingy should be flogged and keelhauled!
Ahoy and Mahalo

Your prints, cards, coasters and original artwork is incredible!!! Too bad not everyone can see it in person!!! You would have more orders than you'd know what to do with! I gave a coaster set as a birthday gift and was told it was the best gift they'd recieved! The cards are sooooo cool I don't want to give them away!!!! So, I guess I'll have to buy some more!
If anyone hasn't checked out Mark and Maggie's work....Do it now!

Thanks for the kindly words Soccer. Glad you and your Birthday pal liked the coasters.
In a week or so we'll have some new original work to show. Stay tuned.....

We've been trying our hand at making smaller more portable mosaics and this is what we've come up with.... belt buckles.
We've got a lot more buckles (not all tiki) on our website here http://www.velvetglass.com/tikipages/Mosaics2/beltbuckles.html
and here's a peek at a new, not so wearable mosaic.
cheers!
Mr and Mrs cheeky half

Hewey,
It seems Fire, Women and Tikis feature a fair bit in our work. Just when I vow to make one with none of those ingredients they keep pulling me back in.
Kinda like Pacino in The Godfather 3.

Two Cheeky Half's make up a whole cheek, but that doesn't necessarily make us half-assed.....
Clarita, Your candles are fantastic! Sorry we hadn't seen them before.
