Recently Micky and I took the time to try out one of her mirror designs and we are very happy with how it turned out.
She cut and hand beveled a piece of 1/4″ mirror, a clipped corner rectangle approximately 16″ x 12″.
We removed the silver around the oval shape, added in the pattern, mounted it with adhesive and our own handmade clips to a wood backing board, and secured hanger hardware to the wood backer. We will definitely make more of these.
These beautiful flowers are cut and painted into this latest mirror designed and hand beveled by Micky – with each new piece we see more and more possibilities. She is experimenting right now with different shapes and sizes as well as playing with different design concepts and styles. Its safe to say we are leaning toward focusing mostly on achieving an antique look. This is going to turn out to be a perfect medium in which to translate her outstanding photography talent.

This is the latest mirror designed and hand beveled by Micky. The artwork is sandblasted into the back.
We would love to have some of these in our store … we would love to have anything in our store for that matter. Too much to do – too little time. Perhaps this year will be different. I certainly hope so.

This is a small mirror hand beveled by Micky. The artwork is sandblasted into the back. She also added a touch of color to the lettering.
The mirror is for a new retail shop opening mid-October in Portland called “mag-big” that will feature the work of local artists and designers. There will be clothing, jewelry, household items, and more. We are planning on contributing our work there as well.
