Ruby Slipper Glass Mosaic Planter

Design by Carol Champion
A grouted ruby and mirrored-glass planter. This mosaic planter is reminiscent of the ruby slipper in The Wizard of Oz and is made using a leather shoe as the mosaic base. The small glass diamond shapes used to cover the shoe are cut using the Beetle Bits cutting system and are applied with the use of weatherproof caulking. The glass is then grouted and can receive added sparkle by applying a glitter paint wash for planters that will remain under cover from the elements.
