Three pieces for three ordinary corners of my home. The room comes first; the pattern follows.
Ceramic fragments · pale grout · green and terracotta
The windowsill was too narrow for another plant, but it had room for a small upright panel. I drew a curve that leans gently towards the glass, then packed the surrounding space with quieter green pieces. One unusually long fragment sets the direction for the rest. I moved it at least a dozen times before accepting that it belonged exactly where I had first put it. The panel now catches the afternoon light beside the chives.
Small square tiles · muted green border · an open centre
I wanted a tray that could live on the sideboard without looking as though it needed an occasion. The mosaic stays around the edge, leaving a plain middle for cups and a small jug. I began with strict rows, then allowed a few uneven cuts near the corners. Those slight changes make the border feel less like graph paper. The tray is heavier than I expected, so it has become a resting place rather than something carried around the house.
Terracotta offcuts · broken cream tile · a dark green interval
This little wall piece began as a way to use the fragments too awkward for the other projects. I sorted them by the direction of their edges instead of their colour. A narrow green piece interrupts the warm shapes, like the pause between two lines of a letter. It hangs just inside the back door, above the basket of garden gloves. I see it most often while looking for the secateurs, which feels like the right sort of audience.
