Meet the Maker
Hi everyone, I am Janet Dineen, a handmade maker of Mosaic Art, Custom House numbers and Lazy Susans. Custom orders are my specialty. Feel free to ask about anything that you have in mind. Many times, the best ideas come from people like you.
I currently live in Aransas Pass, Texas where I am very lucky to have a home studio where I can work in the lovely air conditioning. My husband Mike and I work together on many of the projects, he cuts the wood and I paint.
We have a little dog named Dolly and her job is to keep us entertained and chase squirrels.
I welcome people into my home studio to visit or purchase something that I might have available. I hope to make something special for you soon. Cheers!
How it’s Made
I paint a picture with acrylic or watercolors. I take the picture to my printer in Rockport Texas. They make small, magnet size copies of my artwork. I take them home, glue them to 1/4 inch wood and then cut each one out with my scroll saw. I then sand and paint the edges and coat with a marine varathane brush on coat. After that dries, I pour two part epoxy resin on each magnet. After that dries, I sand the edges again and attach the super strong magnets to the back.
I created this image as a tribute to my best friend that passed away. I'm the one with the beer and she's the one with the Margarita. We would leave home and camp out in Mexico in January. Yes, two crazy girls in a tent camping in the Yucatan. Those were the days. I'd give anything to do it with her again.
