Artist Keila Strong proves you can make art out of everything, just take a look at her barrette mosaics.
Typically, mosaics are made of colorful broken pieces of tile, stone or glass — but not usually barrettes.“It started with wooden beads, then I decided to add more color and decided on hair barrettes,” said artist Keila Strong. “And the rest is history,”“Barrettes speak to childhood joys; I hear them,” Strong said. “Edge control, rollers. Every accessory used holds a memory, and it’s comforting. I don’t think I appreciated it as much before.
From cocoa butter to bamboo earrings and every bobby pin in between, Strong said these pieces not only reflect her growth as a woman but also the sacrifices it took to get her there. From a sketch to a completed mosaic, each piece takes around two weeks to complete. Strong said her future focus remains rooted in her passion for the craft, while also hopefully inspiring her son’s generation.
