A Wyoming Cowgirl at heart, Joni’s mosaic sculptures are inspired by Western tradition and her love of boots, hats, saddles, horses and all things Cowboy.
For over 20 years, Joni Carr has been creating one-of-a-kind pieces of jewelry, home décor and sculpture. She describes some of her favorite works as “funk-tional labors of love.”

The Western Mosaic sculptures are made using a variety of materials that include glass, mirror, glass beads, sterling silver, semi-precious gemstones such as turquoise and "used treasures." All pieces are named and signed. The boots, hats and saddles are previously owned and are sculpted with the wrinkles and wear marks left in. Joni says, "This work combines my favorite thing; shopping, glass sculpture and the heritage of the American West." |
