1The brief

Jackson & Perry wanted a welcome mat that would last outdoors on Washington Street. The shape had to follow the doorway and the bay window exactly, with the shop name and small seaside icons that feel like a summer in Cape May.

2The design

Jackson & Perry sent us their own design with the exact measurements of the entrance. We turned it into mosaic: the name in gold metal across the middle, and around it hand-cut glass icons outlined in gold: a crab, shell, oyster, fish, sailboat, life ring, beach umbrella, lighthouse and a CAPE MAY sign. A white circle pattern fills the background, framed by a single metal border.

3The result

Before shipping, the whole mosaic was laid out in our workshop and checked piece by piece. It arrived on numbered sheets and now greets every shopper at the door.
