For this hot plate trivet I used green, pink and yellow for the wings and larger white plate pieces for the body. Trivets make great gifts for any season and event. Some of my clients buy several and keep them on hand for last minute gifts for any event. The grout has been sealed so it is water resistant. Cost: $20.00 + tax, S&H

I used a section of a plate that displays a partial white leaf surrounded by dark purple and a lighter pink-purple as the centerpiece for this mosaic. This is surrounded by other plate pieces and vitreous tiles. It is one-of-a-kind art piece. This garden stone measures 12"x12". The grout has been sealed so it is water resistant. Cost: $45.00 + tax, S&H

Come on all you cat lovers. Don't let this one get away. His smile, white patch and color palette are begging you for ownership. This hot plate trivet measures 6"x6". It's both practical and decorative. The grout has been sealed so it is water resistant. Cost: $20.00 + tax, S&H
