Hi, I’m Merrin.

I design and hand-make whimsical mosaic pieces and kits inspired by storytelling, animals, and everyday moments — all with the goal of bringing the Shimmer & Whimsy House to life.

Most people arrive here because they:

  • Want to try mosaics but don’t know where to start
  • Love handmade art with heart and story, and want to be part of our growing community
  • Want something creative that feels joyful, not overwhelming

If that’s you, you’re in the right place — and I can’t wait to share the magic of Shimmer & Whimsy House with you.

Want to make something beautiful?

My beginner mosaic kits are designed for people who love crafting but don’t want complicated tools, confusing instructions, or unfinished projects.

They’re calm, achievable, and deeply satisfying to complete.
