Started to mosaic!

1. Nipped tiles around eyes

2. Used "marbles" for flower

3. Wormie worked up in millefiore

 

A block of styrofoam packaging came in the mail the other day with something I ordered...  Rather than tossing it, I decided to sculpt a birdie for the yard.  Having never tackled such a thing, I approached it in a rather staight forward manner...  kind of boring... :(
So I added a wormie :)...
1. Sculpted Styrofoam
2. Styrofoam covered with Plaster Canvas
3. Wormie (added for interest)!
Next comes a layer of ThinSet and then... MOSAICS!!!

Hmmm... I'm thinking it's time to update my blog...  Haven't done that in so long... it's about time, eh?!

Before I do, I thought I would post "Where's The Prince?", a present that I made for one of my dear, sweet sister!  If I can find some of my WIP photos, I'll post them too!

Here's the shoe, a tape dispenser, finished!

 

 

Gazing Ball

My first Gazing Ball is now complete!  I grouted it last night...

The really cool thing is that it floats!

Loving Mosaics!

Last year I discovered mosaics while enjoying a wonderful workshop in Italy.  That was an amazing (and fun) discovery!

Now I'm addicted...

Here are two W.I.P pics of a gazing ball for my garden.
