When the mood hits, I can hit - literally. SMASH.

I've been known to show no mercy on any pattern, even Limoges is not safe.
It's the kind of mosaics where you take a pretty plate, chipped or not, and smash it. I don't do intricate patterns I just randomly glue the pieces on, along with bits of mirror and stained glass pieces and then grout it.
I think what I like about mosaics is that I don't really have to think or concentrate. I learned to glue when I was 5, and it's like riding a bike. I'm not really fond of puzzles but as a project nears the end it's a lot like a puzzle trying to find and fit pieces.

I find doing mosaics relaxing, but once I start I like to finish it. Secretly I think really what I like is collecting pretty plates, and I just hoard them under the ruse of mosaics!
Soon the temps will be warm enough to sit outside and smash my little heart out.

Love the cake stands! I can't believe your first mosaic was a headboard. You were quite brave to take on such a large project. Looking forward to seeing pictures. Hugs, Sherry

ReplyDeleteWow, I really love all of these. I need a new number sign for our house, yours look so good, I may have to pinch the idea. I did make an obelisk in mosaic once, and you're right, it's really good fun - I'm going to look for some stuff to smash up !

I have always wanted to do this...I have saved smashed china cups...and plates....and there they sit....I think you will be my inspiration. I love the address signs (well everything is fabulous....but the address signs are my favorite)!
