After almost 3 years of thinking about it, I've finally started working on mosaics. Here is my new work space in the basement:
(Sig never passes up a chance to be in a photo.)
Here is a picture frame:
And the coasters that are just about finished, as soon as I figure out why they're shedding sand. I was experimenting with different colors of grout: white, beige, and black:
A hot plate, pre-grout:
Also in progress are 2 clocks, a mail/envelope holder, and (still only in the idea stage) my first picture mosaic which will (hopefully) be a gift. Sometime this week I want to check out the tile store at the bottom of the hill by my house...I hope they have a discounted remnants bin or the tile equivalent. :)Last weekend or so my mom visited me in Peoria for the first time. Frank and I took her to the one museum in town--the Lakeview Museum. They have a little of everything there: an observatory, some art, and a children's section! We looked at the art, watched a movie on black holes, and then played in the pill wall. This is us in a wall of many many pins...

OMG Mosaics! It finally happened!
All joking aside, these look cool. Can I put in an order for a clock?!
I LOVE the mosiacs. I like the black grout myself. Makes me want to try it!
Thanks, guys.
e- I have you down for one clock!
i think there is a product that seals the grout. not sure why it's shedding sand...but for coasters it'd be better anyway to seal it. here's a website to get you started. http://www.onlinetips.org/grout-sealant
Thanks, Vanessa. I'm looking into this.
