I started this mosiac at Brown Owls last month and grouted it at home. It still needs to be sealed but I don't have anything and haven't been to the shops looking yet. Possibly should get onto that so it can be all finished. I'm quite happy with the look of it. But I do wonder, if I get into mosaics more, will I look back and think it is a bit amatuerish? More than likely, but at the moment I don't really care and plus, I can't spot the amatuerish bits because I don't know enough. Sometimes I think it is better to not know and therefore not be all perfectionisty and sometimes I think I want to know more so it can be perfect. Right now I'm happy feeling the former. This is the size of an average floor tile and I think it is going to go in the middle of the outdoor table. A trivet of sorts.
As to the cross stitching? Well, you'll just have to wait a bit for that because I realised I only have partially finished photos of the two I've done. A task for tomorrow if it's not too overcast.
Have you been trying any new crafty stuff lately? I wish I could stick to one thing but instead I just want to try everything! Not to worry!

I did a planter for one of my plants and its on my porch near the front door. I look at it and it still makes me smile and I don't notice the amateur bits, I think your heart will always make you smile too :-)
LOVE your mosaic! I have been collecting old broken bits of china when we go out bush and fossicking, for this very craft. I have a tin of it in my shed and you have inspired me to get it out and have a dabble too! Do you collect old bits too, or sacrifice a plate you like? :-)
What a perfect heart, this is so pretty looks really finished off now its grouted. Great job girly.
Ive been a bit crafty doing some diy art and painting yet another stripe ... posts to follow soon :)
So good! Looks brilliant! xx
Oh, it's beautiful, I love the contrast between the blue and white. I think trying lots of things is an excellent idea!!
Your mosaic is splendid! I really like the colors you picked and the way you managed to get nice rounded curves! Me trying anything new? I was going to say no, but I guess I am trying my hand at making some clothes patterns for myself. Tricky stuff, but I'll get better at it with practice.
A perfect trivet! Love the blue and white china pieces amongst the mosaic bits x
The mosaic is great ...they are a great example of something broken made into something new and beautiful
It has worked out so well. Gorgeous.
