Something’s not right

My Mosaic

My Mosaic

My Mosaic

I like mosaic art, I’ve never actually done any, but it intrigued me. Made up of hundreds of tiny pieces of stone, glass and ceramic. If you look at it close up it doesn’t really look like anything special, if anything it looks like a mess. But if you take a step back and view the whole picture- it’s a master piece. I guess it’s kind of like life. So many tiny parts, some messy if we look just at the one part. Some day i guess I’d hope that the mess of my life will at some point look half decent.

So here is part of my mosaic, bits and pieces kept tidy together 🙂

tagging you @Emelia8 cause you asked 🙂

Re: My Mosaic

Oh my gosh @Bow!! They're so pretty!! And those are real stones/gems? Amazingly creative!! I continue to maintain that your work would absolutely kill at a local art market!

I'm glad that pouring such love and passion into your art is proving to be therapeutic for you. Sometimes, just keeping our hands busy is the best way to cope. And the gifts that result from it are so nice, it is just a wonderful thing that you're able to put so much beauty into the world, even if it feels so dark and painful inside.

I hope that you're able to get some decent rest tonight hun, having disrupted sleep is the worst.

Hey @Bow

I'm sorry you're struggling so much at the moment, but I've been thinking of you.

I really love the art you've done today. How did you do them?

I also saw some from earlier this week or last, I think, and they were so good. I don't know how you do it.

Re: My Mosaic

Thanks @Jynx … I’m really loving them and I’ve really enjoyed making them. Our kitchen table has been such a mess all day! But it’s right in front of the AC and it was 40c today.
The one with the 2 cats- my fluffy boys, I’m gonna keep for myself.
The gems and stones. I got a heap of mosaic tiles and rocks and stuff from Temu, some from bunnings and just a bag of rocks from a cheap shop. Need to find a local beach or creek with some rocks!

My support worker also said I should take them to market 🙂

Thanks @Snowie @Birdofparadise8

@Birdofparadise8 its all just mosaic tiles and pebbles and some wooden sticks. Then I paint and draw the details on.

I may have a whole heap of super glue on my fingers!

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow hehe heck yes, making a big mess to do creative stuff is one of life's great joys! Hope it's not too gnarly to have to pack up though hahaha.

Aww yay, I love the kitty one! You can display it with pride, for sure!

Oooh yesss I love a good creek/beach explore! I grew up near the beach and my family have a tradition of giving each other heart rocks - so whenever I go for a beach walk my eyes are always glued to the sand, searching for good heart-shaped rocks!

Re: My Mosaic

Ah okay @Bow

You're very talented.

I loved the cats. They are so cute.

Re: My Mosaic

The kitchen table has kinda been a mess the whole time mum has been away @Jynx it’s been nice to set up…. Work… go do something else and not have to pack up. Everything is just ready to go when I’m ready. D even joins me sometimes. I have a desk in my room, but it’s not very big.

Aww I always look out for heart rocks too. My $2 bag of rocks I got from the cheap shop yesterday actually had a small one in there! I’ve kept it aside for something special.
