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 🙂

@Bow Aye would be incredibly difficult to have to sit with all the ups and downs. Might be that the pain is less in the morning after a restful sleep, but gets worse across the day, so he gets his grumpy pants on by the time evening rolls around.

Ohhhh yum! I'm gonna slip into a sugar coma again just thinking about it hehehe

Oh wow that sounds awesome!! Princess AND lego? She might just explode from excitement hahaha

What's a Lego passport? Does it have a photo of Lego Bow in it? 😝

Hey @Jynx

Aye I get it @Bow yeah no need to go for a walk down Rumination Lane. Really wish they didn't have such fantastic property prices here that keeps us coming back eh?

We can chat about other stuff! If you have any topics or thoughts you'd wanna share I'm always keen. Else I got us some tropical topicals! No idea what makes the topics tropical but my brain threw it out there, and it rhymed so I'm keeping it 🤣

Wanna talk about your art stuff? Or we could always strike up a hypotheticals chat, y'know 'what would you use this super power for' kinda thing?

Re: My Mosaic

Yep rumination lane, lotsa pretty houses there that I get stuck on @Jynx ya know I know it’s not at all helpful to keep talking about it… to keep repeating the same stuff… but it’s what happens. Sometimes it’s just helpful to get it outta my head, even though I’ve already got it out of my head time and time again.

I’ve got some new art pieces in the works. I write down the pieces as I sell them at markets so I know what ones to remake. But then I add new ones too. Want to do a couple of Christmas ones too.
We got invited to attend a twilight Christmas market in November. I want to get extra stock made for that and just the *hopeful* increase in sales in the lead up to Christmas.
Im also waiting for a paint by numbers order to arrive. Guy from church wants me to paint a picture of his wife for her birthday.

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow yeah I think that's how I define for myself the difference between venting and ruminating - am I repeating myself? Do I feel better after? If it's yes then no, it's rumination.

If it's no then yes it's venting.

If it's yes then yes, it's still venting.

If it's yes then no, it's rumination.

If it's no then no, then it's.... umm not an issue cos no repeating. Lol and yes I just made all of this up.

Anyway.... 😅

Ooooh that's exciting, you got invited to a special twilight market? Amazing!! Ach... best xmas market I ever went to had to be Germany. The proper mulled cider was insane!! Would you get to enjoy a stroll round the market too or are you generally chained to the stall?

Wait so for this guy at church, you ordered a paint by numbers portrait? Is that a thing you can do? You blowing my mind Bow!!

Re: My Mosaic

Oh you got me all confused there @Jynx !!!

I love a good market! But they really gotta be well promoted. The country market we do once a month has been going for so many years, it’s usually always packed. People come in by the bus loads for far away- that’s how good it is. And yes, I get to have a wander. And then mum goes for a wander too. We have to get some lights for the Christmas market, never done a twilight one before. So been looking at pretty lights online.

and yes! You can upload a photo and they turn it into a paint by numbers. I did heaps a couple of years ago. Framed them… and got them hanging around the house. They turn out pretty good! Wish I could show ya, but they all have my daughter in them!

Re: My Mosaic

hey @Bow !! how are you going? just read about how you turned pictures into paint by numbers - that's so cool, did you just do it online? like upload the pic to a website or something and they mail you the canvas to paint on?

Re: My Mosaic

Hey @rav3n shitty day, heads not in a good place, but nothing new.

yep…. It’s all done online. Upload a photo and they ship it to you. I use Australian paint by numbers. It irritates me that they advertise to be an aus company but they ship from China. But apart from that they are good. I’ve done about 10, and got 2 in the post. I always get the highest paint numbers, I think it’s 48 colours. It’s just better quality.
