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 🙂

My flip calendar was a 4 week task for me @Jynx ! And I loved every bit of it. I started it when others were finishing something else. I found a scrapbook paper blank calendar sheet. So had to write all the numbers in the small boxes. But then just added all the pretties to it.

Everyone else started one last week cause they liked what I was doing! They just printed a yearly calendar off from online.
They are continuing next week again, so I may start another one!

hmmm I can’t think who else is in that build. It was a fun build though

Re: My Mosaic

I crawled into bed as soon as we got home from market. Exhausted. But another good day at the country market. It hasn’t stopped raining since we got home.
D and I are out for dinner at my best friends house. She has her granddaughter over, so d will be happy. I don’t really wanna go, I’m all peopled out. But I said yes. So pushing myself.
Below is the piece that I have been working on for weeks. Approx 201 pebbles. All individually painted numerous times. Carefully placed and tediously glued down. @Jynx @tyme @rav3n @Snowie

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow oh WOW it looks incredible!! You have such a good eye for colour!! Is that one for the market or will you hang it up in your home?

Ach, the old 'oh no I over committed to social occasions' vibe, can be a time! Hope you got a nice chill evening ahead?

Re: My Mosaic

Thanks @Jynx i do like this piece, but I really got nowhere to put it! So I will sell it.

Yep, overcommitted on a busy day! But it was a nice chilled time. Lots of things to talk about and the girls played loudly in the background!

how are you? Can I pull up a cushion beside ya for a bit?

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow aww true haha must be the artist's curse!! My mum is similar, she's got tubs and tubs of all her old silk painting stuff, and a bajillion water colour paintings hung up across the walls of her studio!! Well I reckon it'll be off to a good home to bring joy to someone each day, how lovely!!

Aww bless, that sounds lovely! Restful evening tonight I hope? Yeah pull up a cushion!! I'll pop the kettle on 😊☕

Re: My Mosaic

The curse of anyone creative eh @Jynx!! Should see my mums sewing room! Small path in to her chair and desk, the rest is all clutter of fabric, crates and… stuff!
it’s why I started selling my art…. Need to create, but go nowhere to put it.

I use to be at my friends place all the time. Couple times a week. Was my second home. They were… still are family to me. They are moving on though. Sad.

what you get up to today? How are your kitties??🐈‍⬛

In response to: Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow aww you and your mum ever have to compete for art space?! 😂

Oh no, that's so rough! Are they moving far?

Kitties are good!! Razz certainly gave me A Time last night - I was heading out so very much needed the lil scamp to be INSIDE, especially cos I'd just done their flea treatment so she was still in her little shirt! I was scared it had gotten caught on a branch or something and she'd gotten stuck - but no no, little gremlin was just chillin under the house! Had to lure her over with treats then drag her out by the scruff of the neck!

She of course let me know how displeased she was with me by taking a MASSIVE PISS on my bag the next morning so... been cleaning up piss for my day, oh boy what a life I lead! 🤣🤣
