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 🙂

I find it easier to focus on them when my hands are occupied (but not by something complex) @Bow - like doing the dishes or hanging out washing. Helps me concentrate!!

Oh sounds ethereal, what was the book about?

I think it's gonna be super hot this weekend, or at least it is down here! Soooo maybe not mowing the lawn lol no one wants our poor Bow getting heatstroke!!

You could always take yourself out on a date! Treat yourself! Go to the beach and sunbathe (with SPF50+!!) and then grab an ice cream! Go out and see a movie that you wanna see but no one in your fam would wanna go to! Head to a cafe, take whichever book you wanna read, and have a couple of cuppas and a delicious cake while you absorb some knowledge!!

OMG yay!! I'm so excited for you!!

Re: My Mosaic

Hmm maybe I could try it @Jynx will have to have a look.

the book is about a young girl from the Gold Coast called Emma, she went to Switzerland and went sky diving. The shoot did not open and stuff happened and she hit the ground with the instructor on top of her. Became a paraplegic. She has been able to relearn how to walk even though she can’t feel her legs. So is her story. I’ve followed her on Instagram for years and she is a pretty amazing person! All the things she has been able to do despite her injuries. She’s young, a blonde, she’s funny but so insightful.

I usually drop D off and then go wander at the shops for a while. I have a hot chocolate from a cafe that makes their hot chocolate with melted choc, so it’s delicious! I’ll probably do that and then come home and fluff about, do some craft, paint my nails. Who knows!

In response to: Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

Ooo! @Bow

Ted talk sounds good. Do you have the link?

It's my niece's bday on Friday so I'm not sure if we are doing anything. Too hot anyway.

In response to: Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

Yep, here is the link @tyme

Re: My Mosaic

She's 8, going on 18... seriously.. @Bow

Kids these days. She drives me bonkers because she's so sharp with her tongue.

You know what @Bow ? You seriously need to start a card making business or something. Your talent is incredible. Did I tell you I used to make wedding invitations and cards? It was so much fun. I didn't do it for money. People just asked for them and they paid for the materials and I made them.

As I've said before, I don't like making things that don't have a purpose and it just stays in the house. I want it to have a purpose. Hence, making stuff for people is great because I don't have to keep them in the house, and I still get the joy from making them.

The cards were on metallic card. I then glue taped a gold strip down one side, printed the couple's names and used pearl rhinestones to decorate parts of the name.... i don't even have photos....
