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

@Bow does that mean you can display more on a corner stall?

Just had my greys covered. I actually hadn't washed my hair for about 2 weeks (just no motivation), so even that was nice.

Nice @Bow !

Amazing work!

How did you make the Holy Night one with the blue background? Did you just stick the white paper on top? They are so amazing. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks @Snowie @tyme

@Snowie a corner sight can change the way you set up. Usually we have another stall on either side of us, so you just see us front on. We have hanging racks on both sides and then tables down the middle. But with a corner sight, it could be different. I really need to draw out and figure out what we can do. Only problem is that we only have 2 tables and 2 table cloths. Could go grab another table, but our table cloths are from online.

@tyme the long o holy night was done with watercolors. I just wrote the words and penciled in where the barn would be and then very carefully painted around it all.

The dark paint looks amazing @Bow . And then you used a gold marker? Wow wow and wow. I'm so astounded at how amazing your work is.

Re: My Mosaic

I've enlarged the photo of the O holy night one and just stared at it for ages. It's perfection to the tee! And how did you get the white dots? is it the paint markers? @Bow

Re: My Mosaic

Aww shucks @tyme! Thanks.

it took many coats to get it perfect! And the white dots…. Slightly watered down white paint and…. a toothbrush! Rub your finger along the bristles at a certain angle and it will spatter on the bag 🙂 very handy trick! And yes a gold marker. Love my gold markers- they are so pretty! And I only ever really bring them out at Christmas

Re: My Mosaic

I think most people will be too busy looking at your amazing work to worry about a table cloth @Bow

Will say goodnight to you both @Bow @tyme

Staying awake for any longer tonight won't end well.

I hope you both have a good night 💗

Re: My Mosaic

True... @Snowie

They will be looking at the art and not the cloth, nor the table @Bow

Thanks for the company @Snowie . It was great to have you.

@Bow Wow wow and more wows. You may need to do a time lapse video one day of your work. I reckon it would be amazing. Doesn't watercolour end up ripping the paper after so many layers? I have watercolours at home. But my creative brain is fried.
