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 🙂

Night @Snowie my friend. I hope sleep brings you some reprieve 💕

@tyme yeah if you brush it too roughly over and over it will start to wear the paper. I use good quality paper, it definitely makes a difference and I try and go gentle and allow it to dry well between coats.

hey @Jynx 👋

Re: My Mosaic

Good point @Bow . Drying in between. I'm thinking I'll be sitting there brushing brushing brushing until I get the tint I want...only to have a hole in the paper!

@Bow more artistry tomorrow? I myself am spending some time tryna bundle some fake flowers to hang up... turns out floral arranging is harder than I thought!!

Re: My Mosaic

Yep @Jynx ! Hoping to get it all done before the weekend so I can then just chill a bit.

Re: My Mosaic

I kinda wanted it to seem like I was drying them in bundles @Bow - I've rigged some wire along the ceiling in my room, got some tiny wooden pegs and some like, twine and stuff, I reckon maybe I'll just have a play around with it and if it all goes pear-shaped....well I'll try to at least take photos of the disaster 🤣

I'm off hun!! We can show off to one another next time hehe. Nighty night, may your weekend be a chill and pleasant one!! 💜

Hey @Bow @Snowie !

How are you both? Is it hot where you are? I'm sitting in air con so I can't complain.

Thinking of you both.

Re: My Mosaic

Hey @Snowie @tyme 👋

yes it’s hot here. Very warm wind too, so have closed up all the doors. I’ve been inside all day though making stuff.

Made all of these with polymer clay.

baked in the oven and they set hard. stinks the house out too!

then I got on the jigsaw and cut up some wood. Sanded that too- put some gardening gloves on though to sand my hands and nails! I was sweating heaps! Sanding is hard work.

Then I painted the blocks of wood. And glued stalks on the flowers.

I’ll do the next step tomorrow. Sitting down to watch some tv now!

oh and my CM stopped by briefly.

how are you both?
