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 🙂

Hiya @Bow was hoping I'd see you today! How are ya travelling?

I have an art question for ya, I did a woopsie on my lil knife flower gem jaw shield... thingy 😅 Thought you might have some ideas. Only if you have brain-space for it though!! No pressure 😋

Lousy as @Jynx

Curled up back in bed. But got some packing done this arvo.

Sure, the distraction would be nice

Re: My Mosaic

Gotcha covered @Bow 😉

Sooooo basically, the glue got a bit messy. And then in wiping it, I have smudged/removed some of the black! My own fault for not putting a top coat on 😅

But now look, left of the blade -

So because it is spray paint, I can't just paint over it. I thought about maybe sanding the whole thing a little, but that's gonna be hard with stuff already glued down, and also to make it even.

It's not THAT obvious in dim lighting -

I thought I could maybe glue the jawbones there, but not sure if it is gonna look weird!

Any thoughts? Clever work arounds? Secret artistic solutions? lol

Re: My Mosaic

Arck! Dang glue making a mess and going where it shouldn’t! @Jynx Happens to me so much! The amount of time I have to pull up all the glued down stuff and start again.

I wonder if you could cover all the stuff you have glued down already with like cling wrap really well and then carefully spray that area again?

Or you could sand it all, give it a rustic look. But it would be fiddle, sanding around everything, but doable.

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow Hmm it does all sound pretty fiddly hey!! The other kicker is that I'm out of black spray paint lol so I'd need to go get more. The other thought I had was to maybe paint a pattern or something over it, but I don't think it would look that good - and I have very unsteady hands!

Oh well, trial and error, hey! What art projects you been working on? Any that have you heaps excited or inspired?

In response to: Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

Ah no paint left! That’s annoying @Jynx sticking the jawbones on could work, but I think I prefer it without them.

no art projects on the go at the moment. Packed my desk up for the year. I did print out a heap of ‘Lego dollars’ and ‘Disney dollars’ and fake legoland and Disneyland entry tickets. Stuck them in a long line and then rolled them up. That will be part of D’s Christmas present.

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow whatever I decide I'll be sure to show you the finished product!!

Ach, just went for a lil walk on my break and now I'm all itchy!! Bare feet in grass is sublime until the seeds all get too gnarly!

Wow almost like battening down the hatches for the xmas whirlwind haha. Aww that's so cute!! She's gonna scream! Or hopefully just squeak, we don't all have the ears of a youngling 😅

How much do you decorate your place?
