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

Do you know how to play mahjong? I don't. And how do you make those block thingys? You are so so creative. Can you send a photo when you have finished @Bow ?

Re: My Mosaic

We were in Tamil Nadu, flew into Chennai, took a train down to Madurai and then went up into some hills, no idea where, went in a van which had zero ac and broke down at one point.

I got really sick while there @tyme nearly ended up in hospital.

Re: My Mosaic

There is a version of mahjong called mahjong king @tyme thats what we want to play. I got some wooden blanks from bunnings and got the jigsaw out and cut 2cm tiles. They aren’t perfect, but gave them a sand and they will do. Need a coat of paint. And then I have made tile faces with my cricut to stick on the tiles. I’ve made 103 tiles. Will try remember to take a photo.

Re: My Mosaic

Cool! I have no idea about mahjong except they are little blocks that make noises on the table when people play. Do you need to know how to read the symbols? @Bow

That's one thing about india. I don't want the kids getting sick. I didn't get sick there. But then again, I didn't eat or drink their food/water. I got my own from australia lol, or I only ate food at the hotel I was staying at.

The culture there is amazing though~

Re: My Mosaic

Nah not worrying about the symbols, I’ve made completely different ones. Heaps of different ones I’ve seen people playing online @tyme

yeah we had to be super careful too, but i obviously slipped up somewhere.

Re: My Mosaic

I have 3 vaccinations I have to get before I go again @Bow .

Who did you go with? Any places in particular you enjoyed?

In response to: Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

Yeah we had to get a lot of vaccinations @tyme and took malaria tablets while there.

it was actually a church trip. We did a few open air crusaded, that was pretty amazing just to see, let alone to be apart of. Did some work at an orphanage. Visited churches, youth meetings, attended and help officiate the opening of a pharmacy (random I know), visited people at their homes, lotsa ministry. I shared my testimony and had it translated as I went.

Re: My Mosaic

Wow! That is soooo cool! Would you do it again? Also, how old were you when you went?

My sister wants to take the kids to an orphanage @Bow
