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

That's gorgeous! The pink is awesome! Are those rhinestones around at the front of the cupboard? @Bow

You are so so so talented. I'm so impressed. Is D going to be the lucky recipient of it?

Re: My Mosaic

@tyme yeah I had the option to do it at home or at the hospital and I just know I will not sleep well at hospital. Plenty of experience has shown me that. Plus all those wires!
I went to the hospital yesterday afternoon and got all wired up and then went home to sleep. Down both sides of my face, my chin, behind both ears, 2 on the top of my head, 2 on my chest and then a band around my chest and one around my stomach. I then had to attach a wire to both legs, 2 nasal prong things and a finger oxygen reading all before bed. They were all plugged into a black box attached to a little computer gadget that I had to wear. It was cool cause she showed me how it reads when I blink, when I close my eyes, open and close my mouth and all sorts of other things.
I have an appointment in about 6 weeks. They will analyze all the data before then.
He said they only really need a few hours of sleep to get their data.

Thanks @tyme

No they are individual wooden half spheres! I put long lines of double sided tape onto cardboard and stuck them down, spray painted them, pulled them all off again and then individually glued them on the doors!

nope she is mine! I just store arts and craft supplies in it.

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow that cupboard looks amazing hon, I love the colours.

You were very brave to go bright pink but it works so well.

I hope today is kinder for you.

@Jynx @tyme thanks for thinking of me.

I wouldn't know where to start.

Re: My Mosaic

I really wish today would be kinder, but alas it’s not. There is a great big monster inside yelling and screaming at me relentlessly and I’ve had enough.
im tired. It’s hard to see any way forward
