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 🙂

Thinking of you @Bow if there's anything we can do to make it more bearable right now.

What art and craft have you been up to lately? @Bow

Re: My Mosaic

I actually have done much recently @tyme i have a paint by numbers on my easel and I’ve done a tiny bit. But no motivation.

I’ve finished my Lego castle.

I have been doing some puzzles. I did a Disney one this week. 1000 pieces. Took me 3 days.

I got some mosaic supplies this week, will do some of that in the Christmas holidays.

Re: My Mosaic

Three days to do the puzzle, well done @Bow .

I just went downstairs to have a look at my lego cupboard. I've got so much lego I haven't made yet.... lego is so awesome.

I love Legoland here in Vic.

With the paint by numbers, what I don't like about them is that you can see the numbers through the paint once it's finished. Do you find that? Or is it only the cheap ones that are like that? I've never actually done one, but I've been to someone's house and they have heaps hanging on the wall, but you can see the numbers. Can you do heaps of layers of paint?

Re: My Mosaic

If it’s a puzzle I’m enjoying… like the Disney ones, and I’m on a roll, I just keep going and going. That one missing piece in a big section gets me stumped and I can’t quit until I find it.

@tyme what kind of Lego sets do you have? I have the paris skyline to do, a london bus and some cheap knock off lego sets of flowers. I think I’m getting some new flower sets for Christmas and I’m sure I will buy more next weekend!!

yeah, unfortunately a lot of the paint by numbers you need to do double coats… or thick first coats. It’s super annoying! The cheap ones are the worst though.

Sorry I’m just going to jump in @Bow @tyme

I have decided I want to get some Lego sets. I might look online when I get home. You have both inspired me.

Ok.. popping back out!

Re: My Mosaic

Oh you got lots of work to do then @tyme ! But fun work! Is it the pink or yellow parrot? I’ve been eyeing off the parrots but I want the new pink one. There is also a cute insect set.

yes Lego is so fun @Captain24 there are so many different themes you can collect too
