Mosaic table

 Well this is my table! The photos ended up in a random order ....it took me 2 goes to do this ie to put them on the blog here...I really like my table...I also painted some plain pieces of china for fun...right in the center of the china is a piece of funny beach glass I picked up in Cape Breton a few years ago..it is pinkish and quite thick and pretty..I like it.

 This painting I did from a youtube video...maybe from Diana Trout..I'm not sure ...but its not original..I really wanted something to brighten up the kitchen...I think the painting will eventually change as much as I like it..I would prefer to have an original up there...:)....
 These pics are out on the balcony at the start and during the process...didn't want tile glue inside..!!
 You can see the some pieces I painted..pretty daggy but I like them..

Thrift shop finds

 New thrift shop finds...a really cute old history book with lots a few coloured illustrations throughout..and a little sugar bowl...was thinking of smashing it for mosaic but maybe it should stay as it is...too cute..

 This is an old tie...I loved the pattern on it so it came home with me..

 and then this!!! a gorgeous old pic made from little chips of glass...it is really pretty and I love it in our lounge..see the cushion I made from an embroidery I brought back from Australia - Aussie wildflowers.
