ungrouted
grouted and cleaned up
I used a large glass green coaster for the port hole
Several types of Copper and silver metal for the details and to define the areas and shapes
black stained glass, back painted gold textured glass and turquoise stained glass
a few glass rock pebbles
several different buttons which are the star, the round ones on the bottom edge and the anchor buttons
and some rusty parts I found in the shed
it is grouted with Sandstone sanded grout
size is approx. 20 wide by 18 long
it is hung up in our master bathroom
over a Pour Painting that I recently learned how to do
and it is near my octopus mosaic
I began my first mosaic in August, 2011. Since then it has become one of my favorite hobbies. Always in search of treasures, glass, plates and great finds to place in the mosaics I make. This blog is also for displaying other crafts that my husband or I create.

Octopus Mosaic
A fairly large piece. To be used in the master bathroom.
Ungrouted
His body is gray stained glass
The eyes are 2 large acrylic gems
At the top of the tentacles are silver/gray acrylic pearl beads
The suckers on the tentacles are discs from the hanging room divider curtain
There are a few pieces of gray/black tiny small glass aquarium gravel scattered thru the tentacles
The water is several colors of stained glass
Also used aqua, blue and green pieces of aquarium gravel to fill in spots on the water.

Deer Wall Hook Holder
I made a wall hook holder for my husband to hang his ball cap on.
I used some acrylic gems
a few glass gem blobs
faux pearls
a few mother of pearl pieces
some metallic plastic pieces
The white glass was broken vases that were tumbled in the rock tumbler to make sea glass
White Plates
Some lime china pieces
the brown pieces are from a coffee mug
The deer piece actually came with a wind chime, but we never used it to hang the chime from.

Fairy Girl Mosaic
she's 18 x 30
this is ungrouted
I finally grouted the last of the winter mosaics
grouted
Her face and the one ear are made from polymer clay.
There is an old brooch/pin on her forehead
her eyebrows and the markings on her face are bb's
Black gems for pupils/white glass shards around the pupils
The leaves in her hair are from pins that I found in at a garage sale in Terry when I was out junkin'.
I also used some rims from some floral plates in her hair
green mother of pearl for her gloves
more bb's for the swirl designs along with small green glass tiles cut in half
her body, arms and legs are differentiated by leather cord and those parts are composed of tan stained glass
she has leather cord straps across her neck
the rest of the picture has several kinds of stained glass, broken pottery, beads and acrylic gems
