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.
