Hi everyone! Foster here, with an update on Mom's Sea Animals project! I have to say this project seems to be taking forever, but she says she's coming in for a landing, and there is light at the end of the tunnel. Not sure what all that means, but she said I could do this …
I've always liked elephants. Which is why I decided to decorate the guest room in an elephant motif. For the longest time this tiny room was home to both a queen sized bed and a set of bunk beds, which left about two feet of space for any potential guests to even walk. But now that …
As the saying goes...If you're doing mosaic sea animals on your bathroom tile, you might as well go all out! When we left off at the end of "Because I Can", this was how far I had gotten with the sea animals mosaic. At that point I wasn't sure if I wanted to go all …
About 5 or 6 years before I retired from teaching... ...I asked an eighth grade girl why she was doing whatever she was doing in my class. (I don't remember what it was now, you can fill in the blank: texting on her phone, playing games on her tablet, talking to her friends, doing her …
Over the summer, a friend gave me a teacup. It was her favorite teacup, but it had cracks in it and couldn't be used anymore. Since I was getting into mosaics made out of broken china and stoneware, she said maybe I could break it and use it for something. I knew I wasn't going …
Okay so I really like geckos. Well, not the real ones, they might be a little slimy, or scaly, I'm not sure which. (By the way, I got this photo, as well as the featured image for this post, from Pixabay.com.)I like to draw geckos, especially "talavera style".I even have a card with this design …
In case you haven't noticed... I have been on a "mosaic roll" for awhile now. Awhile back I went outside to organize my "tesserae". (Don't you just love that word? It sounds so...well, artistic.) You've seen my outdoor mosaics and my "work station" on the patio. I can pretty much stay out here for hours …
So my neighbor was having this yard sale... I get the best stuff from my neighbors and their yard sales! So much so that I seriously have a folder of pictures on my computer, waiting to be made into a blog post about it. But for now, let's just start with the glass vase.I actually …
Don't you just love turtles? I do, because, besides being cute, they have such potential to be whimsical. I like them in drawings, on stepping stones, in mosaics, photos, and even in real life. Except that if you get those really tiny ones at the pet store, you have to wash your hands after touching …
Okay, you really don't want to know about my "former" sago palm... Suffice it to say that I had to trim back all its leaves... However, I managed to plant it in the flower bed, so we'll see how it does there. It also had two "babies" that I will be attempting to plant as …
