Table Update

On June 14, 2022 By nanasworldwebIn Mosaics13 Comments

We all know that grouting is the best part, right? I guess it is, if you're outside and you're not too stressed about getting the color wrong. The other day it was time to put the grout on the mosaic table. I was almost out of that color, but fortunately I had enough to finish …

Gems on the Driveway

Did you ever notice how plain your driveway looks? Don't you think it could use some decorations? Or am I the only one who thinks like that? Well, if you have the mosaic supplies, what doth hinder you? It all started out innocently enough. I thought it would be fun to put little mosaic flowers …

More Sea Animals!

I thought she was done... But I guess I should have known that with Mom you never can tell. So when she started bringing home all these little blue tiles I had a feeling something was up. The blue made me think of the sea animals mosaic in the bathtub. If you read "See? Animals!"  …

It Was Going to Be a Birdbath…

On June 4, 2019May 10, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn Mosaics12 Comments

Remember this? Yes, it's the famous toilet from "The Art of Being Big Girl Continued"! If you remember, it took me about three days to change out the toilet in the guest bathroom. My first thought was to put the old one out on the curb for the yearly neighborhood trash pick up. But we …

See? Animals!

The Sea Animals are finished! Hi everyone, this is Foster and I'm here to show you our finished sea animals mosaic. Oh, the title? Well that's what happens when your mom used to teach beginning English learners. She got thinking, that there were a number of ways to say "sea animals", all with different meanings. …

Sea Animals Part 3

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 …

Because I Can

On February 24, 2019May 10, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn Mosaics20 Comments

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 …

Piece by Piece

On January 16, 2019May 10, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn Mosaics

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 …

Turtles!

On November 4, 2018May 10, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn Mosaics

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 …
