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 …

Almost Done!

Or, "It's All Over But the Grouting!" This is where we left off on March 29, in "The Table Mosaic". The view is from the back living room window, and I had just started to put the pieces around the little plate in the center. Gradually, the design grew. And as you can see, I …

Gems on the Driveway

On March 14, 2022March 14, 2022 By nanasworldwebIn House and Yard, Mosaics12 Comments

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 …

A Penny for Your Thoughts

On December 2, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn Mosaics19 Comments

Well, maybe more than one. . . I have mentioned before that my father was a man of many talents and many interests. If you've read "What the Doctor Ordered", you've seen (part of) his collection of antique bottles. As with the bottles, I have also become the custodian of his coin collection. Lest I …

Don’t Chicken Out

On October 19, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn Mosaics22 Comments

Okay, I know this is a rooster. But I really liked my title. Anyway, awhile back, a friend "commissioned" a mosaic rooster for a tray she had. She paid me in stained glass, which if you ask me, is the way to go! Excited to make my first "commissioned" piece, I went online to look …

The Fireplace Mosaic

On March 9, 2021May 10, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn Mosaics24 Comments

"Gaudi-esque" That's a word I made up in response to a comment by Chris Hall from Luna's Online. She mentioned the famous architect and mosaic artist Antoni Gaudi (click here for Google images) in a comment on "Our House, Part 2". I replied that perhaps my house was getting a bit "gaudi-esque" with all the …

Our House Part 2

On March 3, 2021May 10, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn House and Yard, Mosaics22 Comments

I knew my front step wasn't finished... It just seemed like it needed something more, so I decided to make a mosaic "welcome mat". I love being able to "mark up" photos to get ideas for how something might look. Here I was experimenting with the flower idea. Finally I was done, and laid it …

Our house is a very, very, very fine house... With two cats in the yard... If you're old enough, you'll remember those words from the song "Our House" written by Graham Nash of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. My father with a cat, Houston TexasMy mother holding a cat, Crookston, MN For most of my …

“Why Mosaic?” Part 2

On July 1, 2020May 10, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn Mosaics12 Comments

Why mosaic? Let me count the reasons... When you are working on a mosaic, there is no pandemic. There is no street violence. There is no stress. There is nothing but color, texture, and design. It is a true escape. It's so much fun to see a new pattern developing!It's also fun to see the …

Yay! The sea animals are finished! It's taken just over a year, but we finally made it! So let's take a few minutes to review the project, and share a few more bits of mosaic info I've learned along the way.This photo, taken on February 10 of last year, shows one of the reasons why …
