I don't know if this qualifies as art.....


but this is what I have been working on for the last few days. My neighbor Maggie does GREAT mosaics and I had to try, so she loaned me a bunch of stuff and Katie, Angie and I went shopping for garage sale plates today. I spent the evening questioning what the heck I was doing besides making a HUGE mess. I liked doing it and plan on trying more, probably tomorrow if I get some time in. I want to do more, I think I liked grinding the pieces to something close to the shapes I wanted the best. Cleaning the grout off was NOT the fun part. I just hope I get as good as Maggie who TRANSFORMED her kitchen into a work of art. This is the top to a bench I got for mothers day many, many years ago. I wonder if the kids will like it. *Here is a little addition, finished, because several freinds laughed last night when I said I wasn't going to be until it was done when they saw me working on it. Guess what? I didn't. I have it in one of my little gardens and I can tell this is my "new thing".... mom already has a project for me for her table for her Virgin Mary. I love discovering cool things!
