    Wow, great work. What is the large green stone with the dolphin behind it....paperweight????

  • 17 years ago

    The large green glass dolphin was a suncatcher. It fell and the top broke off so it wouldn't hang anymore. It had some sentimental value to it and I didn't want to toss it. Glad I didn't!

    The sencond stone is my first ever MOsaic! It is supposed to be a hummingbird sipping froma flower. The fourth one needs no explanation. ;)

    Those will all look great in your garden ... or on a garden wall! Good work! Jeanne S.

    They're FUN! Did you color the concrete? I like that color.

    Nice job. There is something very special about the first one. The subtle colors are nice and rather unusual.

    Great job! I like the hummingbird one. I'd definitely hang the one with the shell!

    seafire I like them I DO I Do I DO!!!
    I love when they are textured and not just flat.

    Those are very nice. You do good work. I really like the hummingbird.
    Thanks for sharing

    That's the problem with not having a yard, you can't make stepping stones! If I ever get that little house I keep searching for, I always thought I'd like to make a patio out of mosaiced pavers. That way I could mosaic them in the house on a table and then assemble them into a patio.

    I love the terra cotta looking pieces in the first photo. Were they originally a stone tile? And those green stones, LOVE them! I see I'm not the only one who likes Corona. he-he

    Did you embed the pieces into the concrete? You will have to watch that the pieces don't pop out if you did. The one great thing about grouting (despite all the horrid mess) is that it holds your pieces together forever (or a really long time).

    Now I want to make some stepping stones ...

    Those are all wonderful!!! They must have been a lot of fun to work on. I think my favorite would be the green one, but they're all great. Good to cya! ~tenderlee

    I love your stepping stones and I am making up my mind to make some of these this summer.. They look like so much fun and great for the grandkids to use to show what they like.. would be fun to have one with everyone name on it.. gosh, now my mind is going crazy thinking of all the neat things I can do with stepping stones.. watch out Lowes here I come for the concret.. and watch out Goodwill I am coming for plates and china.. to break up ..
    thanks for your ideas. and your share..

    Wow! Thanks everyone for all you comments. I did color the concrete with a liquid colorant made for concrete. The plates I bought at a dollar store and had fun smashing them! The Mosaic hummingbird took a good 8 hrs to cut and glue all the pieces, but I'm a newbie so it took longer. The Corona, well, what can I say. I was wondering what I would make with all those caps! LOL
