I think he's great. what is the clothing stuffed with?
I also think its neat you got your inspiration from that particular garden. While I definitely take a live and let live (or Live free or die as we say in New Hampshire)attitude, it didn't occur to me to look at that garden for inspiration. I'm definitely taking a second look now, lol.

That was quite a big accomplishment!!! Congratulations. Hope to see him on his wall. He will be a fantastic conversation piece that your guests will all remember. Great Job.

OMgosh, calamity! Looks like Humpty's been put back together again (after that great fall)lots of "crackling!" ...WOW...you did it! What work! Your mosaicing projects are all just awesome! TFS!

I broke a dinner plate in pcs. with my hammer a couple days ago.. (and kept thinking, "I cannot do this, I cannot do this.")...owwww, hard breaking dishes. But, anyway, I think it's more "pottery" plates cause pretty thick...can I use that on outside mosaic?? Or just porcelain? A newbie at trying this. Thanks! Jeanne S.

Very cool! I can't wait to see him in your yard.

gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is a test you can do in on your plate, stick your tongue on the exposed middle of the plate and if it sticks to your tongue, then it will not be good for lasting outside, the plate will chip off in the rain/winter/freezing. I try to use strickly porceline plates and tiles as they are good for outside, they hold up better. I also go to the flooring/tile store(not a big box store) and buy outdoor mortar and grout and sealer, that way I know it has a better chance of lasting for a longer time. But I am big into doing outdoor mosaics so I "invest"! If you remember to bring your stuff in and store it inside during the winter, I don't think you need to be so fussy! Hope that helps! So I have a cement slab poured for Humpty's wall but just haven't gotten the brick wall started yet! Have been working on my yard/gardening so much, took on the whole 1/2acre!!! that I haven't done a lot of anything else....haven't even gotten my pond done either! Boohoo! My poor fish live in barrels right now!

Humpty Dumpty looks very dapper in his fine suit & all put back together again. Is his suit grout over chicken wire? You did a beautiful job on him! Jan

Humpty is VERY Cool!!! What a great job!

Humpty is a combo of junk...he has a light fixture head(metal) and a wire mesh body and his clothing was stuffed with towels/shopping bags, and arms are foam insulation spray. Then I used a paintbrush and mortared/painted his body, adding drywall fibroglass mesh. His leags are not doing good tho, I have some modifications I have to do, but I am basically happy with him!

Jane, Humpty is a very handsome fella! Love your mosaic work and look forward to seeing him on his wall.

IKWYM about taking on a large garden project! While we've accomplished a lot this summer there's still a ton of projects to do. Oh well, it'll get done eventually.

What a project, you have really worked hard on him and he turned out adorable. I am a little afraid to even start giant projects like that. But, I did get a box of glass tiles and stained glass at a GS this weekend and I am getting really close to starting my first mosaic project.
