What a beautiful pattern on those plates. I love the second birdhouse - I'm into the asian theme stuff myself.

Daisyme!!!! oh I love those amazing plates and the asian look to the birdhouses... so beautiful and UNIQUE!!!! wonderful work!!!! Yea, you can add pics now - we really love that here! LOL

Love those plates..........both birdhouses are really unique and beautiful....but you can send me the second! :)

Welcome, Daisy! What wonderful plates! The birdhouses are cute and you did an great job on making the seond one in the Asian theme. Your little twig accents are just perfect.

GREAT score on the plates...LOVE the color and design!
Your birdhouses are just so pretty and unique. The second one looks just like a japanese teahouse! (not that I even know what that looks like, but still...)

Holy dawg snot!! Glad you're a poster now.
Those are some bodacious plates and those bird houses are right up there with the Taj Mahal!!

Really nice find on the plates, and great use of them. I went to Japan a few years ago to visit my niece's family (military posting) and we got to see some of the temples, etc. and I think you did a great job of catching the "flavor" of them.

very cute birdhouses. I really like the asian one and I absolutely love the plates you got!!!! Glad you figured out the pictures.

AWESOME plates and birdhouses!!! Sooo glad you figured out the pic thing!!!

Those dishes are so dang awesome. Great birdhouse's.

GREAT plates and you did a lovely job with them on the birdhouses! My 6 yr old grson was looking over my shoulder as I was looking at the pics - his comment was "Tell her those are NEAT. I like the second one best of all" (Yes, I am working on turning him into a mosaic addict, too. So far his favorite part is breaking things! LOL!)

WOW! I really like those. They are definitely one of a kind - both of them. :O) Keep posting pictures!

Those are wonderful! Esp like the asian inspired one! What is on the roof besides the coins?

Thanks for all your wonderful encouragement! A friend showed me the basics of these last winter using broken SouthWest pottery, and I adapted her style, but use the ceramic plates that I find here in California since I can't get the pottery.

The roof is a slate-like rock that breaks into tile-like pieces that we find along the roadside hills here in the Northern California foothills. But if I didn't have that, I'd resort to other stones, or acorns or pinecone" leaves" or something else.

Daisy...
Very, very cool & unique...I like your style :)

Congrats on two counts - scoring those wonderful plates, and making such unique birdhouses. I REALLY like your style. Using found objects in one's surroundings is my idea of wonderful mosaicing techniques.

Both houses are awesome! beautiful plates, great find

Gorgeous! I love this. It is very unique and like nothing I've seen done to a birdhouse mosaic.

Very clever style you have going on there...I would have never thought to mix twigs with china..I love those,beautiful plates too but your design work is what made them special!

Yeah, those are indeed unique and very cute. I love rustic stuff too. Good job!
