Mosaic addiction....

18 years ago

Okay, was washing my fav coffee mug and noticed that the outside is covered with silicone..since I always forget about my coffee till it's cold, I just grab the whole mug(not the handle), I thought to myself, "hey!This is a good way to get a good grip on this puppy!" and the moral of the story is: You Know You Are A Mosaic Addict When....

(Or maybe it's just the fumes again....)

    You give up and let it go your fantasy dream of being a high paying hand model and George Clooney wanting you to star in his next movie all because of your lovely fingernails.

    ROFL!!!! Janey you're tooo much!!!! How do you remember those things??? Can't stop laughing!!!

    Ok, I've actually done this....

    You know when you're a mosaic addict when you...

    stop to pick up broken pieces of colored glass in the parking lot cuz they are just the right size for the project you're working on.

    Not only broken pieces of colored glass, CAIT - ANYTHING on the street or in a parking lot that can be glued down I pick up.

    I guess I'm not quite there yet -- I drove past some crash glass -- the real thing, lying in the street waiting for me to pick up. It was a fairly busy intersection and it wasn't that much.

    buy a gorgeous hand painted Limoge platter on ebay and happily smash it to bits.

    Well I haven't actually smashed it yet but I always get addicted to things very fast and I do have a hammer. lol

    One day I'll post pictures of the projects I've done over the past 3 weeks.

    Er uh, hmmmmm. I've looked and can't find "one day" on my calendar, but today is the 6th of March. How about posting those pictures T.O.D.A.Y., girlie. You KNOW how hungry we are for eye candy!!!

  • 18 years ago

    Good one Slow!!! Yup! We LOVE Eye Candy!!!

  • 18 years ago

    I would take pictures but it's raining outside and cold...shivering as we speak and my pots are in my potting shed.

    I like eye candy as much as the rest of you. Maybe this will do till I can get out there.


    HOW'S THIS FOR EYE CANDY GIRLS!!!

    HEHEHE....I'm being naughty.

    Everyone needs a garden helper. LOL

    I did remember that I have a picture of my first mosaic project I did several years ago. This is the only mosaic project I did then I started getting back into it a few weeks ago.

    My top 5 reasons You know you are addicted...
    5. When you don't smell the silicone anymore

    4. When the ladies at the thrift store saves you broken dishes!

    3. When you serve your family canned soup and sandwiches again so you can get another hour of mosaicing in.

    2. When you get excited when your family breaks one of your collectable dishes!!!!!

    And my #1 reason...... When you seriously consider mosaicing your car

    Thanks slowmedown, for the encouragement. I started a birdbath yesterday but it's not grouted yet. It's in my sunroom waiting for a warm day to be finished.

    You KNOW you are a mosaic addict when: You start glueing stuff while you wait for you coffeee to brew in the morning, and by 11am, you're still glueing...in your pjs...and the coffee is the only thing you've consumed, and it was mostly cold!!!!

  • 18 years ago

    Oh, CAROL - I LOVE your style!!! So great to have you join us. You're GOOD, girlie. CALAM - it was the same when I was painting in oil. I got up one morning to just put a few strokes on a lemon in my stillife. My DH called out if I wanted coffee - I said "yeah, I'm coming". Next I heard was him saying "you wanna have lunch w/me?" I was shocked and said "haven't had breakfast yet". It was 2:00 in the afternoon and I had lost all that time and didn't realize it. Need I say my addictions are strong.
