That is so unique! They will love it for sure! ~: )

Wooohoooo - got hearts??? Very pretty, ROSIE, and very thoughtfully done w/dates/names etc. Nice job.

Rosie, that is wonderful! I love how you incorporated their names and dates. Great gift idea!

Oh man, I LOVE it! I think it's just stunning! Good job.

Great gift! You work well under pressure don't you?

wow very vibrant and exciting, Love it!

WOW Rosie, it's stunning!!! And what a great touch - the wedding invitation pieces, etc., under crash glass. What a fantastic gift.

Beautiful Rosie! I love the colors and hearts. The personalizations will make it extra special.

I know what you mean about the last minute. I'm giving my DH's niece an afghan (I had started,but not finished about a year ago). Their wedding is June 2 and it's still not done!! Just some border, but I'm procrastinating!

I really like this! I'd be thrilled to get it (ok, you'd have to change the first, second, third, and fourth letters of the name, but the last two are right! :) Nicely done!

That is Fabulous!!!! I LOVE all the "goodies" you have on it!! Shapes, and is that a metal flower from Mexico I see??? What were those religious do hickies called again and have you used them? Like the niche you made too!!! Did you get the cds of Mexico? There is a pic of the four amigos that I'm gonna blow up to life size so I can hug You and Slow everyday!!!ha ha!
Man, Your projects/masterpieces are just so Over The Top!!!!

Rosie I love it!
That's a great personal gift.
I'm getting so inspired!
I haven't been in my studio in over a month.
Feeling the need now!
Thanks!

That's my favorite kind of mosaic --- a collage of different things. I bet they'll love it ! ( and -- you did a great job !) :)

Rosie that is wonderful.Hope they will cherish it forever. unfornatley some people don't appreciate the work or the feelings from the heart when you make them something special like this.I hope they will it is wonderful for a wedding gift!I thought I read in one of the forums about towers you made for your yard..but haven't seen pictures if you have them will you post?I'd love to see them! One of my favorite things ever is your Jorge I wanted to make my friends one because they have an old wagon from mexico but I can't find those kind of pot's here .I have the hat type in my yard but the body I can't find.Maybe someday I juszt love your guy!!!Annie

Thanks everyone! I HOPE they like the gift....BAMA: Work under pressure? Me? It is SO bad for you--makes me want to eat ANYTHING and EVERYTHING! SHRTY: I started a counted cross stitch sampler for my one and only niece just after she was born--she's about 9 now and I haven't finished it. Am I EMBARRASSED?! I think I'll give it to her for her 16th! So, don't procrastinate like me and get busy woman! CALAM: Yes, the metal flowers are from Mexico--painted my special way. Those do-hickies are called milagros and I haven't done anything with mine yet. I musta bought a hundred! You know I have that CD but have yet to look at it. BAD Pat! CINDYLW: The kitties did keep me occupied (I can see how old ladies leave all their money to animal charities--our local shelter was broken into and some of the animals hurt and stuff stolen--the radio station was collecting at the local SONICS yesterday--I gave them a BUNCH of moolah because I was heartbroken! BUT I kept positive thoughts about the kittens we had to place there.) and we just took our inside cat Buddy and outside mama cat LADBYBUG to board at the vets while we're in Ga for the wedding. Just call me "softie". CRACKPOT: I put a photo of the columns just after the grouted cake cover in my album. That paint is still going strong. I was sorta thinking I might need some closer to the house by the front door--don't know how that would fly w/dh. The grout on the cake cover is a tad light--I might paint wash it darker. We'll see.

Here is a link that might be useful:

Very pretty, ROSIE - good job - darker w/be better IMHO - like that forrest green.

Truely inspirational!!!!

Rosie - I love your concrete columns - they are great! That flower bed is beautiful.

OH ROSIE! it's just such an explosion of FUN!!! I LOVE IT!

Thanks Rosie,your colums are so pretty...I thought they were mosaiced but the paint is wonderful!!!And much faster...did you use concrete paint?They look so pretty in that spot...Thanks Annie

Came out great Rosie!!
