hummingbird/fish/ball WIP

19 years ago

I feel as if I havent gotten to post any of my WIP in such a long time. I have been reading the posts even if I haven't gotten to comment on most of them. The watering cans that I have seen so far are just awesome. As are all the projects I have been seeing from our newbies and our regulars....

So here are a few of the things I have been doing...You can click on the pictures to make them bigger if they seem to small

The fish is a small box that I made for my new sister in law...I have never met here yet..she is in gingoog which is in the Philippines..we are hoping she will be here by next month.

The jar is my "ball jar" just to show the progress of how its going in filling it up.

The third picture is a mosaic for my mom...she loves hummingbirds. This will be put on a cement bench that she has and has graciously let me have creative design over....

    Great projects! Love the jar of balls, a lot of work making each little ball I bet! Love the hummingbird design, are you going to glue it on the bench and grout around it?

    Hi Chickeemama,
    Your fish is so cute, I'm sure your new SIL will love it.

    Love the nail ball in your jar...is that so any one reaching in to sneak a ball will get an unpleasant surprise? LOL

    Your hummingbird is beautiful. I think your mom will be very happy she let you pick the design!

    i love your work that fish is sooo cute

    Wow! I was wondering where you've been. Now I know. You've been quite the busy bee ain't ya?
    I LOVE the fish and one of these days I'm gonna start on a jar of balls like yours. The hummingbird, even though I know it's a challenge with all those cuts, will sure make your mom proud!!

    Oh my!!! Those are stunning! I have recently been checking out this forum as I want to mosaic an ugly old white birdbath that the former owners left here. I'd absolutely LOVE to do a hummingbird, but as this will be my first mosaic project I think I need to go with just random shapes :) Beautiful work! I love them all!

    Hi Chickee! Good to see you posting some projects - they are great! Love the fish - it's so cute! And your ball jar is such a good idea - and looks so pretty. And OMG - the hummingbird project is absolutely beautiful! I love all the colors, and it's gonna look gorgeous on that bench!

    Welcome Djscrapbooks, you could always start with a small picture frame, or bowling ball or something like that to get your feet wet in mosaics before you tackle the bird bath. Of course...remember to post pics, we love them!

    Thanks for the welcome Barb! I'm still just reading as much as possible before tackling my birdbath, but really want to "just do it"! LOL!! From what I've read so far, I do need to try something smaller first! I think I'll do that before I regret ruining a perfectly good (yet ugly) birdbath :)

    Everyone has done such beautiful work here! (Still in awe over that hummingbird here and love the blue around that fish!)I'm still drooling! And afraid of yet another addiction :) I'll share my stuff once I finally jump in :)

    chickee chickee chickee! Those are LOVELY! I can't wait to see more of the hummer.

    I've been wondering what you've been up to!

  • 19 years ago

    Thank you all for the great comments..I love it when I get to show off some of my work!!!! You all make it sooo worth it!!!! .I've not been able to check the post's until now...been such a nice day here we were busy swimming and doing yard stuff and shopping.

    I will be putting the hummingbird on the bench and grouting around it..not sure what I will do on the rest of the bench yet.

    I can't believe how many new people I'm reading from on this forum lately...welcome to all of you if I haven't said hi before!!!!!
