WELLGOODGRIEF! Haven't you been a busy little bee?! I can see why the heart paver went quickly. It's wonderful. The lines on the heart are super clean. How'd you do that so perfectly? Good job - love the background colors. On the peach/white plate - IMHO, it could use more tesserae - while it's beautiful as is, I think less grout and more glass/shards would enhance it. No advice on grout - my fav is gray. The initials are cute, as well as the lollipops. Since the initials have hangers - what w/they hang from? Great color on the Hope plate. Are those half marbles small? I can never make them look like anything when I try to use them. BTW - if you'll email me, I'll tell you what symbols to put in front of and in back of your URLs to make a clickable link.

Sorry about the links! I was trying to hurry and get it done during my break! :) Thanks for the nice words!
I don't know that the heart is done 'perfectly' but I just drew the heart on the stone and made sure I lined up each edge with that line. I really liked doing the all triangle thing. The background is just a bunch of leftovers I was trying to use up. OOPS! I didn't realize the peach plate was not taken after I finished gluing everything on. The "bottom" section of it has more than is shown. One of the initials is for my daughter and the other is for my "daughter" next door. I'm sure they will just hang on a wall. My marbles are about the size of a nickel.

Very cool! Love the heart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love that heart, too!
How did you make your "lollipops"? They are very cute!
Katie

Nice work! I really like your HOPE plate. Is that a plate or terra cotta tray? The color is very interesting.

Thanks ladies!
Katie - The lollipops are "high bounce" balls I got at WM for about $1. They are very hard, heavy balls about the size of a baseball. I just drilled a hole in the bottom and started gluing. The red and the blue are grouted. The others are not - they were pretty swirly colors so I left them. Spray painted some dowels and tada! lollipops! The HOPE plate is a plastic serving tray from GW. I know plastic is not highly recommended but it doesn't have much give so I think it will be ok. Need to have a big weekend of grouting! WOW! How fun. . . .
Have a good one!
