projects and experiments!!

19 years ago

Finishing up some things and doing some small projects... winding down to vacation!! Leave Sunday - gone for a week!!

Lots' o pics in the slideshow below!!

First is the framed mirror (the unsanded grout problem). Want to do a bigger one with a window I have

I'm doing another one as a picture frame for the lady that gave me the cups (the back of the frame didn't come off, so I have the bag protecting it.

Have 2 weeks off when I come back. Want to work on the wall. Going to do 4 sections. Thinkng of flower pots, or Slow's diamond look or both!! May do rocks at the bottom to protect fom lawn mower and weed eater!!

Made a blue ball to match my muchroom,. It's sitting on the prettiest blue candle holders!!

STILL working on this darn cat. Threw a little left over grout in some spots to motivate me. Accidently bought white GEII so used it under clear glass half-marbles to make a face ( major stumbling block) Doing a ball with mirror tiles for the gazing ball.

Found these bingo markers for 1.50. Cool colors. did this small piece of glass with one. I think they had blue, too. Glass held up nice when I cut it

Stole chickeemama's idea for some balls for a clear vase I have. The one on the left needs cleaning yet.

Good Grief, you've been BIZ ZY! Great projects - love them all, and those tiles you made are great. At first glance they look like dish prints. Those w/fit nicely in any Shabby Chic design. LOVE the window.

Wow Maria, you've been busy!

I like how you used the tiles on the mirror to make it look like windowpanes.

Your vase & balls are pretty, did you use gold foil on the ball first and then glue clear gems on top?

Slow's right, your pink tiles are very pretty and they DO look like they are dishes.

BTW...I bought white GEII by mistake also...must be something in the air here LOL

Barb - LOL, I didn't notice until I opened it! Oh well, I'll use it for something!

I sort of used gold foil -I didn't have any so I sprayed regular aluminum foil with gold paint. Those are clear and VERY Light blue gems.

Did something with those pink tiles today. Post it tomorrow.

Fun projects! yeah, I remember your cat - it's looking very cute! I haven't tackled mine yet. Keep setting it aside. I know I'm gonna have to use really small pieces on mine, and I'm concerned about the face looking right. Just not comfortable starting it yet. There's plenty more on my list, tho....never run out of TBM's!

I'll be anxious to see what you do with the wall - that will be fun!!!
