    I love everything. You do great work. I wish I could find time for all that. What kind of material did you use on the tables to mosaic on? Are you going to leave them outside?

  • 19 years ago

    I use wood. I seal it rather well. And yes i do leave them out all year. One i did a harley one has been out 5 years and is still holding up. I also use glass top tables. The next one again will be glass top one.

    Great stuff! I just started my first stepping stone tonight. Yours inspire me to really get busy! Where they seem to be inserted between boards, is that on a deck, or what? Could we see a more overall pic? Thanks for sharing!

    Here is another pic of the stones as the small deck/landing.

    Wow! you have some great stuff to share!
    Good to see you here!

    Hazie!!

    Wowzers!!!! You have beautiful things! Is that one stepping stone on a person skiing or skateboarding? I kinds thought I saw that! You deck/landing is awesome! Loves it!! Do you use the contact paper with your stepping stones? Cut doggie!! Does that bluish table represent a koi pond? How did you get your photobucket to have a purple background? I'm sorry my questions are all over the place; I'm a little high strung in the mornings! Anyway...your tables and stones are terrific! Keep up the great work!
    (P.S.- Isn't it neat to have been reading posts for awhile and then when you finally post and get responses from the likes of Ladyronnie, Toomuchglass, Bamasusanna, Slowmedown, and others that have been on this forum for awhile?!?! It's like their celebrities and you're getting their autograph! At least that's how I feel!)
    P.P.S Ladies if you are reading this and I didn't mention you, I wan't leaving anyone out, I just mentioned a couple! Everyone on here is famous in my book!

    Your moasaics are fabulous! Thanks for sharing....!

    Do you pour your own molds for the stepping stones or do you buy them? They are just knock out beautiful! Very inspiring....

    Very, very nice work! I love the way you've incorporated the
    stepping stones into the deck...how original and
    also love the big flower table. Tell me, have
    those large glass cutouts cracked at all? (in the flower that is)

    Beautiful work gretch!! I too love the way you've inlaid the stones, very creative. I also love your sink! Great idea for a water feature! Thanks for sharing your pics, all your work is inspiring, great job!!

    Thank you all. And i think all you do an awesome job. Kelly it is suppose to be a fairy.I collect fairys. No i don't use contact paper i just lay it out and if i like it i start gluing. I do look a pictures some.Yes the table does represent a loi pond. We have a 6000 gallon one.

    The purple background go to your account settings and you can change yours there.Doggie is gone. He went back to his owner. We had it for a year cause a friend moved and couldn't have pets.
    I buy the stones at lowes.

    The glass hasn't broken yet thank god. LOL.. if it does i will just repair it.

    I'm just a beginer and i have learned from reading from you all and your work just floors me you all are great and a insperation also.

    gretch: welcome to MM ANONYMOUS! I love the look you get from your stepping stones. It looks like a patchwork quilt! Thanks for sharing w/us....

  • 19 years ago

    Hi Gretch, those stones are very impressive and I really like how you made your decking with them!

  • 19 years ago

    Hey Gretch! Thanks for joining in! Love the uniqueness of your porch and that sink in the background!(I'm looking for just the right sink!!) I like the tap for the sink, it's making me think outside the box, and I like the square patchwork quilt look of putting the stepping stones like that, I've been stuck in path mode, but this is really giving me ideas!!!

    Welcome Gretch!!!! I love all your stuff....its good that you came out of the shadows!! We all started out as lurkers and look at us go!!!! Welcome!!!

  • 19 years ago

    Welcome! I just love what you've done with the stepping stones incorporated into the deck. What a great look.

  • 19 years ago

    Love all your works. Some great pieces, but I do love the deck project best I think.

  • 19 years ago

    Hi Gretch. Wow! Loved seeing your work! Thanks for full pic of your stones... what an inspiration!!!
    I especially like your table with the larger glass pieces also. I've been doing a piece (my first mosaic) with tiny pieces so to see your beautiful table was another inspiration! Welcome!

    Howdy!
    Sorry, I was out of town for the weekend and didn't get to reply until now.
    Holy Dawg Snot! That is one bodacious mosaic album you got goin' there!
    I LOVE the inlaid stones on the deck. I might have to borrow that idea!
    Welcome to the forum. Hope to hear more from you!
