Mother and Daughter Collaboration

18 years ago

I wasn't able to get my daughter 13 to actually help mosaic

this mirror for her room, but she had plenty of to say about the shape, and glass colors ( we even shopped for the glass together) and the grout colors, and objects and their placement. It made me realize I wouldn't enjoy doing a Commissioned piece!

    well If I were a teenager, I would think it's THE BOMB!!!! LOL

    It turned out very nice but I totally understand having to relinquish control is hard!

    OHHHHH Man, HAZIE! That is a real BEAUT! Even though your daughter didn't help glue the pieces on, it does show she has YOUR talent! The colors, shape, placement is RIGHT ON! TOO FAB!

    LOVE the shape! Your DD definitely has your talent, even if she IS 13...SUCH an aggrevating age!! Actually, doing a commission piece can be a little easier - remember, your DD knows exactly where your "buttons" are and how to push them to perfection.
    The object placement is so even and balanced.....LOVE it all!

    Love the colors of glass. What's in the upper left corner of the heart? It's a beautiful job.

    Oh Hazie..that is really beautiful........you two make a good team!! Really love the design!!! Did you cut out the mirror, etc...or did you find it like that somewhere...very unqiue!!!

    Thanks girls!!....I don't want to do different grout colors for awhile! I spent about 3 hours grouting. Next time I'll just paint the grout different colors........seems to go
    much faster that way!

    Crafty...That's a crown DD found in her box of goodies.

    Gypsy....I saw that heart shape in one of my glass catalogs, so I drew it on plywood and hubby cut it out for me. Good thing I got the saw for Christmas last year.....
    I never could've cut the V shape in the heart out of the mirror without it. I don't use it much....but when you need it, YOU REALLY NEED IT!

    Hazie, that mirror is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! Gosh your work is just outstanding! Your daughter must be very proud - even if she doesn't let you know that now.

    Tell me what kind of saw you are using. Is it a table jigsaw? I don't know much about saws but sure would like to have one to cut shapes like this.

    D3bbi.....it's just a regular jig saw and lots of sanding
    to get the shapes perfect. Hubby hates that about me! I will sand and sand when he's done.

    That's absolutely beautimous! I especially love the pinkish purpley grout against the black tiles. You and your daughter did a great job and I'm sure she'll remember this project fondly :-)

    How cute that is..great job!!!!! I love the difference in grout color and shapes and use of the mirror tiles. It couldn't be any cuter!!! Your daughter did a super duper job of picking all those colors!!!

    GOODGRIEF! Another HAZIE creation that blows me away. AND, your grout is so well done in the overall beauty of the piece, I hadn't even noticed that it was two colors. DD sure got your creative genes. LOVELY.

    Just had to look again......the different colored grout makes it very pleasing to the eye...it pops! You do amazing moasaics!!

    Beautiful!
    My 16 year old would absolutely
    love that.

    OMG, Hazie  this is

    I love everything about it. The shape is really cool, the colors are fantastic, the placement of the tesserae is perfect (as usual). That glass is so beautiful!!! And the two colors of grout was the perfect choice. That pink next to the black just makes it pop. This is just amazingly beautiful. Wow. I love it.
