Mirror, Mirror...WIPs

18 years ago

These Both look really cool in person.

I couldn't get a decent shot of the black one!! All black with random red mirror tiles. those are navel rings.Black grout,of course. I have to put black tiles around 2 outside edges yet and inside around the miror before I grout A present for my son's girlfriend. She works as a piercer


This is for my step daughter. She's been buging me to make her "one of my creations" Hopefully I'll get a lazy susan done by Christmas,too. Had to order more tiles for the mirror. Quik and easy here, no cutting LOL.Black grout for this. Somewhat inspired by Nicethyme's table

    Mirrors Mirrors on the wall! Really creative...are those really navel rings? Really unique idea...I thought they were just very pretty marbles I hadn't seen before......you made two winners!!!!

    oh, shrty...these are really, really nice!!! I just love both of them!

  • 18 years ago

    I love both mirrors but the girlfriend is going to LOVE hers. Really great idea.

  • 18 years ago

    LOL I was wondering where you were going with the navel rings. A git for a piercer is GREAT!!! She will love it.

    Both are really pretty.

    Both wonderful mirrors. LOVE the black one. Am I the only one who doesn't know what naval rings are? Never heard of/have seen them.

    What an awesome idea!! My daughter 20, was working as a piercer near Aspen through the summer. That would've been perfect for the shop. Wish I would've thought of that!
    That is too cool! The one for DD is really nice too,
    the glass and style is really pretty.

    I like your glass colors! Both of the mirrors are very striking! Beautiful!

    I'm curious, did you buy a store frame and insert mirror? I keep wondering if they are strong enough for mosaic glass.

    Maria they both look great and I agree it is really hard sometimes to get a good photo, especially with a mirror when you don't want to be seen in the picture! LOL They are going to love them!

    Slow...navel rings are used when someone gets their belly button pierced.

    OUCH!!!

  • 18 years ago

    To clarify a little better...they wear the navel rings AFTER they have had their belly button pierced.

    It's not so bad Slow! I had mine done years ago, and it didn't hurt as bad as getting my ears pierced.

    Had to come back for another look and realized the 2nd mirror is not grouted yet!sheesh! Is that faux glass on 2nd?

  • 18 years ago

    Great gift's maria...very unique idea.

    Jane -Real Van Gogh. Right now getting too busy for the do-it-yourself route. Even bought them cut LOL

    Slow- ouch for sure!!

    D3bbi- the black one is a TS mirror. Not really very big. The second is from Michaels-for $5 by the time I fooled around with wood and mirror, I figured it was worth it. I think they are sturdy enough.

    shrty- take a picture of the black one with something covering the mirror. The picture will turn out better. It looks great though from what I can see!

    If it sticks...we can use it!!! Nothing is sacred to mosaicing!!! Awesome idea for the use of the naval rings.

    Thanks Chickee.. I have some press n seal on the other, so I'll try that on the black, too

    I really love that Van Gogh mirror... something about using that glass in an ordered pattern is so rich looking isn't is? What color are you gonna grout them?

  • 18 years ago

    I think they are both going to be grouted black. Has to be on the "pierced" mirror, and I think the black will go good with the VG.
