Abstract mirror - grouted and done !

18 years ago

I love having friends egg me on because knowing me - it would probably be in the closet labeled "my PHD" . LOL

The doodads are glass jewels , irridized globs , a piece of cut out china , ball chain ... and a porcelain rose .

I used lot of brite back tape so the light will be reflected - but I'm disappointed in the dark purple. Oh well .... I'm the worst critic ~~~

    Did you cut out a base to put the glass on? How did you ever come up with the design? I don't know why I can't get flowing lines like others. I love how modern it looks.

    Serius - I copied the design *blush* ... I was in a ceative slump and this design spurred my enthusisiam ...

    When I'm at my best --- I do flowing designs like this.

    Really Amazing TMG!!! I REALLY LOVE IT!
    Wow! Wow! Wow! So where are you hanging it? It needs a special place where you can see it all the time, so you can
    stay inspired.

    Hazie --- I'm keeping it aside ... the only thing that kept me sane this last year is buying decorative stuff .... alittle bit here & there .....for when my FIL is gone . It's a future project that I'm going to hang in my newly claimed living room . It gives me hope ~~ :)

    Oh so pretty! Love the shape and colors!

  • 18 years ago

    How did you copy design so perfect,almost looks like a pattern drawn on it.I'm still trying to figure out how to do that.

  • 18 years ago

    Ditto, BREATHTAKING! GORGEOUS! Absolutely nothing to dislike. Never would have thought of putting a delicate light rose with all that dark color and it is stunning. You should be so proud of yourself for lots of reasons...

    Very Nice TMG - very nice!!

    silly mirror question this morning:
    How is it that your individual mirror pieces still reflect a single image, rather than multiple images of the same thing? I've never understood that. How come some 'broken mirrors' each have their own reflection of the space, but when they weren't broken, they reflected a single image?

    Follow that?

  • 18 years ago

    Wow, you really outdid the "original". It is gorgeous!!

    Maria

  • 18 years ago

    that's a good question -- maybe, because all the pieces are flat ? If they are angled toward each other ,wouldn't the reflection be all wonky ? I'm guessing,too. Now I'm going to be thinking about this all day ~~~ LOL

    Gorgeous, I love the shapes you've used and all the beautiful colors,

    What was your substrate? I can't tell from the photo.
    GREAT JOB!!

  • 18 years ago

    WOW! That is absolutely gorgeous. That design is amazing. I love this - what a beautiful job you did. I'm at a loss for words - just fantastic!

    WOW! I LOVE IT!!! (Yes, I'm screaming...just ask the dog who's staring at me like I've lost my mind again!!)

    Maybe someday I can try something along these lines!!

    Thank you soooooooo much ! My cheeks are red ! LOL
    The substrate is my favorite thing to work with - 1/8" plywood. I buy 4 x 8 sheets and cut them into sections .
    My "Stash" is down in the basement - next to the freezer ( and it's a GOOD stash !,too !) I also love to use "foam core type board " - it's not foam in between - it's plastic on both sides with plastic ribs in between. My friend works at a liquor store and they gets tons of huge signs and cutouts and displays. It's 1/4" thick. They throw it away .
    ( Not anymore !) *snicker!*
