mister anchovy's: Backyard Mosaics

Saturday, June 30, 2007

Tuffy P and Kate spent the afternoon making mosaics in the backyard, while I finished off the stone path.

Gardenia said...: I'll be excited to see where you end up placing the mosaics. They are very nice - pretty Tuffy P!; 12:18 a.m.
Radmila said...: Those are really cool.
Are you hanging them or placing them on the path?; 8:18 p.m.
A said...: These are fantastic! Would you mind sharing the materials they used? I'd love to try this at home.; 9:44 p.m.
mister anchovy said...: they're going to be hung somewhere in the garden....and Tuffy says there are going to be more! They started with plywood and used an acrylic based tile cement. Materials were a whole grab-bag of stuff including sea shells and Twiggy's food bowl and other stuff Tuffy has been saving. Normally grouting would be the next step - but that may be a challenge because of all the different heights of the tiles and shells and whatnot. The edges of the plywood will be sealed with white glue.; 11:35 p.m.

It'd be great to see some pictures once they're up. And how about that stone path too? Am I too demanding?; 11:24 a.m.
