Busy day in the studio!

Before I get creative and make foxes and long tailed tits which will be a big challenge, spent a day or two making the 'functional mosaics'!

Lulu, How i wish to have this in my kitchen:-))))

20 Feb, 2013

 

Maybe you could make something similar Junna!!?

20 Feb, 2013

 

I'll try Lulu, but as beautiful as like that maybe I can't, :-))))) Yours are so different , SUPER SPECIAL:-)))

20 Feb, 2013

 

Let me know how it goes!! x

20 Feb, 2013

 

they are fabulous lulu ~ bet they sell like hot cakes ~ or hot spoons?

20 Feb, 2013

 

Think I might mosaic some teaspoons for the next one!!

20 Feb, 2013

 

tablespoon might be easier! or do you mean put the teaspoon into the mosaic?

20 Feb, 2013

 

Put the teaspoon into the mosaic!

20 Feb, 2013

 

that makes sense! or a little mustard spoon?

20 Feb, 2013

 

depends on what I can find in the charity shops!

20 Feb, 2013

 

i will try to remember to look for you too

20 Feb, 2013

 

Oh thanks Sticki, that would be great!

20 Feb, 2013

 

they are great Lulu...how did u stick the jars on?

20 Feb, 2013

 

Glue in the middle of the back, let to dry thoroughly. Then the grout holds them on firm! I've got 2 in the bathroom for toothpaste, hairbrush etc. and a wooden spoon and teaspoon holder in the kitchen and they've stayed stuck for 5 years or more...thank goodness!!
I've now run out of large and the very small jars!!! I also have a vat of Marmite on the go!

How about half wine bottles instead of marmite,you could have a never ending supply aaaaaaaaaaaand they would look great with Daffodils.Of course if you must have a flat back Whisky bottles but don't try emptying them or bottles will be all crooked.

how about one of those lovely bristol blue coloured bottles?

20 Feb, 2013

 

The trouble with wine bottles is..............1. they empty far too quickly!! 2. the neck isn't wide enough to hold spoons....unless it's one spoon!!

20 Feb, 2013

 

but you could put a flower in one?

20 Feb, 2013

 

true!!
Trouble is...we never buy wine in half bottles!!!!

20 Feb, 2013

 

a big flower in a whole bottle?

how about some of those miniatures? i have one ~ i will save it for you.....dont let me forget!

Sticki I think Lulu has already drunk a bottle ,did I not say Daffodils,and the whole idea of half bottles was to keep her intake down.lol

20 Feb, 2013

 

she has disappeared now brian so you could be right!!

better not mention a jeraboam then!

20 Feb, 2013

 

LoL! A friend is keeping a jeraboam for me! Would love some miniatures...good idea!
You did say daffs Brian...sorry..multitasking!

20 Feb, 2013

 

;-) oh dear thats a shame i will have to drink the bottle now!

its a cider liqueur bottle ~ 5½" tall and clear glass

20 Feb, 2013

 

I will Lulu , thanks:-)))

They are something special and unique Lulu such beautiful colours to . I use to collect old bottles from a field where they were continually being turned up by the plough I used them for my glass painting ..

21 Feb, 2013

 

Have you finished the bottle yet Sticki!!
I love bottles that turn up from the ground..the glass quite often has a beautiful sheen to it.
What's your glass painting Amy? Painting onto glass...?

24 Feb, 2013

 

Just made another blue Marmite mosaic with a teaspoon mosaiced in too...it's worked well!

24 Feb, 2013

 

yes lulu bottle finished and i also have a marmite jar for you!

24 Feb, 2013

 

OOh ta Sticks! Just off to mosaic a mustard tin!!

25 Feb, 2013

I haven't done any for a long while Lulu , I use leadwork on glass bottles or mirrors and then fill in with coloured liquid paint giving it a stained glass effect ... I have a photo on here somewhere I'll try to find it ......

25 Feb, 2013

 

Would love to see Amy :)

25 Feb, 2013
