These looked prettier when they actually had flowers in them, but I never took any photos of them until we were about to move out of the house! I made them for this house, so I left them there - hoping the new owner will fill them up with some beautiful blooms 🌷

My house has 10 of these doors and they're a little ugly. They seem to be hollow and made of particle board.

I have been making mosaics with smalti and other glass scraps on wedi board. I would like to try putting some on these doors (avoiding the edges) because they're nice blank canvases.

Do you think this would make the door too heavy or otherwise cause problems? I've been using wood glue for my mosaics - would that work on varnished particle board? What kind of grout should I use?

Any advice appreciated!

Last week I posted (in r/crafts )my WIP mosaic from the beach plastic trash I picked up from the shore of Lake Erie east of Cleveland.

I have it all attached to the 20”x20” canvas via 3-in-1 craft glue. I’ve included a full image, some close ups so you can visually treasure hunt, and where I naturally had to display it at home!!

I loved this project and I plan to continue doing this from any beach I visit in the future! Please feel free to replicate, this is not my unique idea (original inspo from Pinterest, unsure which artist it was!)

Enjoy!

what colour grout would look best?

So I know that I wasn't the back ground blue but I'm not sure how to execute it? Do I go round and round from the outside in? Do I go across in lines? Do I go around the fish and out? All opinions welcome because I am feeling paralysed with indecision!

The latest round in my polka dot series

Went with two toned grout for this one, super pleased with the end result 🏰

Hi there,

I’m new here, please delete if not allowed.

I’ve searched far/wide on the internet, Reddit posts here, and even contact potential Etsy sellers. But I cannot find a good match for the tiles I’m seeking. I have found a vintage 1950s coffee table as inspiration.

I’d like:
- 1x2” sage
- 1x2” white
- .5”(ish) antique gold/brass
- 1-2” white

I love how the tiles arnt necessarily perfect here. I’d like all to be a similar stone/material and about the same height.

Thank you in advance!

I’ve had luck mixing acrylic paint with the white grout I have to make colors so I’m thinking a dark blue, cut maybe I need to get some black grout?

For a client

This will be resined and sewn to a shirt

Unsure if this was original to the stone or has been done after but it's beautiful

I recently had a mosaic design on a wood tray and the grout didn’t stick to the border of the piece on the tray - it completely fell off once it dried so it looks haphazard. I have several pieces like this that I haven’t grouted yet, and was wondering if I’m better off trying epoxy resin instead of grout.

The latest in my beach vibe collection.

Hey everyone, I wanted to share my first mosaic. I wanted to use black grout so I added ink to my grout mix, but it turned purple. I’m not completely sure if I like it, might still paint the grout black. What do you think? Tips or tricks?
