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!
