with mosaics unless it's little square pieces of glass!
This laundry project is almost a complete recycle, the old maple cupboards came from the kitchen, the knobs from the kitchen before that!
Tiles are leftovers from various projects in two houses. I smashed as little as possible as the 'subway' offcuts seemed so workable.
The plywood and green board base to the counter top are the remainder from the bathroom shower repair. The faucet is new, the sink a dinted $5 find, a Franke no less!
One thing I did not find is my mojo, I hate to toss good usable stuff so this was just thrift tapping on my shoulder!
The shower base will also be a leftover project but the tile saw did not come with me so will have to wait until next Winter.
I finished grouting today but the battery died in the camera.
I know this ain't glass but it's very much an up cycle, you would agree had I remembered to take a photo of the old laundry! It fell apart readily and galloped to the burn pile in short order.

Wow! I think that looks great!! I've only tiled a few mosaic projects. To me, it is a lot of work, but very rewarding after the grout phase. Love the subway tiles mixed with the others. Wonderful job!

Thanks everyone, it's been a pain but I just couldn't throw all that tile away!
Finally got over to the house with a charged camera and sealer.
Now it is done!

Dunno, but I do know I ain't gonna spend another Winter in Kansas!
I might invite a few frozen bodies down for a mosaics seminar! Stained glass an option! The workshop is 24x48 with plenty of parking and free oranges for breakfast!

It looks wonderful Yvonne! You did a great job creating an interesting pattern and I like it very much.
LOL, after our recent 4" of snow and freezing rain...I'm with you about not spending any more of winter in the Northern tier states.
You just let me know when you want to have that mosaics seminar! I'll bring the Champagne and Grenadine (to go along with those oranges) and we'll watch the sun rise!

Thanks again folks.
Audrey, the design came from having 18 pink and 25 blue, the edging was a pile of offcuts as was the yellow and white.
De, I will welcome you any time next Winter! Of course I will probably get back to find it all cracked up and 'orrible. I'm bringing the tile saw down so I can get the shower done from the kitchen floor leftovers!

Thanks for the compliment Jane. I've seen a lot of your work over the years so I hope I've learned something and it holds together! What happened to the Peacock panel?

The peacock panel is finished and hangs in my livingroom window, I love looking at it during different times of the day, it just changes with different light! It took me a long time to finish it, and it is always so amazing how much a person learns...like different glass choices you might make, etc, but I am happy with it. There are 10 wild peacocks who live atr the end of my road, and they are so beautiful right now, some are the usual blue and some are white ones!!! http://www.picturetrail.com/janelewis |
