Mosaic works in progress

Here is my current mosaic work in progress, sitting on a lazy susan for easy turning. I was using this clay pot upsidedown on my porch as a plant stand. I am using thinset to apply the glass, but I don't trust the cheap clay pot ($12 at Biglots) out for winter, so I will keep it as a plant stand on my porch.
My concept is a luna moth on a tree trunk, and on the back of the tree a little birch tree grows. I'm going to mosaic a saucer and attach it to the top, not sure how that will fit with the theme, maybe just cover it with leaves.

And here are some bricks that my friend Susan and I mosaicked to go into the corners of a planter in our downtown. I call them, Bright Lights Big City Rubicks Cube

  2. I love the bricks and I'm sure the plant stand will be beautiful when it's finished. Some day I'm going to get into mosaics....some day..

  3. Hi there
    I haven't seen bricks like that before and they do look like the big city. The mosaic pot is going to be lovely. Great job...and I'll be back to see it when its finished.
    enjoy..

  4. Thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting--I was so happy to find your fun blog. I came across the "ten minutes a day" idea as "writing your dissertation in 15 minutes a day" and it's a good way of getting motivated. Love your mosaics (the lamp turned out so well). Wish I could find glass tiles at a reasonable price. Until then, I'll have to use wall tiles--but I'm not complaining! Love your yard art. I look forward to following your projects!
    best, nadia
