Mosaic done and plant label preview

Check out Lit and Laundry's Finished for Friday to see other projects!

I grouted the mosaic that I made in a class: Charcoal grout. Dh made the frame for me out of left over porch skirt spindles.

And here is a preliminary pic of some plant labels I'm making for the landscape project at a local shelter. I'll do a tutorial when I'm done making them. (all 26 with stakes!)

  4. Oh your mosaic came out great! I can't wait to see the post about the plant markers. I have been trying to come up with some ideas for making some for our mint garden.

  5. Mosaics have been on my list too for a while. I even have a stack of old chipped plates I intend to break and use. *someday* I love how yours turned out! Thanks so much for linking up to Finished for Friday! Have a great weekend.

  8. That's a beautiful mosaic. You have such creative talent! I also like the plant labels. They look like they are ceramic?

    Thanks for visiting me, Kathy. I hope you do post your flowering shrub (can't remember the name at the moment)

    ;~)

  9. I've never made a mosaic, but I've always wanted to. I think I"ll have to take a class to get motivated. Yours is beautiful, Kathy!

  10. Your mosaic is so beautiful! I like the charcoal grout. Nice choice. I am also anxious to see the tutorial soon. Good for you volunteering at the shelter's garden.

    Kathy, are you going to hang the mosaic? I made one some time ago, but I've just got it leaning against a spare corner in the basement. The dog gone thing is so heavy -- I hesitate to hang it on a wall!

  13. Hi! Thanks for stopping by my blog and for your sweet comments on the birds. I'm glas that I found your blog! We have a few things in common, gardening, crafting and the Craft Robo! I have seen many posts of people using their Cricut or the like, but yours is the first for a Robo! My hubby is an electrician, I will have to check out his stash! These are some of the nicest plant markers that Ihave seen! Great tutorial too!
