The World of Dance Mosaic

I wanted to do ballet shoes on pointe in the typical first position but make it a little more interesting. Adding the globe was the first step and it gave me more of the rich colors that I normally use. The second step was coming up with a background. I thought about doing planets or solid black but in the end decided on the cobalt blue with stars. I have to admit that this is my favorite mosaic that I have made so far.

I Glued Some More Stuff Together

This is my Chinese restaurant collage I guess. You can't really see it in the picture, but I included a whole bunch of my fortune cookie fortunes on the different colored tiles. My cabinet of random stuff is finally emptying out. What I have been trying to do is use up all of my old art supplies before I am allowed to buy any new ones.

I had a whole bunch of rocks and crystals and stuff leftover from other projects and I went kind of nuts gluing them on this old cabinet door. The dragon or dinosaur is a Krystonia figurine that was broken when I received it and so I was quite happy to find a use for it.

Island Stained Glass Mosaic

This is a mosaic that I gave away. I learned a lot making this one. I originally used white grout. Unfortunately, I used red cloths to wipe it down and so the white grout turned pink. Not like a pale pink but like Pepto Bismol pink. Anyway, I learned that watered down black grout is capable of dyeing messed up grout.
