I just found out that "Frank" the wonderful shop in Los Gatos, California from a few posts back, is going to carry my mosaics!!!! I am very excited!!!
So excited, in fact, that I've already boxed up my first shipment. That funky wooden piece above that I found last weekend at the River Market Antique Mall did not sit in the studio for long.
And I made another switch plate with the great prisms I got from
Anna!
Got the aspirin tin last weekend, also, at a fun yard sale.
And I love using these old-school beaded earrings. They remind me of my Grandma Velma.
I'm already brewing the next batch o' mosaic goodness. More switch plates and another frame. I have a cake dome I think I'll do soon and of course, there is always a bird house to be made. Thanks, Jas, for my new laptop! Now I can post any time I want and not have to worry about hogging your machine.
And below is a pick of the back of the frame. I love paper with the old timey advertisements.
And I hadn't done a chalkboard for a really long time. They are time consuming and kind of expensive to make considering the cost of boards and magnets.
I may have gotten the little fishy chalk holder in St. Joe.
This board is smaller than average and the "Made in Portugal" is wood burned into the back.
And this double switch plate is made with a shoe clip. Shoe clips are cool. Why did people stop using them? I feel the same way about false eyelashes.
And here's a preview of part of an ungrouted frame. I'll explain later this week why it's very special.
And the recipe box is an upcoming project. I think "good eats" says it all. There are still people who covet their hand written recipe cards and this will be a handy place to keep them.
