Mirror Mirror on the Wall - Mosaic

This is one of those projects that I've wanted to do for a long time.   My friend Michelle gave me the mirrors.   I purchased a 2 x 2 exterior grade plywood and had some scrape boards for the frame piece.  

 The above is scrape wood.  

 2 x 2 piece framed and spray painted with several coats of gloss black.

 Straight on view.   I love the black grout. 

 

Finished piece and ready to hang.  I did seal the grout.  I will hang it outside so I can see it from my kitchen window.

 

I would like to thank  Brenda Brink for her help in finding the correct grout.   She was featured in Cloth Paper Scissors Spring 2010 magazine Studios.   The piece on you,  Brenda,  was very inspirational. 

Ceramic Mosaics

I have been dabbling in ceramics for about 4 years now. Over the course of those years, I've made a few things that didn't work out quite right and they have found other uses. I also went through a stage of writing inspiring words on the clay. I decided they would make a great collage piece. I got the box built and arranged the pieces absolutely perfect. One morning I found them all laying on the floor. I imagine a cat jumped on the board and upset everything. After many attempts at getting the arrangement back, I finally took it all off again and just threw it together and I loved it.
