From The Studio - Wednesday

Happy Wednesday!!

I've gotten the surprise mosaic I was working on, grouted and gifted!

This was a broken wine glass that said "Happy Birthday" in bright and colorful letters.

You can see more photos from the previous Wednesday's post here.

Bright orange grout to pick up the colors in the lettering was used.

I was very pleased to be able to get all the lettering of "Happy Birthday" on this cute little sphere.

The base is the bottom of the broken wine glass and I added some wooden beads to the top.

On the table now are 4 pastel colored dishes shaped like a flower. Each one is getting the mosaic treatment. With some help from my oldest daughter's step daughter - Asuka, who comes up to work with me on occasion for a few hours during the weekends when she's here, we're getting them finished quickly. We're adding tempered glass and clear glass 1/2 circles on the dishes.

This is the one I'm working on.

This is the one Asuka is working on.

She doesn't have a lot of experience with mosaics, but she's taken to it easily. I enjoy spending time with her and sharing some of what I do with her.

We each have 1 more to work on after these are finished. Then grouting! Of course!!

Last week I mentioned I was going to use black grout on the large candle holder I made (photo below) but I've since changed my mind. I'm going to use grey grout. I still want the drama but I don't want it too severe. It'll be in a room that has a grey lamp in it, so I thought that would be a nice complementary choice.
