Mosaic Monday - Standalone Sun - WIP

I got these really cool unfinished wooden suns from Etsy last year. They stand on their own which is kinda awesome in my opinion. My only caveat is the wood isn't smooth on the sides. You can see from the second photo here that it wasn't sanded smoothly before it went out to me. I did try to smooth the sides but it wasn't easy and maybe why the person who makes these didn't do it. That's okay for my purposes because I have a lot of ribbon and twine and a hot glue gun ... and I know how to use them! 😁

The plan for these three: one will have a mosaic, one a dot painting and the third a collage. All have been painted turquoise.

I'm hoping once this one is grouted the weight won't shift and make it imbalanced. Fingers crossed! 🤞






Aren't these glass colors pretty? Sky blue, yellow and orange. I also added mirror (of course) so there's a little bit of reflective light going on as well.

For now, it's resting in the "to be grouted" pile. I'm not sure when I'll grout them but it'll definitely be with black. I'm hoping maybe before the end of the month before the pile gets much higher. 😏

 

Enjoy the journey.
