WIP Wednesday - Swiriling Moon Amethyst and Patchwork Peace Sign

I've got two mosaics to share today. The Swirling Moon Amethyst is grouted in pretty plum grout. I think it's ready for the peace sign signature charm to be added and some photos for listing on Etsy.

The Patchwork Peace Sign I shared yesterday was finished within an hour. I love working on peace signs but I also love how they are a quick project for me, most of the time. It's satisfying to see the results so quickly too. Instant gratification!

The flowers aren't yet attached. I'll glue them in place once the mosaic is grouted in black. It will make these colors pop!

WIP Wednesday - Swirling Moon - Ready for Grout!

I'm pretty happy with the results of this mosaic. It's in the grout pile and should be grouted at some point over the weekend.

When the sun was shining as I worked on this, the iridescent colors in the glass came through very nicely.

This is one of those mosaics that looks so much better in person. Hopefully I'll get photos when I list it that will do it justice.

I'll share it again when it's listed. Isn't it pretty?!

 It's early in the process of this mosaic, so there's only one photo to share. However, it is a beauty.

Look at those colors. The blending of the light purple, pinkish color and the iridescent pieces so far is very nice. I think this will be mostly feminine, perhaps for a teens room or even an adult who loves these colors and celestial designs. I had no idea when I started how it would look but so far, even though it's only just begun, I love it.

I'll share more on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter during the week. Hop on over and check those sites out to see the progress daily. Meanwhile, here on the blog, I'll share the work-in-progress on Wednesday.

Enjoy the moments!

Tesserae Tuesday - Swirling Moon

 After a lot of thought and contemplation on what color to use for this moon, I settled on soft purples and lilacs. Mostly because I had a lot of small scraps that would work for it. I like these color combos and I think it'll work really well.

Of course, mirror will fill in the swirly bits. I love using mirror. It helps make the magic happen!

Here is a good shot of the colors I'll use, along with my newest mug from naturallife.com. It's a VW bus with the words: "Follow your heart" on the inside. This morning it was filled up with pumpkin pie spice hazelnut coffee. I added the spice myself. Mmmm coffee.

So there you have it. The tess I'll use and the work-in-progress so far. Tomorrow I'll share more progress for this quick little mosaic which will be headed to Etsy as soon as it's grouted!

WIP Wednesday - Swirling Moon

There's a good chance this mosaic will be in my shop within the next month. So far, I've got the design on it but am not yet clear on the colors I'll use. I know the swirls will be iridescent or mirror. That's the easy part.

I didn't get a photo of it, but the way I add a hole to MDF when I need one is by using a screw eye (a screw with a circle at one end) because I don't have a drill. It takes a little patience but it works.
