And what happens to the rest of the tea pots?
Why not cut off the spouts and put them into the display?
Very novel and a work of art.

Re: Horray started the mosaicing!!

ahh, I bought and collected lids only and that took some effort..I managed to persuede some china search company that my needs were greater than theirs after spying a box of them on their factory floor...I have teacups so i will be putting the odd handle in there..the lids are like giant nipples, and look really good, I have no plan I'm just doing it as i go along, I never work to plan...
it's the same when I go shopping I never take a list, I'm too impulsive!, ha ha
Today it is absolutely pouring down, but fear not I have my new gazebo up and I WILL be able to crack on...

Re: Horray started the mosaicing!!

That is so beautiful!!

I'll be coming back here for ideas, I can tell you - love the asymetrical shapes and the colours and all the different materials and patterns and and and...

Tell me, are you grouting as you go along? It looks grouted from the pictures, and I've always wondered how you should best organise that on a larger mosaic.

Re: Horray started the mosaicing!!

frances, hiiiiii,
no i'm using adhesive only, then i will attempt to grout it after...urgh i think that will be a very difficult task but as much glue and gunk on it as possible means more protection...if we have a really bad freezy spell like we did this year i will even think about putting some kind of cover over it...glad you like it, i'm enjoying it really really really..the cement based adhesive is called keraflex maxi, by mapei and its nice to use, it doesnt go hard too quickly takes about 4-5 hours till you cant use it..so its good stuff.
