Em's Mosaic Pot #2


I finally got onto the other pot I have had sitting around waiting to be mosaic-ed. I did the first one last year. I stuck with the seaside theme to match the other pot and used mainly blues again. I had to source more crockery from the op shop and added red but also used some tiles and crockery that featured in the first pot. I had collected white shells while on holidays on North West Island, which I also used in the mosaic. I was worried they might look tacky but they turned out really well. I had planned a while ago to do a found object mosaic but found it difficult to source enough things that worked but still had a little blue lighthouse that matched so stuck him on one side. Can you spot it? After brainstorming on Pinterest, I decided to do a palm tree, sea-horse, thongs/flip flops and a sailing boat. My favourite are the thongs.. and the sea-horse..

Em's Fireman Sam and KISS Bookmark


Well further to my previous post on the Wicked Witch of the East bookmark I have created more of my own bookmarks with polymer clay based on ideas from 'My Bookmark' Etsy page. I love them! This one I did for my cousin who is a firefighter. I couldn't think of anything interesting or witty to put on the bookmark part. Then I thought, Fireman Sam! He turned out great! I also made some Kiss boots with silver glitter. :( I still think the Wicked Witch of the East is the best and made another of those for Christmas presents.
