Hello my lovelies, thought I'd show the tile I made for my DB it's going in the post tomorrow, it's not perfect but my redneck brother will like it LOL...
I made this a few months ago, with inks and stamps, on water color paper, it's was quite large, after I cut it down, I decided to cut it up and make a big tile out of it, I cover them with 7 coats of podge..
I cut all the pieces, glued 1/4 in cardboard on the back of each piece to give it depth, glued them to a board, grouted it with colored molding paste I mixed up with some water colors..
Don't ask me how it ended up with a piece out of place, so trying to frame it shesh I tried everything I had, I ended up wrapping jute around it 6 times with hot glue, you can still see the crooked piece..
Since he's a woodsy guy, I added some twigs on top, it's still a little wonky but that's okay, I like the natural elements...
Thanks for visiting my nest, I've done my tag for the new challenge at the dragons den, I'll post it later still have to take photo's of it, then back to my box, that went on the back burner while I had to make the tag, you all know when you get in the flow you have to go with it... ((( BIG HUGS )))
NAMASTE !!!!

Dianne...this is a very cool idea! I love that you created your own mosaic look with paper and cardboard then added a "grout". That is very clever indeed! Thank you so much for your always lovely comments on my blog. YOU make me fee so good and so smart when it comes to creating! haha I love your enthusiasm for my projects. YOU know how to make someone's day! Enjoy your weekend!<3 Candy
I so agree with Candy! You always make my day with your comments, dear Magpie cousin! And I'm sure you'll make your DB's day with this! It's such a wonderful celebration of Nature. These tiles remind me of the British Arts and Crafts Movement tiles created by folks like William Morris. The colours are superb and it's so full of joyous movement. I can't see the out of place piece at all; it all looks wonderful. Julie Ann xxx
Fabulous Dianne! You have transformed the original beautifully! Chrisx
Your mind is just so CREATIVE my friend! LOVE the mosaic with the grout and how you wrapped the jute around it 6 times! Fabulous creation for an outdoor guy!
It's always a pleasure to fly in and nest with you a while Ms. Magpie Dianne! Your work is always stunning! I think Redneck Bro is going to swoon in his waders over this awesome tile outdoor scene you have created using paper and cardboard and even faux grout. Genius!!
Thank you for all the love you leave me at the Playhouse! I appreciate you!! Mwah! Have a great week!! Hugs, Darnell
As someone very wise once said, "embrace imperfection"... it's those little quirks that give a piece its personality, and this has got that in heaps. A wonderful creation, full of creativity, love and care, and I'm sure your brother will love it.
