I've made a few frames, like the one on the right. It's made from dishes - both new and vintage. That's what takes the most time, collecting dishes and other fun things to use in mosaics. I included a few marbles and beads in this one too.
A friend who works in ceramics told me that there are discarded pots when a kiln is emptied. I collected a few of those last week and got going on this pot.
I haven't applied grout yet so it will look different when it's finished ... I'll finish it up this week.
These look great. I used to save all my broken dishes, but finally gave the boxes away. I did bring them along on my last move (16 years ago) and marked the box, "Fragile, Broken Dishes." It took awhile before I got the irony.
ReplyDeleteoh that is too funny. i used to save them too! but that is no surprise, we are thrifty folks. good to hear from you, as always.
ReplyDeletep.s. breaking dishes is VERY fun.
ReplyDeleteYou did a very cool mosaic pot! Yeah we do always have some broken pottery and we just add it to clay, though I sometimes take some pretty pieces to do some mosaic at home)
