Blank canvas. Plastic no less.
Glued the same tile until I couldn’t see straight. Hoped for the best.
Perfectly Perky!

The HeART of Handmade Gifts II
It takes more time to come up with a mosaic tile design than it does to glue it down.
Problem is the materials (go through your junk drawers and jewelry boxes) change as you go along … some pieces make the cut … others will not. This is not the time to get discouraged.
If I’m on a roll and the pieces are falling into place … it takes me about an hour to glue a single light switch cover.
If I’m not on a roll … I’ve already started gluing something else.
The gypsy quote is a pendant that I’ve had since high school … and it went from there.
added a little iridescent tile and a purple glass heart …
Going to glue ball and chain to the outer edge, after the grout dries.
Maybe you should too.
All you need is …
- Heavy plastic light switch cover 69¢
- Family Mementoes, Vintage China and Treasures that are lurking in drawers, cupboards and closets
- Buy some fun #tiles and glass shapes
- Weldbond or E6000 Adhesive
- Tile Nipper and Safety Glasses
Setting Up Shop
If someone had asked me how many mosaic tile supplies there are in my studio, my answer would have been 2 maybe 300 variations of tile and glass.
Well, our Etsy shop just reached our 100th item (whew!) and I haven’t even nicked the surface.
I’m finding that the most difficult thing about posting on Etsy is going through the motions to post an item only to realize that I’m not ready to part with it.
Release.
Relinquish.
