Mosaic planning.......

Time has passed now since my husband did his firewalk.
For those of you that don’t know, this involves walking barefoot over hot charcoal
There was not one blister but his feet were a bit black. Unsurprisingly. He raised loads of money for the hospice I go to. This left both of us feeling proud......him because he did it. Me...... because I married a bad ass!

So, we are a week on from that. And I have no more dare devil antics to report. Unless you count the little Man balancing on the edge of the bed for a story as a dare devil antic.

Many moons ago I made a mosaic for the school I worked at, and I was super pleased with how it turned out, so I thought I would like to make another, for our garden. I’m not sure what
 I’ll do yet, but I’m sure an idea will come to me, and evolve and evolve some more.This is where Pinterest becomes really handy. And so do friends as I put a shout out for any old or odd tiles kicking about in a shed or garage..
Do you know what? Call me a dick, but I want control over the colours I use, the main one being red. As my design evolved into hearts for family members, but sadly not the blonde, super hairy dog. No idea how to represent that in mosaic tile form?😂So anyway I’ve bagged the best man to take me tile hunting/begging/buying.
But first, the incredibly important board buying. It’s an incredibly important, but sort of bland foundation.
There’s two little people that I’m going to make mini individual mosaics for. But there the mind went blank........
