Mosaic Makeovers

 

We tried out a couple of more mosaic projects around the house (mainly the garden) in the last couple of months. 

Added these hand-cut flowers to a broken cement pot to turn it into a cactus rockery.

Created a blue heart on a stone slab to commemorate 2020, the year of the nasty pandemic that has taken the world by storm. 

This blue heart mosaic stands in our front garden as a mark of thankfulness to all the frontline workers in the middle of these unprecedented times.

Hope our wish for a happier, healthier world comes true soon.

Garden Slab Mosaic

This month we finally finished our first mosaic project. Gave a colourful makeover to a dull, grey concrete slab lying around the front garden, turning it into a pretty stepping stone instead.

Now this is no ordinary mosaic. It contains contributions from 3 generations - the pink pieces belong to a tea set my mother received on her wedding, the other coloured pieces have come out of broken and damaged ceramic crockery from my kitchen, while the square tiles on the edging were collected by my children from our previous home when they were younger. This coming together of 3 generations is what makes this piece of mosaic really special!!!

The mosaic tile now sits right in front of the children's bedroom window, under the papaya tree, nestling amidst the greens and blooms.

Love how we turned something ordinary to something special. We've got just one life; live inspired, I say!
