mosaic

[xthisisnotatest.livejournal.com]

so i just thought id post some pictures of a couple of mosaic pieces ive done.
the first picture is of a plain timber framed kitchen blackboard. i used pieces of tile that i smashed myself, they cost about 70 cents for each tile, it ended up costing me about 20 dollars to do the whole project, the price of the blackboard included in that. i used terracotta coloured grout. i tried to do somewhat of a pattern with this one.

the second pic is a star shaped mirror for my little sisters room. it was just a timber frame with the mirror inside, i painted it yellow and used bright smashed tiles and baby blue grout.
