I love mosaics!! and i love this thread! thanks for the inspirations, all
i keep broken earthenware, glasses, bowls, etc... especially if they have sentimental value (like my grandmother's ceramics that broke) to make mosaics, but so far all i've done are 2 clay pots that hold house plants. i did not grout (cuz i thought naked looked really cool), but occasionally a piece falls off...
i use tile pieces, shells, costume jewelry parts and pieces... really anything that tickles me... especially if it sparkles...
i saw a huge mosaic at a museum in washington dc that inspired me a few years ago... it was made of everything but the kitchen sink! game pieces, toys, all kindsa stuff.
i love seaglass!!! love it! i would mosaic my whole house in seaglass if i had a huge free pile of it
