About 4 or 5 years ago I wanted to start making bits & pieces mosaics, but between no studio space and looking after a pre-schooler and going to work it didn't happen. But I did begin breaking and collecting ceramics.
Two moves later, all those bits an pieces made it to my current home. And I built an outdoor work bench in the shade of several pine trees using scraps of lumber, furniture pieces, a hammer and a drill.
This new "studio" gets covered with leaves in the fall, snow in the winter, mud in the spring and bugs in the summer - but it works! If you break a plate, bring it on over.
When making mosaics, I arrange the pieces using tile adhesive, apply grout and sand the piece, seal the grout, cover it all in shellac - and ta-da! Art for you. Check my etsy shop to see peices that are currently for sale.
