I've been wanting to make a mosaic china heart for a
Valentine's Day project.
I bought a porcelain heart last year and then I dropped it and it broke in half.
When I looked through all my things for Valentine's, I came across it again and thought why not glue it together.
I've been collecting china plates and had the perfect one for this project.
I had some pink paint for the background.
First, I cut the pieces with tile cutters.
Always use protective glasses and gloves.
I figured out where I wanted the china pieces to go.
I painted the heart and let it dry for about 30 minutes.
Then, I glued down the pieces with Adhesive Grout,
let it dry for about 1 hour.
Filled in the heart with the Adhesive Grout and added white pearls.
It's a easy project for the Winter months.
I found some cute garden boots today at Target.
With all the rain we had in San Diego, they were perfect.
I also put my name down on a list at Anthropologie to get Free Christmas trees after the holiday.
They called and I picked them up and will
use them this coming Christmas!!
It was a cold rainy week in San Diego.
So, I bought a Paris coloring book to past the time.
It is illustrated by Zoe De Las Cases,

ReplyDeleteCalifornia really needs the rain so it is welcome, but hopefully we get a big snowpack in the mountains where we will get a slow melt. Great boots. I love what you did with the heart.

ReplyDeleteYour heart is so cute! I love that coloring book too. When I was young I loved nothing better than to have a new box of crayolas and a coloring book. Maybe I need to pick up coloring again. :-)

Hi Jody,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the feature; what a sweet surprise!
Your mosaic heart, the culmination of creativity and crafty pieces is very pretty, as are your new, cheery rubber boots! I used to love colouring as a little girl, and now, wouldn't you know, it has made a comeback for me as an adult. Ha!
Have a wonderful week ahead!
Hugs,
Poppy
I love doodling and coloring in my doodles, but I don't make enough time for it.
ReplyDeleteThese rainy days, I really need to set aside some time.
