Many months ago I saw a photo on a mosaic site of some beautiful mosaics done on old frying pans. I can't find the mosaic site but knowing how helpful gardeners are, I wondered if anyone here can tell me where to find those photos.
Hi Maddy, You might want to try the garden junk forum on the US section (got to gardenweb home page), I usually find heaps of mosaic stuff on there! Give us a yell if you need any help on how to do it, I have done a glass light shade, you know the ones that look like bowling balls. It looks great!!! Cheers, Mel...
G'day Maddy, Mosaics is a craft/hobby that whilst if you had a few lessons is would be helpfull, but you could also go to any good library and find a selection of books on the subject, then you could make your own "object de frypan" for your garden. You can use all manner of materials - tiles, glass, china, old beads and small bric-a-brac it is only limited by your imagination. But a warning - it is a little bit contagious - before long you will find all manner of discarded items to get a second life by using mosaics. Should you take up the challenge post a blog as I may be able to give you some tips
Oh hi Pam! Gee, I have a photo of it somewhere!!! I can't find it at the moment, and seen as I've moved 4 hrs north, I can't just nip outside and take a piccy of it as it's still at my old house. I will find the photo though because I am quite proud of it as my first piece. Stay tuned... Mel....
