My creation a little  strange perhaps but had fun ..
Some of the creations from last nights class ..they are fab but still need grouted.  These were completed in 2 hrs but folk can add other meaningful additions at home .I have seen all sorts of fun and funky items added lipsticks,beads,words etc. to personalise even further. Great craft for those that like to hold onto things but never quite find the right project to use them in.Guilty your Honour!!

Pique Assiette















A finished piece can't wait to see what the other folk create. I just love this little saucer in the middle we used it for ages in the shop for tea and coffee but it got a chip so what better way to re use it..

Getting set up for Mosaicing workshop tonight or Pique Assiette ( plate thief) as this kind of mosaicing with crockery ,old plates etc.. is called .Should be fun as long as folks don't get too upset about breaking things!! me I find it quite therapeutic, especially when you are up cycling and hopefully creating something quirky and unique.
