My tray

This morning I saw a workshop of a breakfast tray from Juli at:http://miniaturebyjuli.blogspot.com/
That reminded my of a table I did some mosaic on, some time ago.



I had to start my old computer to find the pictures of it!



Here are some details.

At that time, I thought it would be nice to make a workshop of it........
I did made the pictures............. but I never finished the workshop........

But I will share it with you with the pica's that I do have:

* It starts with eggshells, wash them and then paint in the colors you like, sometimes its better to do a couple of layers.

* Then add glossy varnish on them and let dry. Then break the shells into very tiny pieces.
I took a ready tray and painted in a matching color,


* Draw a design, think of a simple decor,



* Then start with puzzle the shells in to your decor,



* It looks no good, but it will be better,







* If your decor is ready, you can fill the background with a mathing color, try to fill every space,





* This is what it looks like

And then I did not take pictures of the finished tray.......

I've searched, but I can not find it, I can't remember where I put it.....
But with the pica's I have it must be a peace of cake! ;)

* You can now cover it with grout, be sure it is very fine, better you sifting and use only the fine grout. Gypsum powder is what I used.

I hope it is a bit obvious, Google helped me with translation, but he gives not always the word I'm looking for.
If you have any questions you can always mail me or leave a message.

Hope you like it and you will try sometime,

see you again!
