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!

Printies

*

I have nothing to show you for now and Nuri is looking for some wallpaper, preferably with flowers. I did check my printies.
Some of them need some costumize/smaller perhaps, then you copy a whole page full and you have your wallpaper.

Make sure the printer is on highest quality and use good paper.

This paper is also great for making boxes and shoppingbags.

You can also print on fabric, so you'll have matching curtains and pillows.

So have fun, * marlies

printies

I just searched my prints and I saw many prints you can use on the jugs, I thought I'll put some on my blog to share with you,

maybe they need some reduced, you have to try. You can print these on white or creme paper or on transfer paper. You can buy that in a good bookstore with office supplies.

Hope you have fun with these!
