Project Process!

Okay I know I've been changing my mind ALOT lately about the Mosaic project and all! but I ended up doing a Stepping Stone that is all buttons! I think it looks really cool :) I just finished putting in the Cement today and it is now in the Kilm or however its spelt as we speak, it should be ready by tomorrow by the end of the day and I will post pictures of how it looks before i Grout it and everything and than I will post pictures of the complete end results when its all done :)

During the button adding process, The process of getting the buttons to stick to the paper was a little complicated because I guess I didn't cut it quite right so one end was a little too big so when I was half way through getting the buttons done, some parts started sticking up and wouldn't stay in place so that a little bit frustrating for me, But I did manage to get it good looking enough by the time I had added the cement.
During the cement process, that had to be the easiest part because well it took a little bit to get the cement to the right consistency and all but that was no problem :3

I did have fun with this project because there was no special pattern to my Stepping Stone, no neatness, no worry about perfection, just a big buttony messy mess. The way I like my art :) I like to make my Art as different and as weird as I possibly can because I don't like my art to look the same as everyone else's, I like to be different and for my art to really stick out! :) Appeal to someone, so my Stepping Stone is just a big mess of Small, Medium, Large buttons of all shapes and colors and I think its going to look cool :) I hope so. I'll keep you guys updated! <3

Mosaic Project Progress!

Okay well everybody remembers when I blogged about my Mosaic Idea and how I had everything planned out & how I had to change my first idea because people in my class had taken all of my supplies at the last minute and I had to change my plan to the Bottle thing.
Well I am in the process of doing the Bottle Project and it is NOT going as well as I had hoped it would go, I tried using the glue and putting some buttons and stained glass pieces on the bottle but they would not stay in place, the pieces kept falling off and it was just a TERRIBLE mess, so im not sure if i should keep trying to make the pieces stick to the bottle or if i should just try it on something else -___-
This process is VERY frustrating and hard to work with, i did not expect this.    Im hoping things will go well.

Mosaic Project! (NEW!)

As most of you remember, I was planning on doing something like this for my Mosaic Project:
But.... sadly, that did not work out like I had planned, I had spent a class with 6 different containers filled with 6 different colored beads, buttons and other things for the color sorting like int hat picture that I would have ended up doing, but the next day when I had come to class, some girls in my class had taken those containers and used those to finish their art project! -.-  was a VERY big let down so I had to end up changing my project.. :( So now what I plan on doing for it is THIS!:
I found this on Pintrest and i absolutely LOVED it!, I brought a glass bottle from home and I am going to cover that with these materials and give it a try! :3 I am VERYY excited to see how my end results turn out to be and how the entire process goes in general.   But yeah, this is my NEW Mosaic Art Project and I will keep everybody updated on how it goes! :)
