My mom and stepdad and sister were here for two weeks from the States and I taught my mom to do the mosaics I’ve been learning. First we handpaint the plate glass, then cut it into the desired size and shape, and then use it for mirror frames, boxes and any number of things we decided to use it on. It was fun.
The other thing I’ve been up to? Isn’t he cute?

Ooh, I love BOTH! How old is Camo (sp?)?
Camo is three months old.
So he has some growing (and chewing) left to do.
Well, you have been BUSY. 🙂
And now I’m tired. 🙂
How adorable
and
How adorable!
How long does it take you to make a mirror like that?
Thanks! It takes about five hours if you count the time it takes to paint the glass. But I usually paint up a bunch of glass and then use pieces of it in different projects.
Oh! They are both wonderful!
Thank you! I’m hoping the dog becomes more and more wonderful as the days go by. He’s cute but will be even cuter when he’s trained. 🙂
Oh! They are both wonderful!
I didn’t know you were crafty!The puppy is adorable but– I didn’t know you were crafty! Just how to you handpaint plate glass? Is this a Brazilian hand craft?
Have you ever considered an online tutorial!?!
It’s not particularly Brazilian. It’s basically just straight mosaic art, with the additional step of painting the glass. You just use glass paint and then paint all kinds of colors and designs and then learn to cut it into the desired shapes and sizes. It looks a little more unique than regualr mosaic because each of the individual tiles are unique.
Wow, the mirror is gorgeous! And the little guy is pretty cute, too. 😉
Thanks, Jill!

Ooo, I like mosaics. Very nice. And the puppy. Yay!
Thanks! He’s definitely all puppy still!
Oh lovely mosaic and adorable puppy! Yes, they are much cuter once they are trained!
Yep. We’re still working on it.
Very pretty!!!
Thanks! I love your cute little Princess Peepers too.
Kristy!
That’s gorgeous. I’ve made mosaic stuff, but I’ve never painted the glass myself.
And the puppy is a love.
The puppy is becoming more and more of a love as the days go by. He’s very trainable. I’m just not sure how to gauge how much freedom I should give him yet.
OMG
What a CUTIE!
