Mosaic Art

Just sharing the fact that I'm not a one dimensional crafter!!!! LOL
I restored the table below, the legs were rusty, dirty, ugly and the glass top had crumbled into tiny pieces. (it was super boring in brown tiles) .  Brown is not a colour in my colour wheel.!!
I decided to sand it down, paint the legs and base with copper(ish) bronze (ish) paint  (with mega help from my husband) and change the top to a quilty mosaic.  So I am one dimensional!!
Cannot get away from the quilt in me......

It was a fun diversion from all of my quilting.  Just thought I'd share.  So much better to restore and reuse than buy again.  I'm super proud of how it turned out.
I used  Le Page Poly Fill Pre mixed grout found here.  Mosaic glass tiles found here , Goop glue found here (to glue the tiles)  It took about 3 days. 

How I did it?
  1. Layed out my glass tiles ( on a prepared for outdoors wood platform)
  2. Glued the tiles down with Goop (please use gloves when applying)
  3. Let them dry overnight
  4. Grouted with Poly Filla White premixed grout (gloves needed for this)
  5. Let it dry  overnight
  6. Sprayed marine varnish over the top of all my tiles. (spray can I had kicking around at home) *You will want a non yellowing outdoor varnish*
  7. Let it dry several hours.
  8. Voila, admire!
*The last outdoor border were tiles (3/4") I got from Habitat Restore *
