Mosaic Fireplace

I said that Steph and I were being creative with old china plates. The cake stand was just the start of it. Our main project has been tiling the fireplace in the living room with a mosaic of smashed crockery.

It was great fun to do and I love the end result. So much nicer than the nondescript brown tiles that were there before. It was also a frugal makeover as Steph found the plates as a job lot and they cost less than new tiles from B&Q would have done.

Steph has gone back home to Sunderland now with my young nephew and niece and I miss them already.

Aren't my daughters clever? They must get it from me or their Mum. (I know which one I'm betting on!)

Mel - I'd thought of a similar project, making a table top mosaic out of all smashed plates etc (I'm still collecting them so maybe I should just buy a job lot and smash them up!). Looks smashing!

Where are you based, John? I've got a bunch of them left over.

John, they weren't bought new, they were all from charity shops, and I just got lucky in one of them, getting a big a batch of willow pattern plates.

Wow, that is gorgeous! I love it. It must feel very good to have created that for your home!

Um.. how did you do it? I'd like to do something with some old china and this looks stunning. :)

Looks fab - most impressed! Er, did you light the fire just for the photograph? ;-)

Looks fab. Reminds me of Gaudi's great work in the Parc Guelle in Barceolona.

Hi Mel, good mosaic, it reminded me that in our last house I did a splashback mosiac of an Alfred Wallis painting in our downstairs loo. It took ages to create and I had forgotten all about it.
