So my Mom had an idea for a cool (Grand)Mother's day present--a homemade mosaic stepping stone out of all the dishes we kids have broken over the years (my Mom collects blue and white china, so there was already a color scheme in place). We bought the stone mix and the molds at the craft store, so all we had to do was finish smashing up the plates. I have to say this was my favorite part, not because I was so good at it, but because I love breaking things--especially when I'm supposed to. This is our full mold and broken peices, pre-assembly.
They were super fun and easy to make--we just pressed the peices into the top of the wet cementy-like stuffs, leaving a enough cement-space between the china pieces to hold them in.
Voila! Here are the final products, still in the drying phase:
Super cute! Just like the toad we found . . .
Rrrrrrrribit! (Do toads say "ribit", or just frogs?)
Handmade mosaics are really cool. That's really clever to use your own dishes- gives it even more personality. d^_^b
