It's Thursday again and we all know what that means.... THEME THURSDAY.
I was really excited about this one when it was announced - but now I'm struggling to come up with something to say.
Last week I posted my jar of glass pieces that Anthony and I have collected the last few weeks from the beach.
I decided that today I'll share what my plan is for these pieces.
Most of them are brown and green so I thought it would be fun to make a mosaic out of them for Christmas. I'm going to try and do a Christmas tree and then use the white pieces (and the few other colors we found) for ornaments and such.
Of course it won't be as skilled as something like this:
Empress Theodora Wall Mosaic from the San Vitale Ravenna, Italy (526 - 547 AD)
But who knows? Maybe it will turn out to look nice. Nice enough for me anyway.

I love mosaics! I remember in grade school when we made them with colored tissue paper, I always loved that.
Your project is going to be lovely, I can tell by your other projects.
We must all have ambitions. As a matter of fact, I have a half formed one myself of making such a mosaic, but likely not as splendid.
I remember when I was young, I cannot remember the exact age, I made a mosaic out of dried food. Such as beans, lentils, popcorn to name a few. It was of a horse and I won something for it at school. We hung it on a wall and years later we noticed it had something moving in it. Ugh, the worms had invaded. So, a glass mosaic would be the way to go. It will last forever and never have things moving in it and eating it.
I do hope that you will take some pictures of the process, so we can see how it is going.
Oh, and you can never have too many cat pictures. I miss my dog, but now I love my cats. My cat Joey sits by my feet while I am on my laptop. The only thing is if he wants attention he bites my feet. Sometimes it hurts. But I still love him anyway.
Great post, and thanks for stopping by.
Ooh, I hope you do make a mosaic. What a good idea!
Hi Kels- That sounds like a great idea- a Christmas tree would be fine. I think mosaics are amazing- but need a lot of patience!
I like the look of that.
Hey sorry this is a little late, I've been busy and this is the first time that I've gotten on in a while but yeah, I'll be happy to follow and contribute to your blog.

It's animals this TT, funny my first thought was my cats, but I am thinking that will be yours for some reason. I hope we get a lot of cat pictures from you. They are great. I'm thinking of whales.
