For this mosaic, I used coins that I collected from my travels, and some old New Zealand coinage, as well as broken china, off-cuts from our kitchen tiles, and stones from our stone pit which was swallowed up by extensions to our house.
The path has grown slowly over the years. This little section is outside my sewing room window, so I wanted to do something that would look a bit like a quilt. It's a bit rough in places :)
It's a family project...Mr K and Miss Missy have also made their own bits.
A lot of our inspiration has come from the mosaic garden at The Giants House in Akaroa.
We've learnt a lot along the way...some things work better than others... and we are still learning :)
OH what a fabulous idea! I love that you're all getting to add your own bits to the path - what great memories you are creating! I'm going to go and have a look at the link to The Giant's House! Thanks for sharing this!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I hope you come back and have a look at our progress :)
DeleteGreat idea ~ a permanent and practical piece of family history.

ReplyDeleteI love mosaics of any kind ... rustic or otherwise. That's the charm of mosaics -- anything goes. I love your walking path. Such a creative and wonderful idea. Best wishes, Tammy
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing! I have been looking at walls with glass bottles embedded recently. I saw some walkways using the bottles the say way. Looks like stained glass. It would be an awesome addition to your walkway!
