First Nine Poured Concrete Stepping Stones

Here are the first nine poured concrete stepping stones in my very ongoing project to make pathways around our yard. But, yay!, I am keeping all these, lol.


Wondering how to make stepping stones like this for your yard? I blogged about the how-to here:

All designs are my own. If you make some stones I hope you use the opportunity to also create your own designs.

Stained Glass Mosaic Self Portrait in Black and White

A social networking site for Mosaicists that I belong to had a challenge contest recently to create a mosaic using only black and white. I took up the challenge and tried something else new in the process- a portrait. Never having done one before, I figured I start with me.

Thank you so much to the members for voting my self portrait Members Choice!

All materials are stained glass - pure white for the face/neck area, three other whites for the hair, a textured black for the shirt and two little triangular pieces above the right side shoulder.

This mosaic is part of my personal collection.

I create original design silver jewelry too!!
