Too Many Things On The Go!

Nothing goes to plan does it, well not in my life!  I have made a few mosaics but still haven't grouted them, they are waiting in a very patient queue at the moment but time is getting on and I must, as they say, get around to it!  I have just been asked by a friend to do a flower mosaic for her Gran to go outside so this is the first picture of a basic idea.  I have photographed it outside just now to see how the colours look in the sunshine....yes, don't faint...sunshine has actually arrived here in Cornwall after a week or two...we have been having very yukky mists for a while.  I am going to add a small blue butterfly to this design as well and maybe some mirror to bring it to life.  I only have a week to do this in so I am going to be busy.  With a mosaic that is going outside onto slate, I shall use a cement based adhesive and then grout it afterwards.  All the materials will weather well in the frosts but in really bad conditions, it is probably best to protect or bring inside.
