My son had some boat bottom paint so I picked the blue and green and went with that. Time will tell if it holds up. I have a large spindle that I could use, if I widdle on the end to fit in the plug hole. As suggested a piece of pipe would work too. I like the idea of the table, that would look better in the open spot I want to put this. I could change the place and set it among the tall flowers if I use a pipe.

My latest project ~ Mirror in Kitchen

I love the mirror and its frame, but its not my first choice for that space. My first thought was to get one of those faux type looking stone wall sculptures....that might not be the right name. They are usually and inch or 2 thick, made out of resin, but looks like plaster. They are sold like art. Here is something at Ballard Design, I dont know how to post the picture so here is the website http://www.ballarddesigns.com/Wall-Decor/Paintings-Prints/Whimsical-Prints/Individual%20Stones%20of%20Florence%20GiclÃ©%3Be/p/6362?code=SHOPZ07 Its not that I like these from Ballard, its just to show the idea. I really liked the iron scroll idea too. Another thought is a framed print. There are tuns of framed art that have that kitchen flair to them....that fat cartoon looking waiter, fruit, roosters, etc. I see those items better suited in that spot than the mirror. Did you ever consider faux painting a stone pattern for your backsplash? When I googled stone art to post a picture, I saw some DYI Learn to faux paint stone. Kind of neat.

Poll. Do you all buy tile for a particular project OR??

I started out buying for each project. Then after a while you start to build up a stash of left overs along with the odd TS plates and also boughts (where you might as well add that to the order just to see, or it was on sale,,,) Pretty soon you're drowning in your stash and start looking to use it up just so you won't feel guilty next time your order something. The box that I'm doing right now consists of a tile that I won in an art contest, left over glass from old projects, extra mirror tiles from my last "thing", clay that I had and a few pieces of a tile that just came in a mix that I "also bought" when maryland mosaics had a recent sale! lol

BEAUTIFUL mirror, and your work on it is gorgeous. My suggestion w/be to paint the edges a nice rich dark color that goes w/one of the colors in the mosaics, and partially gold leaf it - that is, scatter some gold leaf. Other suggestion is paint as in upper suggestion, and use rub-n-buff lightly over the paint. You COULD even just use a gold metallic paint. That's my suggestions.

Absolutely lovely!!!!! How do you have it suspended? I agree the folks over on the garden junk side would probably love to see your idea also.

It your typical oval mirror with stand you see.My sister gave it to me and it didn't have the mirror.She started to throw it away but I wanted it for this purpose.I had a piece of glass cut for it...decoupaged the pics off internet.The big flower is a metal piece off of a lamp base.Took copper wire and made the stem/leaves.Used coke caps/metal flower petals off a lamp found and put a pic inside them.Scrolled the words on there with a dremel and the rest is history,as they say.
